Driving Precautions
Responsible and safe driving is your primary responsibility when behind the wheel of a
vehicle. Using a mobile device or accessory for a call or other application while driving may
cause distraction, and may be prohibited or restricted in certain areas—always obey the
laws and regulations on the use of these products.
While driving, NEVER:
• Type, read, enter or review texts, emails, or any other written data.
• Surf the web.
• Input navigation information.
• Perform any other functions that divert your attention from driving.
While driving, ALWAYS:
• Keep your eyes on the road.
• Use a handsfree device if available or required by law in your area.
• Enter destination information into a navigation device before driving.
• Use voice activated features (such as voice dial) and speaking features (such as audible
directions), if available.
• Obey all local laws and regulations for the use of mobile devices and accessories in the
vehicle.
• End your call or other task if you cannot concentrate on driving.
Remember to follow the "Smart Practices While Driving" at

Seizures, Blackouts & Eyestrain
To reduce eyestrain and avoid headaches, it is always a good idea to hold the screen a
comfortable distance from your eyes, use in a well-lit area, and take frequent breaks.
Some people may be susceptible to seizures or blackouts (even if they have never had one
before) when exposed to flashing lights or light patterns, such as when playing video games,
or watching videos with flashing-light effects.
58 Safety, Regulatory & Legal
Discontinue use and consult a physician if any of the following symptoms occur: seizures,
blackout, convulsion, eye or muscle twitching, loss of awareness, or disorientation.
If you or someone in your family has experienced seizures or blackouts, please consult with
your physician before using an application that produces flashing-light effects on your mobile
device.
Caution About High Volume Usage
Warning: Exposure to loud noise from any source for extended periods of time may affect
your hearing. The louder the volume sound level, the less time is required before your hearing
could be affected. To protect your hearing:
• Limit the amount of time you use headsets or headphones at high volume.
• Avoid turning up the volume to block out noisy surroundings.
• Turn the volume down if you can't hear people speaking near you.
If you experience hearing discomfort, including the sensation of pressure or fullness in your
ears, ringing in your ears, or muffled speech, you should stop listening to the device through
your headset or headphones and have your hearing checked.
For more information about hearing, see our website at
direct.motorola.com/hellomoto/nss/AcousticSafety.asp (in English only).
Repetitive Motion
When you repetitively perform actions such as pressing keys or entering finger-written
characters, you may experience occasional discomfort in your hands, arms, shoulders, neck,
or other parts of your body. If you continue to have discomfort during or after such use, stop
use and see a physician.
Children
Keep your mobile device and its accessories away from small children. These
products are not toys and may be hazardous to small children. For example:
• A choking hazard may exist for small, detachable parts.
• Improper use could result in loud sounds, possibly causing hearing injury.
• Improperly handled batteries could overheat and cause a burn.
Supervise access for older children. Similar to a computer, if an older child does use
your mobile device, you may want to monitor their access to help prevent:
• Exposure to inappropriate apps or content.
• Improper use of apps or content.
• Loss of data.
