Driver Safety Tips
Your mobile telephone gives you the powerful ability
to communicate almost anywhere, anytime. But an
important responsibility accompanies the benefits
of mobile phones, one that every user must uphold.
When driving a car, driving is your first responsibility.
When using your mobile phone behind the wheel of a
car, practice good common sense and remember the
following tips:

• Your mobile phone may cause interference with some
hearing aids.
• Minor interference may affect TVs, radios, PCs, etc.
Road safety
• Do not use a hand-held phone while driving.
• Give full attention to driving.
• Use a hands-free kit.
• Pull off the road and park before making or answering
a call if driving conditions allow you to do so.
• RF energy may affect some electronic systems in your
vehicle such as car stereos and safety equipment.
• If your vehicle is equipped with an airbag, ensure it is
not obstructed by your mobile device or accessories.
It may fail or cause a serious injury if obstructed when
deployed.

• Use a hands free device to add an additional layer of
convenience and safety to your wireless phone with
one of the many hands free accessories available

• 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. Typing up a "to do" list or flipping through
your address book takes attention away from your
primary responsibility of driving safely.
• Place calls when you are not moving or before pulling
into traffic. Try to plan calls when you will not be
driving.
