Maintaining Safe Use of
and Access to Your Phone
Failure to follow the instructions outlined may lead to serious
personal injury and possible property damage.
Using Your Phone While Driving
Talking on your phone while driving (or operating the phone
without a hands-free phone) is prohibited in some
jurisdictions. Laws vary as to specific restrictions.
Remember that safety always comes first.
When using your phone in the car:
• Get to know your phone and its features, such as speed
dial and re-dial.
• When available, use a hands-free phone.
• Position your phone within easy reach.
• Let the person you are speaking to know you are driving;
if necessary, suspend the call in heavy traffic or
hazardous weather conditions.
• Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while
driving.
• Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place
calls when stationary or before pulling into traffic.
• Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations
that may divert your attention from the road.
• Dial 911 to report serious emergencies. It’s free from
your wireless phone.
• Use your phone to help others in emergencies.
• Call roadside assistance or a special non-emergency
wireless number when necessary.
Excessive exposure to sound at high volumes can
cause hearing damage. Always turn the volume
down before plugging the headphones into an audio
source and use only the minimum volume setting
necessary to hear your conversation or music.
