Wireless Phone Safety Tip - Motorola C340 User Manual

Wireless Phone Safety Tip

Your Motorola wireless telephone gives you the powerful ability to communicate by
voice— almost anywhere, anytime, wherever wireless
phone service is available and safe conditions allow. But an important responsibility
accompanies the benefits of wireless phones, one that every user must uphold.
When driving a car, driving is your first responsibility. If you find it necessary to use your
wireless phone while behind the wheel of a car, practice good common sense and
remember the following tips:
1 Get to know your Motorola wireless phone and its features such as speed dial
and redial. If available, these features help you to place your call without taking
your attention off the road.
2 When available, use a hands-free device. If possible, add an additional layer of
convenience to your wireless phone with one of the many Motorola Original™
hands- free accessories available today.
3 Position your wireless phone within easy reach. Be able to access your wireless
phone 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.
4 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.
5 If you receive an incoming call at an inconvenient time 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.
6 Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls when you are not
moving or before pulling into traffic. Try to plan calls when your car will be
stationary. If you need to make a call while moving, 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.
Make people you are talking with aware you are driving and suspend conversations
which have the potential to divert your attention away from the road.
