Read the literature on the safe operation of your unit.
Keep both hands on the steering wheel and the handset in its cradle whenever
•
the vehicle is in motion.
Place calls only when vehicle is stopped. Use on-hook dialing and recall
•
dialing to speed the time it takes to call.
When talking from a moving vehicle is unavoidable, drive in the slower lane.
•
Keep conversation brief.
If conversation requires taking notes or complex thought, stop the vehicle
•
in a safe place and continue your call.
Whenever you use a mobile radio you should exercise caution.

*As recommended by the AAA
Two-way FM radio systems must be operated in accordance with the rules and
regulations of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). As an operator of
two-way radio equipment, you must be thoroughly familiar with the rules that apply
to your particular type of radio operation. Following these rules will help to eliminate
confusion, assure the most efficient use of existing radio channels, and result in a
smoothly functioning radio network.
