Wireless Phone Safety Tips

Your Samsung wireless telephone gives you the powerful
ability to communicate by voice-almost anywhere, anytime.
But an important responsibility accompanies the benefits of
wireless phones, one that every user must uphold.
When driving a car, driving is your first responsibility. When
using your wireless phone behind the wheel of a car,
practice good common sense and remember the following
tips:
1. Get to know your Samsung 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.
2. When available, use a hands-free device. If possible,
add an additional layer of convenience and safety to your
wireless phone with one of the many hands-free accessories
available today.
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, if possible, 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.
