QUICK START

To enjoy a game of Bridge right away, without reading the entire manual first, simply follow these Quick Start steps!

1Locate the battery compartment in the base of the unit, and slide the cover off in the direction of the arrows. Insert four "AAA"(AM4/R03) alkaline batteries, making sure that you observe the correct polarity (+/-).

2Press the Cover Release Button, and then lift up and remove the protective cover. For convenience, you can store the cover by attaching it to the back of the unit whenever you're playing!

3Press GO/STOP to turn the computer on. When the display shows the Main Menu (PGSIBLR), we're ready to start! If your display shows something different, press ESCAPE until the Main Menu is displayed.

4The flashing P indicates the current option, Play. Press ENTER to select this option for our sample game, and you'll be taken directly to the Deal Menu.

5The display now shows RNES, with the letter R flashing to indicate Random deal. Press ENTER to select Random Deal, and the computer will automatically deal the first hand. If you'd prefer a different random hand, simply press ESCAPE and ENTER for another deal.

6Your hand is displayed, along with any bids made so far. SOUTH flashes, indicating that it's your turn to bid for South. Press a Suit Key (q r e w), and then a Value Key (2/3/4…) to make your bid. The NO TRUMP Key is also available for bidding. Finally, press ENTER. As you'll see later, the Cursor Keys can also be used for bidding and play. To pass at any point during bidding, press PASS, and then ENTER. Bidding continues until three consecutive passes ( P) have been made. The display now shows your hand and dummy's hand. The trump suit, if any, is underlined on the left-hand side, and play begins.

7If it's your opening lead, SOUTH will flash; otherwise the computer automatically leads, and SOUTH will flash on your turn.

The computer plays East, West, and North (if North is not declarer or dummy). If North is declarer or dummy, you'll play both North and South. Play your cards in turn, pressing a Suit Key, a Value Key, and ENTER. If a suit is forced, you need only press a Value Key and ENTER; if a card is forced, you need only press ENTER. Once the trick is complete, the contract and score are displayed. Press ENTER, as prompted. Then, continue as described above, until all 13 tricks have been won.

That's all there is to it - you've learned the basics! Section 1.6 will show you how to proceed from this point on…

To interrupt your game and store it in memory, press GO/STOP. To continue playing at any time, press GO/STOP again to turn the computer back on!
