Chapter 1: Getting Started
Congratulations on purchasing the ultimate relationship enhancement device, the
Matchmaker! The Matchmaker device is designed to provide you with a wireless
means of determining whom you are compatible with through an electronic
exchange of information. Unlike other products, the Matchmaker has the
following unique properties that help you meet the right person:

Compatibility: the right person for the right reasons. Dating experts agree
that for long lasting relationships to succeed, compatibility needs to be the
primary component. Your Matchmaker device is built to determine exactly who
you are best suited for in a love relationship, and will only notify you if you match
another Matchmaker’s compatibility criteria.

Confidentiality: you decide if your personal information is displayed.
The Matchmaker comes with a contact information block which you can
provide a number for, or simply choose to have ‘I’ll tell you later’ displayed.
Either way provides you with a means to give out your phone number when
you’re ready.

Portability: the perfect device for large group functions. Most singles would
contend that it’s tough trying to find someone with the same interests without
having to enlist some help. This ‘help’ often comes in the form of meeting others
through a trusted friend, or though an online Internet dating service. But neither
of these two methods come in handy at group functions like singles cruises or at
group get-togethers. The Matchmaker, with its small size and lightweight
properties, exclusively allows you to know who you are compatible with at group
functions and social events.
These advantages are just a few of the reasons your Matchmaker will truly
improve the way you meet others. For more information on these features (and to
find out what the Matchmaker can do for you), please take the time to familiarize
yourself with this User’s Manual.
1.1
What can I do with my Matchmaker?
Your Matchmaker is designed to help you meet others who share the same set of
common interests. After setting up your device (see Section 1.3-8), you will be
prompted to answer a series of multiple-choice questions concerning your
background and interests. This information will be stored as your device’s ‘user
survey.’
Your Matchmaker is specifically designed to interact with other Matchmaker
devices. While attempting to communicate with other Matchmaker devices in
close proximity, your device will broadcast your own survey. During this rapid
electronic exchange of signals, your device works in tandem with other
4
Matchmaker devices to determine which user’s surveys are compatible. The
surveys are relayed from device to device via a wireless, electronic signal each
one broadcasts. After receiving another user’s survey, the device uses a
program to determine if the two profiles are ‘compatible.’ Once compatibility is
determined by both devices, both your device and the device with which
compatibility was established exchange picture images electronically. The
vibration device in each device activates, and each user sees a picture image
and profile in the Liquid Crystal Display screen.
You will be able to enter personal information, likes and dislikes about yourself
and the person you’re interested in your User’s Profile (see Section 2, My
Profile).
1.2
What can I do with my matches?
The Matchmaker can store a number of Matches that you will encounter as you
use the device. You will be able to review these Matches, seeing both Profiles
and Contact Information.
1.3
Matchmaker Package Contents
After opening the packaging of your Matchmaker, the first step is to ensure all of
the components are present. The packaging your Matchmaker comes in will
contain the following four (4) items:

The Matchmaker Device

Installation Disc

USB Cable

Extra Lithium Battery
After opening the package, ensure all four of these items are enclosed. If one or
more are missing, please refer to Section 7.3, Missing Components, for
instructions on how to receive these (missing) components. Note: It is your
responsibility to contact the Matchmaker Project if any of the above components
are missing.
1.4
Install the software first
The second task to perform after opening the box is to install the software onto
your computer. Refer to Section 5, Installing the Software, to complete this
portion of your setup. Installing the Software is a critical part of
5
1.5
Installing the Battery
The Matchmaker has a small internal backup battery that allows you to change
the main battery without losing RAM data (user-installed programs and data), so
long as it is replaced immediately.
It is recommended that you fully charge the battery before setting up the unit
(see Section 1.4 Charging the Battery for instructions on how to do this). To
ensure the battery has a long life, it is also recommended that you recharge the
battery regularly. Your Matchmaker uses some power to maintain files in RAM
and the clock. While working at your desk, keep the Matchmaker and Charger
Adapter connected through the USB Synchronization Cable. When you travel, it
is recommended that you carry the AC Adapter, Charger Adapter plug, or an
optional spare battery with you.
NOTE: Your Matchmaker is shipped with the battery partially
charged. It is your responsibility (as the owner) to ensure the battery is
fully charged prior to operating your Matchmaker device.
If the battery is not fully charged, you must connect the AC Adapter to the
Matchmaker to fully charge it before continuing.
It takes about four hours to fully charge the battery.
6
To install the removable/rechargeable battery:
1) Locate the battery.
2) On the back of the Matchmaker, slide the Cover Release latch up
the battery cover away from the unit (see Figure 1).
and pull
Figure 1 Removing the Battery Cover

3) Insert the battery into the battery slot on the right side of the
Matchmaker , and push the left side of the battery into place
with the connectors lined up on the lower right (see Figure 2).
Figure 2 Inserting the Battery
4) Replace the battery cover by matching the tabs on the battery cover to the
latches on the Matchmaker, and snap into place (see Figure 3).
Figure 3: Replacing the Battery Cover
8
1.6
Removing the Battery
To remove the battery from the Matchmaker, lift the left side of the battery and
pull it out.
CAUTION: Because most of the applications and data you install on your
Matchmaker are held in memory (RAM), you need to reinstall them if
the battery completely discharges or if the battery is removed from the unit
for extended periods of time.
1.7
Charging the Battery
The standard AC Adapter works in any household outlet. You can also purchase
one that works in your vehicle’s cigarette lighter or a 12-volt power outlet.
To charge the Matchmaker using the AC Adapter:
1) Plug the AC Adapter into an electrical outlet.
2) Insert the AC Adapter plug into the charging adapter.
3) Insert the charging adapter into the bottom of the Matchmaker.
4) When the power indicator on the top of the Matchmaker turns solid
amber, the unit is fully charged and you can disconnect the AC Adapter.
The approximate time to fully charge a unit is four hours.
1.8
Turning the Matchmaker On & Off
To Turn the Device On:
Press the Power button. You will know when the device is powered on when the
upper Power Light turn on.
To Turn the Device Off:
Press and hold down the Power button for 3 seconds. You will know the device is
powered off when the upper Power Light turns off.
Note: If your Matchmaker device either fails to power up, or fails to power down
after power is turned on, refer to Section 7, Getting Help.
9
1.9
Using the Navigation Pad and Selection Button
Moving Around:
The front of your Matchmaker device contains a 4-way (left, right, up and down
buttons) navigation pad. This navigation pad is there for two purposes:

To allow up and down movement, when trying to select a particular option.

To allow movement between different menus (left and right movement).
Moving to the left will bring you back to the first menu which you started
from. Moving to the right will move you forward into the menu option that is
currently selected. Note: If you are at the starting/original menu, pressing
the left button will do nothing. If you are at a terminal menu (one that does
not lead into another), pressing right will do nothing as well.
Selecting:
The front of your Matchmaker also contains a selection button, located to the
lower right of the navigation pad. This button acts like an <enter> key on a
desktop computer’s keyboard. This button serves two purposes:

To act in a similar fashion as the right button on the navigation pad. When
you want to enter a highlighted menu (ahead of the one you are in), press
the selection button and you will move into that menu.

When you are certain of the highlighted choice provided on the device’s
screen, press the selection button to confirm your choice. The device will
then perform whatever highlighted action/request you had selected on the
screen.
1.10
Checking Broadcast Status
Located on the front of your Matchmaker is an LED indicator. This indicator
notifies you of the broadcast status. The state of the broadcast status is
indicated by the following color schemes:
Broadcast On - Connected
Standby
- Connecting
Broadcast Off - Not Connected
= Green Light
= Yellow Light
= Red Light
