Wireless Phone Safety

"Safety is your most important call!"
Your Motorola wireless telephone gives you
the powerful ability to communicate by voice—almost
anywhere, anytime, wherever wireless phone service is
available and safe conditions allow. 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. If you find it necessary to use your
wireless phone while behind the wheel of a car,
practice good common sense and remember the
following tips:
1 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.
2 When available, use a hands-free device. If possible,
add an additional layer of convenience to your wireless
phone with one of the many Motorola Original™ 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 receive an incoming call at
an inconvenient time, if possible, let your voice mail
answer it for you.
Tips
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 If you receive an incoming call at an inconvenient
time 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.
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.
7 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 which have the potential to divert your
attention away from the road.
