Setting the region
When you start up Bridgemate Control Software for the first time, you will be asked to select your
geographic region. To enable the server to transmit data to the Bridgemates over the correct radio
frequency, it is vital that you select the appropriate region.
If your region is not listed, please contact your Bridgemate supplier for further assistance.
Setting the channel
The radio frequency channel over which the server communicates is set to 0 by default. For more
information on how to modify this channel, please see Chapter 4.
Configuring the Bridgemates
See chapter 5 on how to configure the Bridgemates and to put them in use.
Operating instructions
The Bridgemate II server is very easy to use. Only a few instructions need to be followed. The
following rules must be observed:
-
The supplied power adapter may only be used with the Bridgemate II server. Under no
circumstances should another adapter be used.
-
Install the batteries as indicated. Incorrectly installed batteries could damage the server.
-
During use, make sure the server is placed horizontally on a level surface.
-
Do not place any objects on the server and make sure there is as much distance between the
server and other objects as possible. The fewer objects there are between the Bridgemates
and the server, the better the data exchange will be.
-
Where possible, make sure the Bridgemates and the server are not separated by a wall. The
server should preferably be placed in a central location between the Bridgemates. If this is not
possible, place the server as closely as possible to the Bridgemates along the edge of the
playing room.
