6. Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls
when you are not moving or before pulling into traffic. Try to
plan your calls before you begin your trip, or attempt to
coincide your calls with times you may be stopped at a stop
sign, red light or otherwise stationary. But if you need to dial
while driving, follow this simple tip-dial only a few numbers,
check the road and your mirrors, then continue.
7. Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that
may be distracting. Stressful or emotional conversations and
driving do not mix-they are distracting and even dangerous
when you are behind the wheel. Make people you are talking
with aware you are driving and if necessary, suspend phone
conversations which have the potential to divert your attention
from the road.
8. Use your smartphone to call for help. Your smartphone is one
of the greatest tools you can own to protect yourself and your
family in dangerous situations-with your smartphone at your
side, help is only three numbers away. Dial 9-1-1 in the case of
fire, traffic accident, road hazard, or medical emergencies.
Remember, 9-1-1is a free call on your smartphone!
9. Use your smartphone to help others in emergencies. Your
smartphone provides you a perfect opportunity to be a "good
Samaritan" in your community. If you see an auto accident,
crime in progress, or other serious emergency where lives are
in danger, call 9-1-1, as you would want others to do for you.
10.Call roadside assistance or a special wireless non-emergency
assistance number when necessary. Certain situations you
encounter while driving may require attention, but are not
urgent enough to merit a call to 9-1-1. But you can still use
your smartphone to lend a hand. If you see a broken-down
vehicle posing no serious hazard, a broken traffic signal, a
minor traffic accident where no one appears injured, or a
vehicle you know to be stolen, call roadside assistance or
other special non-emergency wireless number.

NOTICE FOR CONSUMERS WITH HEARING DISABILITIES
Digital Wireless Phones to be Compatible with Hearing Aids
On July 10, 2003, the Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) modified the exemption for wireless phones under the
Hearing Aid Compatibility Act of 1988. This means that wireless
phone manufacturers and service providers must make digital
wireless phones accessible to individuals who use hearing aids.
For more information, please go to the FCC's Consumer Alert
on accessibility of digital wireless phones at http://www.fcc.gov/
cgb/consumerfacts/accessiblewireless.html.
Wireless telephones are hand-held phones with built-in
antennas, often called cell, mobile, or PCS phones. These phones
are popular with callers because they can be carried easily from
place to place.
Wireless telephones are two-way radios. When you talk into a
wireless telephone, it picks up your voice and converts the sound
to radio frequency energy (or radio waves). The radio waves
travel through the air until they reach a receiver at a nearby base
station. The base station then sends your call through the
telephone network until it reaches the person you are calling.
When you receive a call on your wireless telephone, the
message travels through the telephone network until it reaches a
base station close to your wireless phone. Then the base station
sends out radio waves that are detected by a receiver in your
telephone, where the signals are changed back into the sound of
a voice.
