Wireless Phone Safety Tips
Drive Safe, Call Smart
Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless phones and
their accessories in the areas where you drive. Always obey them.
The use of these devices may be prohibited or restricted in certain
areas. Contact www.motorola.com/callsmart for more information.
Your wireless phone 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 wireless phone while driving, remember the
following tips:
• 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.
• When available, use a handsfree device. If possible, add an
additional layer of convenience to your wireless phone with one of
™
the many Motorola Original handsfree accessories available
today.
• 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 voice mail 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.

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 wireless phone to call for help. Dial 9-1-1 or other
local emergency number in the case of fire, traffic accident, or
1
medical emergencies.
• 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.
• 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.
