Wireless Phone Safety Tips
“Safety is your most important call!”
Your Motorola wireless telephone gives you the powerful ability to
communicate by voice - almost anywhere, anytime, wherever wireless
phone service is available and safe conditions allow. But an important
responsibility accompanies the benefits of wireless phones, one that
every user must uphold.
When driving a car, driving is your first responsibility. If you find it
necessary to use your wireless phone while behind the wheel of a car,
practice good common sense and remember the following tips:
1. Get to know your Motorola wireless phone and its features such as
speed dial and redial. If available, these features help you to place
your call without taking your attention off the road.
2. When available, use a hands-free device. If possible, add an additional
layer of convenience to your wireless phone with one of the many
Motorola Original hands-free accessories available today.
3. Position your wireless phone within easy reach. Be able to access your
wireless phone without removing your eyes from the road. If you
receive an incoming call at an inconvenient time, if possible, let your
voice mail answer it for you.
4. 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.
5. If you receive an incoming call at an inconvenient time 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.
6. Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls when you are
not moving or before pulling into traffic. Try to plan calls when your
car will be stationary. If you need to make a call while moving, dial
only a few numbers, check the road and your mirrors, then continue.
7. 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 which have the potential to divert your
attention away from the road.
8. Use your wireless phone to call for help. Dial 9-1-1 or other local
emergency number in the case of fire, traffic accident or medical
emergencies.

9. Use your wireless phone to help others in emergencies. If you see an
auto accident, crime in progress or other serious emergency where
lives are in danger, call 9-1-1 or other local emergency number, as you
would want others to do for you.

10. 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.

Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless telephones and
their accessories in the areas where you drive. Always obey them. The use
of these devices may be prohibited or restricted in certain areas.
