Smart Practices While Driving
Driving Safety
Drive Safe, Call Smart
Check the laws and regulations on the use of 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. Go to www.motorola.com/callsmart
for more information.
Your 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 phone while driving,
remember the following tips:
• Get to know your Motorola 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 hands-free
device. If possible, add an additional
layer of convenience to your phone with
one of the many Motorola Original
hands-free accessories available today.
• Position your phone within easy reach. Be able to
access your 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. Jotting down a "to do" list or going through your
address book 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 phone to call for help. Dial 911 or other local
emergency number in the case of fire, traffic accident, or
medical emergencies.**
