Locate the large field of jumpers positioned just above the part number silk screened in the center of the board. The jumpers are arranged into two banks, each with four rows. Bank A is on the left and bank B is on the right.

For each footswitch, two jumpers must be placed, one in each bank. The jumper blocks for each footswitch are labeled as follows:

Find the desired keycode in the Code table below. For each footswitch, the jumper in bank A sets the table column. The jumper in bank B sets the table row, Position the jumpers to correspond to the desired row and column in the Code Table. For each jumper row, position 1 is on the left.

Please note carefully, the rows in bank A and B for each footswitch are NOT adjacent. For example, P1 for FS1 is in the first row, But P4 for FS1 is in the second row.
