Safety precautions
127
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.
Use your device to help others in emergencies. If you see an auto accident,
•
a crime in progress, or a serious emergency where lives are in danger, call a
local emergency number.
Call roadside assistance or a special, non-emergency 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 another
special, non-emergency number.
Proper care and use of your mobile device
Keep your device dry
Humidity and all types of liquids may damage device parts or electronic
•
circuits.
Do not turn on your device if it is wet. If your device is already on, turn it off
•
and remove the battery immediately (if the device will not turn off or you
cannot remove the battery, leave it as-is). Then, dry the device with a towel
and take it to a service centre.
Liquids will change the colour of the label that indicates water damage
•
inside the device. Water damage to your device can void your manufacturer’s
warranty.
