Health and safety information
3. Position your wireless phone within easy reach.
Be able to access your wireless phone without
removing your eyes from the road. If you get an
incoming call at an inconvenient time, let your
voice mail 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. Do not take notes or look up phone numbers
while driving. Jotting down a "to do" list or
flipping 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 that have the
potential to divert your attention from the road.
8. Use your wireless phone to call for help. Dial 9-1-
1 or other local emergency number in the case of
fire, traffic accident or medical emergencies.
Remember, it is a free call on your wireless
phone!
9. Use your wireless phone to help others in
emergencies. If you see an auto accident, crime
in progress or other serious emergency where
lives are in danger, call 9-1-1 or other local
emergency number, as you would want others to
do for you.
10. 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 number.
"The wireless industry reminds you to use your
phone safely when driving."
