The Bridgemate is a small device designed to
enhance the enjoyment of bridge for tournament
directors and bridge players alike. The system
enables you to enter scores faster than before, and
is guaranteed to prevent operator errors. As well as
allowing players to enter board results, the
Bridgemate also feeds information to the players,
such as the achieved percentage on the board
played, and the traveler overview. We are convinced
that tournament directors and bridge players will
appreciate the convenience of the Bridgemate!
Preparing the Bridgemate for use
The Bridgemates are individually packed in compact sturdy cardboard boxes. Each Bridgemate comes
complete with four AAA batteries, which must be inserted into the bottom of the Bridgemate unit. The
+ and – signs in the casing indicate the insertion direction of the batteries. Insert all four batteries in
the direction indicated, close the lid and press the OK button. Check whether the text “Bridgemate
Pro” appears. The Bridgemate is now ready for use.
