" Safety is the most important call you will ever make."
A Guide to Safe and Responsible Wireless Phone Use
TENS OF MILLIONS OF PEOPLE IN THE U.S. TODAY TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE UNIQUE
COMBINATION OF CONVENIENCE, SAFETY AND VALUE DELIVERED BY THE
WIRELESS TELEPHONE. QUITE SIMPLY, THE WIRELESS PHONE GIVES PEOPLE THE POWERFUL
ABILITY TO COMMUNICATE BY VOICE-ALMOST ANYWHERE, ANYTIME-WITH THE BOSS, WITH
A CLIENT, WITH THE KIDS, WITH EMERGENCY PERSONNEL OR EVEN WITH THE POLICE.
EACH YEAR, AMERICANS MAKE BILLIONS OF CALLS FROM THEIR WIRELESS PHONES, AND
THE NUMBERS ARE RAPIDLY GROWING.
But an important responsibility accompanies those benefits, one that every wireless
phone user must uphold. When driving a car, driving is your first responsibility. A wireless
phone can be an invaluable tool, but good judgment must be exercised at all times
while driving a motor vehicle-whether on the phone or not.
The basic lessons are ones we all learned as teenagers. Driving requires alertness,
caution and courtesy. It requires a heavy dose of basic common sense-keep your
head up, keep your eyes on the road, check your mirrors frequently and watch out for
other drivers. It requires obeying all traffic signs and signals and staying within
the speed limit. It means using seatbelts and requiring other passengers to do the same.
But with wireless phone use, driving safely means a little more. This brochure is a call to
wireless phone users everywhere to make safety their first priority when behind the
wheel of a car. Wireless telecommunications is keeping us in touch, simplifying our lives,
protecting us in emergencies and providing opportunities to help others in need. When
it comes to the use of wireless phones, safety is your most important call.
Wireless Phone "Safety Tips" Below are safety tips to follow while driving and using a
wireless phone which should be easy to remember.
1. Get to know your wireless phone and its features such as speed dial and redial.
Carefully read your instruction manual and learn to take advantage of valuable
features most phones offer, including automatic redial and memory. Also, work to
memorize the phone keypad so you can use the speed dial function without taking
your attention off the road.
