Wireless Phone Safety Tips
"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.
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.
8 Use your wireless phone to call for help. Dial 9-1-1 or other local
emergency number in the case of fire, traffic accident or medical
emergencies.*
9 Use your wireless phone to help others in emergencies. If you see
an auto accident, crime in progress or other serious emergency
where lives are in danger, call 9-1-1 or other local emergency
number, as you would want others to do for you.*
10 Call roadside assistance or a special non-emergency wireless
assistance number when necessary. If you see a broken-down
vehicle posing no serious hazard, a broken traffic signal, a minor
traffic accident where no one appears injured, or a vehicle you
know to be stolen, call roadside assistance or other special non-
emergency wireless number.*
Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless telephones
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.
