Safety precautions
112
Get to know your device and its convenience features, such as speed
•
dial and redial. These features help you reduce the time needed to
place or receive calls on your mobile device.
Position your device within easy reach. Be able to access your wireless
•
device without removing your eyes from the road. If you receive an
incoming call at an inconvenient time, let your voice mail answer it
for you.
Let the person you are speaking with know you are driving. Suspend
•
calls in heavy traffic or hazardous weather conditions. Rain, sleet, snow,
ice, and heavy traffic can be hazardous.
Do not take notes or look up phone numbers. Jotting down a “to do”
•
list or flipping through your address book takes attention away from
your primary responsibility of driving safely.
Dial sensibly and assess the traffic. 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, 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 have the potential to divert your
attention from the road.
Use your device to call for help. Dial a local emergency number in the
•
case of fire, traffic accident, or medical emergencies.
Do not use your device at refuelling points (service stations), near fuels
•
or chemicals, and at blasting areas.
Do not store or carry flammable liquids, gases, or explosive materials in
•
the same compartment as the device, its parts, or accessories.
Turn off your device when in an aircraft
Using your device in an aircraft is illegal. Your device may interfere with
the electronic navigation instruments of the aircraft.
Electronic devices in a motor vehicle may malfunction due
to the radio frequency of your device

your device. Contact the manufacturer for more information.
