Removing Smd Resistors; Shorting The Pads - powersoft DSP LITE Manual

The next stage consists of removing SMD resistors: R7, R53,
R147, R148.
Locate the "LINK" marking on the PCB, close to the top-right
edge of the XLR silkscreen layout (Figure 6).
Use the soldering iron with some added solder to heat the four
pads simultaneously and remove the resistors (figure 7).
Don't short the pads and take extra care to clean up any solder
excess.
Repeat the procedure to remove R147 and R148 (Figure 8).
The following step consists of shorting the pads in figure 9.
Use the soldering iron with some added solder to ensure proper
joining.
The solder joints should look like in figure 10.
