SAFE DRIVING RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USERS OF MOBILE
RADIOS*
Read the literature on the safe operation of your unit.
Keep both hands on the steering wheel and the microphone on the
hookswitch.
Place calls only when the vehicle is stopped.
When talking from a moving vehicle is unavoidable, drive in the slower
lane. Keep conversation brief.
If conversation requires taking notes or complex thought, stop the
vehicle in a safe place and continue your call.
Whenever you use a mobile radio you should exercise caution.
* As recommended by the AAA.
Two-way FM radio systems must be operated in accordance with the rules
and regulations of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). As an
operator of two-way radio equipment, you must be thoroughly familiar with
the rules that apply to your particular type of radio operation. Following these
rules will help to eliminate confusion, assure the most efficient use of existing
radio channels, and result in a smoothly functioning radio network.
