Switching on/off
The Bridgemate does not have a separate on/off button. To switch on the Bridgemate, press the OK
button. It is not possible to switch off the Bridgemate manually. The Bridgemate will automatically
switch off after it has been idle for a while, i.e. no buttons have been pressed. No data will be lost
when the Bridgemate switches off. Simply press the OK button to continue as before. In other words,
you can continue entering scores as soon as the Bridgemate has been activated again.
The default autopower-off time is set to 20 seconds. This value can be changed to between 5 and 60
seconds. See chapter 6 for more information.
Activating the Bridgemate
When switching on the Bridgemate Pro for the first time, you will be taken to the main screen:

Press the OK key again to view the section and table settings of the Bridgemate. The default setting is

Bridgemate is now ready for use.
