Pro Bridge manual final.qxd 2/8/2006 11:42 AM Page 7 Pro Bridge manual final.qxd 2/8/2006 11:42 AM 1. GETTING STARTED: THE BASICS 1.1 Power On Your Pro Bridge 311 runs on four "AAA"(AM4/R03) batteries. Locate the battery compartment in the base of the unit, at the top, and slide off the cover in the direction of the arrows. Insert the batteries, making sure that you observe the correct polarity (+/-), as marked inside the compartment. We recommend fresh alkaline batteries for longer battery life. See the Menu System Chart in Section 2 for an illustrated overview of your menu choices and options! Follow these guidelines when using the Menu System: • The flashing character indicates the current option/menu choice. • The X and W keys move the flashing cursor through the current choices. • The T key moves the flashing character (suit, value, etc.) from Line 1 of the display to Line 2 during bidding and play. Some option selections are also made this way. • The Skey cancels the last Line 2 input during bidding and play (before pressing ENTER). • ENTER selects and confirms the currently flashing option. • ESCAPE returns you to the most recent major menu: the Main Menu, Deal Menu, or Edit Menu. Pressing Important: To ensure that memory contents are not lost if your computer is unplugged, try to keep batteries installed. To turn the computer on, press GO/ STOP. After a brief start-up display, you'll see the Main Menu (PGSIBLR), indicating that the computer is ready to play. If the unit doesn't respond, static discharge may have caused it to lock up. To reset the unit, use a paper clip or another sharp object to press down into the hole marked ACL in the base of the unit for at least one full second. This clears the memory and resets the computer to its default settings. Page 8 ESCAPE repeatedly takes you back to the Main Menu. 1.2 Get to Know the Menu System 1.3 Ready? Time to Deal! Before learning how to play, you should take a few moments to familiarize yourself with the Pro Bridge 311's integrated menu system. Once you understand the basic concept, it will be easier for you to explore all the special features and options which are accessed via the menus! After pressing GO/STOP to turn the Pro Bridge 311 on, the display will show the Main Menu (PGSIBLR). If necessary, press ESCAPE until this display shows. Notice that the P is flashing, and Play shows on Line 2. The flashing letter indicates the current option choice. The X key cycles through the remaining options, as follows: To get an overview of how the menus work, take a look at the Menu System Chart on the previous page. It provides a graphic representation of the primary menus you'll encounter as you select various options and get ready to play. The dashed displays in the chart signify further menu options, which are described individually in the appropriate sections of the manual. If you should ever find yourself confused by where you are within the menu system, simply refer back to the chart. Back up to the previous menu by pressing ESCAPE, if necessary, to locate your place on the chart. Also, keep in mind that pressing ESCAPE repeatedly will return you to the Main Menu at any time. P - Play XG - Game level XS - Sound on/off XI - BL Intensity Pro Bridge manual final.qxd 2/8/2006 11:42 AM USING THE ESCAPE KEY: AN IMPORTANT NOTE! Pressing ESCAPE at any time during bidding or play (unless you're canceling a mode, as specifically directed), will result in the immediate termination of your current hand. Be careful not to press ESCAPE inadvertently during your game! Line 1 of the display now shows all the symbols necessary to make your bid: Pw e r q N (Pass/Clubs/Diamonds/Hearts/ Spades/No Trump), and Line 2 prompts you to make a bid for South. There are two different ways to bid: • XB - Bidding systems XL - Language XR - Reset score Each of these Main Menu options will be discussed in detail in Section 2. For now, let's concentrate on starting our game! To select Play Mode, as indicated by the flashing P, press ENTER. The computer will now switch to the Deal Menu, with a display of RNES. Notice that the R is flashing, and Random deal shows in Line 2, indicating the currently selected option. If necessary, press X or W until the R flashes. The X key cycles through the remaining option choices, as follows: R - Random deal XN - By deal no. XE - After edit XS - Same deal Each of these Deal Menu options will be discussed in detail in Section 3. For now, let's allow the computer to deal randomly. To select the Random Deal option, as indicated by the flashing R, press ENTER. The computer will now shuffle the deck, deal 13 cards to each of the four players, and the bidding can begin! If you don't like the random hand that's just been dealt, return to the Deal Menu with ESCAPE, and press ENTER again to generate another randomlydealt hand. 1.4 Learn to Bid… After the cards have been dealt, your hand for South will appear on the lower portion of the display. Any bids already made will show under the appropriate Player Indicators, and SOUTH will flash when it's your turn to bid. The vulnerability, if any, will also be displayed. Page 9 Direct Key Bidding: Press a Suit Key (q r e w ) or NO TRUMP, and then a Value Key (2/3/4…), in that order. As soon as the Suit Key is pressed, the symbol for that suit will appear on Line 2 of the display. Likewise, when the Value Key is pressed, that value will also appear on Line 2, and the display will prompt you to Press Enter. Confirm your bid by pressing ENTER. To pass, press PASS and ENTER. • Cursor Key Bidding: Press > or < to move the flashing cursor along the characters in Line 1 of the display, until you reach your desired suit symbol. Next, press ? to copy that suit symbol to Line 2 of the display. Line 1 now changes to show the possible bid values: 1234567. Press X or W to position the flashing cursor over your desired bid value, and press T to copy that number to Line 2. Finally, press ENTER to confirm your bid. After you submit your bid with ENTER, using either of the above methods, the computer will bid the remaining hands. When SOUTH flashes again, it's time to enter your next bid. For this and subsequent bids, Line 1 of the display will again show the bid symbols as before, with the addition of d for double or R for redouble, if appropriate. Enter your bid as described above. If you decide to double or redouble, either press DOUBLE and then ENTER, or use T to move the d or R down to Line 2, and then press ENTER. Continue bidding until there have been three consecutive passes. At this point, the computer will take you directly into the playing phase. Note that the computer's default settings are Team of Four (Duplicate Bridge), and American Standard (Five-Card Majors). Pro Bridge manual final.qxd 2/8/2006 11:42 AM 1.5 …and Learn to Play! Just as in a game played by four human players, the bids made will have decided who is to lead. The player with the highest bid is declarer, and declarer's partner is dummy. The player to the right of dummy leads the first card, and play then continues in a clockwise direction. The object is to win tricks, and you must follow suit whenever possible. Tricks are won by the highest card of the suit that's been led, but cards from the trump suit (if any) will outrank cards from any other suit. by using the Direct Keys or the Cursor Keys, just as you did during the bidding phase: • Direct Key Method: Press a Suit Key (q r e w ), then a Value Key (2 to A), in that order. Then, press ENTER. • Cursor Key Method: Press X or W to move the flashing cursor along the characters in Line 1 of the display, until you reach your desired suit symbol. Next, press T to copy that suit symbol to Line 2 of the display. Line 1 now changes to show your available cards for that particular suit. Press X or W to move the flashing cursor until you reach your desired card. Again, press T to copy that value to Line 2, and then press ENTER. If it's your opening lead, SOUTH will flash; otherwise, the computer will lead. For subsequent tricks, the first player is the winner of the previous trick. Once the first card is led, watch the display for the following: • The suits and values appear in the middle of the display, as the cards are being played. • Dummy's hand is normally displayed at the top half of the display, and your hand is shown at the bottom. If South is dummy, however, your hand as North will be displayed at the top. • The Dummy Indicator appears under WEST • , NORTH , EAST or SOUTH If all the other cards have not yet been played when you enter your card, the computer will continue to play. Once the trick has been won, Line 2 will show the contract, along with the number of tricks won so far by North/South and East/West (e.g., 2™r NS 4 EW 2). BIDDING/PLAY INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW! • If you change your mind after entering a suit or value (but before pressing ENTER), press the S key to cancel and start over. • When only a single suit or value is valid, it is automatically selected and moved down to Line 2. • When only one card is left to play in the final round, the computer will automatically play that card for you. • Attempting to enter an invalid suit or value will result in an error beep. • If all parties pass, All pass will be displayed, along with a 0 result. If this happens, return to the Deal Menu for a new hand by pressing ESCAPE. • Press ESCAPE during bidding or play to terminate your current hand and return to the Deal Menu. . A symbol on the left-hand side of the display (q r e w ) will be underlined to indicate the trump suit, if any. The computer will play East and West, and it will also play North (if North is not declarer or dummy). If North is declarer or dummy, you'll play both North and South. Whenever it's your turn, you'll see SOUTH flash (or NORTH if you're playing North). You'll also choose the cards for dummy. On your turn, Line 1 of the display will show your available suits (e.g., w e r q ), the current player (e.g., S for South), and the vulnerability, if any. Note that, if only one suit or value is valid for that play, it will be played for you automatically. After you have selected the suit using one of the methods described below, the display will show your available cards in that suit (e.g., AQ943). Play a card Page 10 Pro Bridge manual final.qxd 2/8/2006 11:42 AM Press ENTER to start play of the next trick. Enter a card, as before, and continue to play until all 13 tricks have been taken. 1.6 Checking Out the Results After the last trick has been won, the result will be shown. Note that the result displays will be different, depending on the type of Bridge you're playing. a. Team of Four Results To help you understand the results of these games, take a look at the following examples: • Result: W 3 r = / EW 120 Line 1 shows declarer playing WEST , in a contract of 3 r , bid and made (=). Line 2 gives East/West 120 points. • Result: N 4 q -2 / NS 50 Line 1 shows declarer playing NORTH , in a contract of 4 q , bid but down 2 tricks (-2). Line 2 gives North/South 50 points. At this point, you may press ESCAPE to return to the Deal Menu, or press ENTER to store the result and have the computer replay the hand, playing all four positions. If you press ENTER, Replaying will show briefly, as the computer goes into Autoplay Mode and plays the same hand again. On completion of the last trick, you'll be prompted to press ENTER. The results will then be shown, as in the first game. This time, though, Line 2 also displays the International Match Points (e.g., N 3 e +2, and then IMP: 0). Press ENTER once more to display the next set of results, showing the total number of deals and the cumulative IMP for both teams (e.g., deals 2, and then IMP: 0/14). Finally, press ENTER to return to the Deal Menu. b. Rubber Bridge Results Press ENTER after the last trick has been completed, and the result will show on Line 1, e.g., E 4 w = (declarer playing EAST in a contract of 4w , bid and made). Line 2 Page 11 shows the above and below the line scores, as in AL:0 BL:80. At this point, you may press ESCAPE to return to the Deal Menu, or press ENTER repeatedly to display and store a variety of results, as in the examples below. o The current scores above and below the line before a rubber is made (for North/South, then East/West): Total Total NS: EW: / / AL:150 BL:0 AL:0 BL:80 o The cumulative score of previous rubbers: Total point / NS:0 EW:0. Press ENTER or ESCAPE to return to the Deal Menu. 1.7 Playing the Next Hand At any time during or after game play, you may reset for a new hand by pressing ESCAPE. The Deal Menu will come up, signifying that the computer is ready for another hand, using the currently set level and options. Caution: Be sure not to press ESCAPE inadvertently, as your current game will be cleared from the computer's memory! 2. MAIN MENU OPTIONS For a general overview of the menu options and many of the sub-options, be sure to take a look at the Menu System Chart.The chart will show you how the menu system works, and it will help you become comfortable navigating through the menu displays. Each of the individual menu options is also covered in this section, or elsewhere in the manual. The Main Menu is the starting point, giving you access to the other menus and game options. As described previously in Section 1.3, the Main Menu is displayed as PGSIBLR. The flashing character always indicates the current option choice, and the X key cycles through the remaining options, as follows: Pro Bridge manual final.qxd P XG XS XI XB XL XR - 2/8/2006 11:42 AM Page 12 To change the level setting: Play - Game level - Sound - BL - Bidding - Language - Reset on/off Intensity systems a.

TIP: To cancel menu changes before confirming with ENTER, simply press ESCAPE to return to the Main Menu! 2.1 Accessing the Deal Menu [Main Menu Item: PGSIBLR] Your computer offers several interesting dealing options from which to choose, including the following: • Random deals: Play hands that are randomly generated by the computer. • Numbered deals: Choose from a series of built-in deals, numbered from 1 to 999,999. • Edited deals: Play hands that you've constructed via the Edit Menu. • Replayed deals: Play your previous hand once again. The dealing options are selected from the Deal Menu, which is accessed directly from the Main Menu. With the P flashing for Play, press ENTER to display the Deal Menu (RNES). Note that ESCAPE will also take you directly back to the Deal Menu in many cases, in preparation for a new hand. For complete details on selecting deals, see Section 3. 2.2 Selecting a Game Type/Level [Main Menu Item: PGSIBLR] Whether you prefer playing Rubber Bridge or Duplicate Bridge (Team of Four), you've come to the right place! Not only can you choose which type of game you'd like to play, but we've even included nine different levels of Rubber Bridge for you to try out, as described below. Many of you will also want to check out the unique Computer Peeks Level, which is included especially for those who are looking for more challenging game play! Line 2 = Current level description. d. Press X to select the desired level. Press ENTER to confirm and return to the Main Menu. The level settings are described below. For details on scoring, see Appendix B, at the back of the manual. a. Rubber Bridge [Level Menu Items: 123456789TP] The Rubber Bridge Levels (Levels 1 through 9) are used in conjunction with randomlydealt hands. Each level is displayed as 1, 2, etc., along with a description, such as Rubber bridge 1. Here, the lower the level, the more likely it is that the North/South pair will have more honor points than the East/West pair. b. Team of Four (Duplicate Bridge) [Level Menu Item: 123456789TP] This level, the computer's default level, is displayed as T (Team of four). In this type of game, the same deal is played twice, with you playing South's hand first. The computer then plays all four hands by taking your place, replaying the hand you've just played, comparing the two results, and calculating the difference in International Match Points. Note that the dealer and vulnerability are preset for each hand. After selecting the Team of Four Level and pressing ENTER, choose your dealing method and play the hand as in Rubber Bridge. At the end, after pressing ENTER to see the result, press ENTER again to see the score. At this point, pressing ENTER one more time will cause the computer to replay the hand, and you'll see Replaying displayed briefly. The Pro Bridge 311 now Pro Bridge manual final.qxd 2/8/2006 11:42 AM bids and plays the same hand in Autoplay Mode, with the computer playing all four hands. c. Computer Peeks [Level Menu Item: 123456789TP] This unique level, displayed as P for computer Peeks, is also a Team of Four Level. Here, the computer is given a distinct advantage, in that it's allowed to "see" game information that it would not ordinarily be able to access! This level can come in handy for those of you who find that you're beating the computer once too often. Try out Level P, and you'll definitely have to work harder to win! Don't worry, though, about giving up too much power- the computer is fairly reasonable about peeking, and uses only some of the available information to gain an advantage. Note, also, that the advantage the computer gains is more significant in defensive play than in bidding or declarer play. You can also rest assured that the computer will never peek on any other level! Page 13 2.4 Light Too Weak/Strong? Adjust It! [Main Menu Item: PGSIBLR] If you're in a dim light situation, you have the option of turning on the backlight to illuminate the display!
