Check the laws and r eg u lations on the u se of mobile devices and thei r
accesso r ies in the a r eas whe r e yo u d r ive. Always obey them. The u se of
these devices may be p r ohibited o r r est r icted in ce r tain a r eas — fo r
example, hands-f r ee u se only. Go to www.moto r ola.com/callsma r t

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 yo ur Moto r ola mobile device and its feat ur es s u ch as speed
dial and r edial. If available, these features help you to place your call without
taking your attention off the road.
• When available, u se a hands-f r ee device. If possible, add
an additional layer of convenience to your mobile device with
one of the many Motorola Original hands-free accessories
available today.
• Position yo ur mobile device within easy r each. 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 pe r son yo u a r e speaking to know yo u a r e d r iving; if necessa r y,
s u spend the call in heavy t r affic o r haza r do u s weathe r conditions. Rain,
sleet, snow, ice and even heavy traffic can be hazardous.
• Do not take notes o r look u p phone n u mbe r s while d r iving. 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 t r affic; if possible, place calls when yo ur
ca r is not moving o r befo r e p u lling into t r affic. If you must make a call while
moving, dial only a few numbers, check the road and your mirrors, then continue.
