Smart Practices While Driving

Check the laws and regulations on the use of mobile devices and their accessories in
Driving Safety
the areas where you drive. Always obey them. The use of these devices may be
prohibited or restricted in certain areas—for example, handsfree use only may be
required. Go to www.motorola.com/callsmart (in English only) for more
information.
Your mobile device lets you communicate by voice and data—almost anywhere, anytime,
wherever wireless service is available and safe conditions allow. When driving a car, driving is
your first responsibility. If you choose to use your mobile device while driving, remember the
following tips:
• Get to know your Motorola mobile device and its features such as speed dial, redial
and voice dial. If available, these features help you to place your call without taking your
attention off the road.
• When available, use a handsfree device. If possible, add an additional layer of
convenience to your mobile device with one of the many Motorola Original handsfree
accessories available today.
• Position your mobile device within easy reach. Be able to access your mobile device
without removing your eyes from the road. If you receive an incoming call at an inconvenient
time, if possible, let your voicemail answer it for you.
• Let the person you are speaking with know you are driving; if necessary, suspend
the call in heavy traffic or hazardous weather conditions. Rain, sleet, snow, ice, and
even heavy traffic can be hazardous.
• Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving. Jotting down a "to do" list
or going through your address book takes attention away from your primary
responsibility—driving safely.
• Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls when your car is not
moving or before pulling into traffic. If you must make a call while moving, dial only a few
numbers, check the road and your mirrors, then continue.
• Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may be distracting. Make
people you are talking with aware you are driving and suspend conversations that can divert
your attention away from the road.
• Use your mobile device to call for help. Dial 911 or other local emergency number in the
case of fire, traffic accident, or medical emergencies (wherever wireless phone service is
available).
• Use your mobile device to help others in emergencies. If you see an auto accident,
crime in progress, or other serious emergency where lives are in danger, call 911 or other local
emergency number (wherever wireless phone service is available), as you would want others
to do for you.
• Call roadside assistance or a special non-emergency wireless assistance number
when necessary. 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
(wherever wireless phone service is available).

Privacy & Data Security
Motorola understands that privacy and data security are important to everyone. Because some
Privacy & Data Security
features of your mobile device may affect your privacy or data security, please follow these
recommendations to enhance protection of your information:
• Monitor access—Keep your mobile device with you and do not leave it where others may
have unmonitored access. Use your device's security and lock features, where available.
• Keep software up to date—If Motorola or a software/application vendor releases a patch
or software fix for your mobile device that updates the device's security, install it as soon as
possible.
• Secure Personal Information—Your mobile device can store personal information in
various locations including your SIM card, memory card, and phone memory. Be sure to
remove or clear all personal information before you recycle, return, or give away your device.
You can also backup your personal data to transfer to a new device.
Note: For information on how to backup or wipe data from your mobile device, go to
www.motorola.com/myatrix2
• Online accounts—Some mobile devices provide a Motorola online account (such as
MOTOBLUR). Go to your account for information on how to manage the account, and how to
use security features such as remote wipe and device location (where available).
• Applications and updates—Choose your apps and updates carefully, and install from
trusted sources only. Some apps can impact your phone's performance and/or have access to
private information including account details, call data, location details and network
resources.
• Wireless—For mobile devices with Wi-Fi features, only connect to trusted Wi-Fi networks.
Also, when using your device as a hotspot (where available) use network security. These
precautions will help prevent unauthorized access to your device.
• Location-based information—Location-based information includes information that can
be used to determine the approximate location of a mobile device. Mobile phones which are
connected to a wireless network transmit location-based information. Devices enabled with
GPS or AGPS technology also transmit location-based information. Additionally, if you use
applications that require location-based information (e.g. driving directions), such applications
transmit location-based information. This location-based information may be shared with
third parties, including your wireless service provider, applications providers, Motorola, and
other third parties providing services.
• Other information your device may transmit—Your device may also transmit testing and
other diagnostic (including location-based) information, and other non-personal information to
Motorola or other third-party servers. This information is used to help improve products and
services offered by Motorola.
If you have further questions regarding how the use of your mobile device may impact your
privacy or data security, please contact Motorola at privacy@motorola.com, or contact your
service provider.
