Get to know your Motorola mobile device and its
features such as speed dial, redial and voice dial. If
available, these features help you to place your call
without taking your attention off the road.
●
When available, use a handsfree device. If possible,
add an additional layer of convenience to your
mobile device with one of the many Motorola Original
handsfree accessories available today.
●
Position your mobile device within easy reach. 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 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
●
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.
●
Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place
calls when your car is not moving or before pulling into
traffic. If you must make a call while moving, dial only
a few numbers, check the road and your mirrors, then
continue.
●
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
that can divert your attention away from the road.
●
Use your mobile device to call for help. Dial 911 or
other local emergency number in the case of fire, traffic
accident, or medical emergencies (wherever wireless
phone service is available).
●
Use your mobile device to help others in emergencies.
If you see an auto accident, crime in progress, or other
serious emergency where lives are in danger, call 911
or other local emergency number (wherever wireless
phone service is available), as you would want others
to do for you.
●
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 (wherever wireless phone
service is available).
