Enabling and Disabling the Watchdog Timer

The watchdog timer can be enabled or disabled by changing the position of the jumper on
JP501 of the digital board (1F5570A) as follows:
Watchdog timer enabled: Jump pins 2 and 3 on JP501
Watchdog timer disabled: Jump pins 1 and 2 on JP501
The watchdog timer is also disabled when the ProPalette monitor mode is activated via
the front panel keys as described on page 51.
