Smart Practices While Driving

Check the laws and regulations on the use of mobile devices and their
Driving Safety
accessories in the areas where you drive. Always obey them. The use of these
devices may be prohibited or restricted in certain areas—for example,
handsfree use only may be required. Go to www.motorola.com/callsmart
(in English only) for more information.
Your mobile device lets you communicate by voice and data—almost anywhere, anytime,
wherever wireless service is available and safe conditions allow. When driving a car,
driving is your first responsibility. If you choose to use your mobile device while driving,
remember the following tips:
• Get to know your Motorola mobile device and its features such as speed dial,
redial and voice dial. If available, these features help you to place your call without
taking your attention off the road.
• When available, use a handsfree device. If possible, add an additional layer of
convenience to your mobile device with one of the many Motorola Original handsfree
accessories available today.
• Position your mobile device within easy reach. Be able to access your mobile
device without removing your eyes from the road. If you receive an incoming call at an
inconvenient time, if possible, let your voicemail answer it for you.
• 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.
• 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.
• Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls when your car is
not moving or before pulling into traffic. If you must make a call while moving, dial
only a few numbers, check the road and your mirrors, then continue.
• 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 that can divert your attention away from the road.
• Use your mobile device to call for help. Dial 911 or other local emergency number
in the case of fire, traffic accident, or medical emergencies (wherever wireless phone
service is available).

• Use your mobile device to help others in emergencies. If you see an auto
accident, crime in progress, or other serious emergency where lives are in danger, call
911 or other local emergency number (wherever wireless phone service is available),
as you would want others to do for you.
• 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 (wherever wireless phone service is available).
Privacy & Data Security
Privacy & Data Security Motorola understands that privacy and data security are important to everyone. Because
some features of your mobile device may affect your privacy or data security, please
follow these recommendations to enhance protection of your information:
• Monitor access—Keep your mobile device with you and do not leave it where others
may have unmonitored access. Lock your device's keypad where this feature is
available.
• Keep software up to date—If Motorola or a software/application vendor releases a
patch or software fix for your mobile device that updates the device's security, install it
as soon as possible.
• Secure Personal Information—Your mobile device can store personal information
in various locations including your SIM card, memory card, and phone memory. Be sure
to remove or clear all personal information before you recycle, return, or give away
your device. You can also backup your personal data to transfer to a new device.
Note: For information on how to backup or wipe data from your mobile device, go to
www.motorola.com/support
• Online accounts—Some mobile devices provide a Motorola online account (such as
MOTOBLUR). Go to your account for information on how to manage the account, and
how to use security features such as remote wipe and device location (where
available).
• Applications—Install third party applications from trusted sources only. Applications
can have access to private information such as call data, location details and network
resources.
