Safety instructions

Important safety warning

Failure to properly set up, use, and care for the Bridgemate II system can increase the risk of serious
injury or death, or damage to the system. Read this manual and the manuals of any peripherals for
important safety and health information. Keep all manuals for future reference. For replacement
manuals, go to http://support.bridgemate.com or contact your local Bridgemate supplier.

Select a safe location for the Bridgemate server and scoring devices
If the Bridgemate II server or Bridgemate II scoring devices falls and hits someone, it could cause
serious injury. To reduce the risk of such injuries and damage to parts of the system, set them up
according to these instructions and place them on a surface that:

• Is flat and level.

• Is stable and not likely to tip over.

• Allows all four feet of both the server and scoring device to be in contact with the surface.

• Is not likely to allow the server and scoring device to slip or slide off.

• Is clean and free of dust and debris.

If the surface or feet of server or scoring devices become dirty or dusty, clean them with a dry cloth.

Arrange all cables and cords so that people and pets are not likely to trip over or accidentally pull on
them as they move around or walk through the area. When the Bridgemate II server is not in use, you
may need to disconnect all cables and cords from the server to keep them out of the reach of children
and pets. Do not allow children to play with cables and cords.

Do not place any part of the Bridgemate II system on a bed, sofa, or other soft surface. Do not place
any part near heat sources, such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or amplifiers.

Avoid smoke and dust
Do not use the Bridgemate II system in smoky or dusty locations. Smoke and dust may damage the
Bridgemate II server and scoring devices.

Insert batteries into the Bridgemate II scoring devices or server

WARNING
Improper use of batteries may result in battery fluid leakage, overheating, or explosion. Released
battery fluid is corrosive and may be toxic. It can cause skin and eye burns, and is harmful if
swallowed. To reduce the risk of injury:

• Keep batteries out of reach of children.

• Do not heat, open, puncture, mutilate, or dispose of batteries in fire.

• Do not mix new and old batteries or batteries of different types (for example, carbon-zinc and
alkaline batteries)
