So you think you’re good at Solitaire, huh? If
so, then you’ve never played FreeCell. This
game takes the basic principals of Solitaire to
the next level and beyond! Simply separate a
deck of cards into its four suits, lowest to
highest. Sound simple enough? Well, after a
few rounds of FreeCell, you’ll wish you had
more than just four Free Cells to work with!
• Batteries might leak if improperly
installed, or explode if recharged, disas-
sembled or heated.
FREECELL RULES
FreeCell is a Solitaire type game played with
all 52 playing cards dealt face up. The object
of the game is to divide all the cards into their
four suits: Hearts, Clubs, Diamonds, and
Spades. The four suits should be “stacked”
onto the Home Cells in order from Ace (being
the lowest) to King (being the highest).

EXAMPLE: The Ace of Spades is in a Home
Cell. At the bottom of one of the columns is a
3 of Spades with a 2 of Spades right behind it.
You may move the 3 of Spades to a Free Cell
in order to free up the 2 of Spades. Once the
2 of Spades is placed on the Ace of Spades,
you can then place the 3 of Spades on top of
the 2 of Spades.

LEGAL MOVES
1. You can move any card from the bottom of
a column to an empty Free Cell.
HINT: Keep your Free Cells empty as much as
possible; you’ll always need them. Empty
columns are very useful as well.
UP and DOWN ARROWS - Use these to
scroll up and down the cards.
2. You can move any card from a Free Cell or
from the bottom of a column to a home cell if
it is the next highest card than the card found
in that home cell and it’s in the same suit.
CARD BUTTONS - Press one of these but-
tons to select a card or cards in the column
directly above it.
HOME CELLS BUTTON - Press to send a
selected card directly to a Home Cell
EXAMPLE: You can move an 9 of diamonds
onto a 8 of diamonds in a home cell.
FREE CELLS BUTTON - Press to send a
selected card directly to a Free Cell
HOME CELLS - These four cells are where
you will place each suit in order of Ace to
King.
At the end of each move, the game will auto-
matically transfer all unneeded cards into
home cells (Unneeded cards are determined if
there are no lower ranking cards of the oppo-
site color left in the playing area).
FREE CELLS - These are placeholders to
where you can temporarily move cards.
SLEEP MODE - After 120 seconds of inactivi-
ty, the game will automatically shut down,
going into “sleep mode”. To turn it on again,
simply press the ON / DEAL button.
Aces can always be moved into an empty
home cell. Aces and 2’s are automatically
moved to the Home Cells if they are at the
bottom of a column
AUTO BACK LIGHT - Your Solitaire game is
equipped with an auto-backlight feature. This
allows you to play your favorite game in the
dark! After you turn your game on, or at any-
time while you are playing your game, if your
lighting conditions become dim, your screen
will automatically illuminate! Don't worry if
you set the game down, when the game goes
to sleep - the light will also automatically turn
off.
3. You can move a card from a Free Cell or
from the bottom of a column to the bottom of
another column as long as the rank of the
card is one less than the rank of the card you
will place it on and its color is different.
