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. Using a mobile device or accessory may be prohibited or restricted 
in certain areas, always obey the laws and regulations on the use of these products.

While driving, NEVER:

Type or read texts.

Enter or review 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 hands-free 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" in this guide and at 
www.motorola.com/callsmart (in English only).

Seizures/blackouts

Some people may be susceptible to epileptic seizures or blackouts when exposed to 
flashing lights, such as when playing videos or games. These may occur even if a person 
has never had a previous seizure or blackout.
If you have experienced seizures or blackouts, or if you have a family history of such 
occurrences, please consult your doctor before playing videos or games or enabling a 
flashing-lights feature (if available) on your mobile device.
Discontinue use and consult a doctor if any of the following symptoms occur: convulsion, 
eye or muscle twitching, loss of awareness, involuntary movements or disorientation. It is 
always a good idea to hold the screen away from your eyes, leave the lights on in the 
room, take a 15-minute break every hour and stop use if you are tired.

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 get 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 doctor.

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.

Similar to a computer, if a child does use your mobile device, you may want to monitor 
their access to help prevent exposure to inappropriate apps or content.

Glass parts

Some parts of your mobile device may be made of glass. This glass could break if the 
product receives a substantial impact. If glass breaks, do not touch or attempt to remove. 
Stop using your mobile device until the glass is replaced by a qualified service centre.
