Driving safety
Check the laws and regulations regarding the use of wireless devices in the areas where you
drive. Always obey them. Also, if using the BlackBerry® device in your car, please use the
following minimum guidelines:
• Give your full attention to driving; driving safely is your first responsibility.
• Use hands-free operation if it is available.
• Pull off the road and park before using your BlackBerry device in any way.
Research In Motion (RIM) recommends that you do not use the BlackBerry device while driving.
Instead, consider having a passenger in the vehicle use the BlackBerry device for you, or find a
safe location to stop your vehicle prior to using the device.
Store the BlackBerry device safely before driving your vehicle. Do not use any charging accessory
as a means of storing the BlackBerry device while you are in a vehicle. If your vehicle is equipped
with an air bag, do not place the BlackBerry device or other objects above the air bag, or in the
air bag deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment is improperly stored or installed, and
the air bag inflates, serious injury could result.
Radio frequency (RF) signals might affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded
electronic systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its representative
regarding your vehicle. If any equipment has been added to your vehicle, you should also consult
the manufacturer of that equipment for information on RF signals.
