How to connect the Bridge+More tablet and dealer via Bluetooth?
First, you need to turn both the Bridge+More dealer and tablet On:
Shortly after both devices are turned On the devices will try to communicate – you will see a message on the lower part of the main screen as shown below
Messages can for example be
- Locate dealer – working
- Dealer connected – found and connected to last connected dealer again
- Dealer out of range – no dealer found
You can also click “Locate dealer” to see if a dealer is connected – You will see the same message as shown above but the Bridge+More dealer’s cardinal directions will also start blinking one by one on the compass rose for you to be able to check connections at a distance with many tables in a room.
If no connection can be established automatically then click “Dealer Connection” on the tablet’s Bridge+More applications main menu as shown on the picture.
