Quick Start:
Using the speakerphone: press , then press number buttons to enter the number and make a
call without the handset. Face the FreeRide and speak in a normal voice. Press to end the call.
To switch from speakerphone to handset during a call, lift the handset.
Adjust volume during a call by pressing either – or +.
Press M to mute or ‘unmute’ your own voice.
Redialing: press Dial twice.
Putting a call on hold: press Hold. To get the call back, press the Line button on which the call
is held. If FreeRide rings and you can’t answer, you’ve probably pressed a button. Press Cancel
several times, until nothing happens in the display. Then answer. If FreeRide asks for Station
Name Here, ignore it until you get to “Entering Station Name” on page 10.
BUT before anything else, you need to know...
HOW THE ARROW BUTTONS WORK
HOW SHIFT, PRIMARY, AND SECONDARY BUTTON FUNCTIONS WORK
HOW THE CANCEL BUTTON WORKS
HOW THE SELECT BUTTON WORKS
HOW THE SAVE BUTTON WORKS
If you try to figure this out on your own, you’ll be here all day. If you use the Guide it’ll take half
an hour.
So read on....
You need to know...
How primary and secondary button functions work
Every FreeRide button can have a primary and a secondary function. For example, on the Dial
button, the secondary function is Callers. To use the primary function, press the Dial button. To
use the secondary function, press Shift, then Callers.
How the Shift button works
Whenever you press Shift, an up arrow appears at the lower right end of the display. If you
change your mind, press Shift again to cancel.
How the Save button works
You have to press Shift first, then press the Save button, to save entries or finish things.
How the Cancel button works
Press Cancel to exit from a menu or function. You can also press Cancel when you are entering
names or numbers, to throw away changes instead of saving them. In fact, if you can’t figure out
what’s going on, you can press Cancel to get you out of anything and start again.
How the Select button works
Press the Select button to choose the option, or to work with a displayed item or menu. When
scrolling through lists of things, or looking through menu items, press Select to choose
something. It’s like clicking on something with a mouse button to select it.
How the buttons work
Use these buttons to select things, to scroll through lists, or to move the cursor in the display.
You’ll also need to know this, but maybe later...

Introduction to FreeRide
• FreeRide Explained
FreeRide is a smart phone, flexible, and powerful. You can set up speed dialing, and a list of your
most-often called telephone numbers. Make calls with the handset, or hands-free with the
speakerphone. Adjust the volume as you speak, and mute FreeRide for privacy. Built into
FreeRide are all sorts of functions, provided by the Gateway. Every button has two functions,
most of which you can change to suit your own needs. The FreeRide display is easy to read, and
tells you a great deal about what happens on your own FreeRide while you’re out.
• How FreeRide Works
The illustration shows the basic grouping of FreeRide buttons by function. Your FreeRide may
have different labels on some buttons.
Press a line button to select an external line. FreeRide has two lines.

If no icon appears above a line, the button function has not been assigned.
