Antenna Care and Replacement
Do not use a phone with a damaged antenna. If a damaged
antenna comes into contact with skin, a minor burn could
result. Replace a damaged antenna immediately with a
manufacturer-approved antenna. Use only an NEC supplied
or approved antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifica-
tions, or attachments could damage the phone and could
violate FCC regulations.
Driving
When using your phone while driving a vehicle, remember
that driving is your first responsibility; give full attention to
driving. Obey the area laws and regulations on the use of
cellular telephones while driving. Pull off the road and park
before making or answering a call if driving conditions
require additional caution. Practice good common sense
and utilize the following driver safety tips.
Driver Safety Tips
•
Acquaint yourself with phone features, such as speed
dialing and redial, that help you place a call without
taking your attention off the road.
•
Whenever possible, use a handsfree accessory with
your phone.
•
Place your phone within easy reach of the driver's seat
to ensure that you can access your phone without
removing your eyes from the road.
•
Inform the person at the other end of the conversation
that you are driving. If necessary, end the call while
driving in heavy traffic or hazardous weather condi-
tions. If you receive an incoming call at an inconve-
nient time, do not answer the phone. Your voice mail
service, if available, can answer the call.
•
Do not look up phone numbers or take notes while
driving.
•
Assess the traffic before placing calls. If possible, place
calls when your car is stationary.
•
Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations
that may distract your attention from driving.
•
Use your phone to call for emergency assistance for
yourself and others. Dial 9-1-1 (or the local emergency
number) to report fires, traffic accidents, medical
emergencies, crimes in progress, or any other serious
emergency where lives are in danger.
•
Call roadside assistance or a special non-emergency
assistance telephone number, as necessary, to report
non-emergency incidents.
