Loosen the strain-relief screws with a Phillips-head number 2
screwdriver.

The SCB-68 ships with wire jumpers in the F and G positions, as
Figure 2-1,

, shows. You must remove

the wire jumpers to use the positions. Use a low-wattage soldering iron
(20 to 30 W) when soldering to the SCB-68.

To desolder on the SCB-68, vacuum-type tools work best. Be careful to
avoid damaging the component pads when desoldering. Use only
rosin-core electronic-grade solder, because acid-core solder damages the
printed-circuit device and components.
