Emergency Calls
You should not rely on wireless devices for essential communications, such as
medical emergencies. Use of JCB Toughphone to call emergency services may not work in all
locations or all operating conditions. Emergency numbers and services vary by region, and sometimes
an emergency call cannot be placed due to network availability or environmental interference. Some
cellular networks may not accept an emergency call from JCB Toughphone if it does not have a SIM, if
the SIM is PIN-locked, or if you have not activated your JCB Toughphone.
Driving and Riding Safely
Use of JCB Toughphone alone or with headphones (even if used only in
one ear) while driving a vehicle or riding a bicycle is not recommended and is illegal in some areas.
Check and obey the laws and regulations on the use of mobile devices like JCB Toughphone in the
areas where you drive or ride. Be careful and attentive while driving or riding a bicycle. If you decide to
use JCB Toughphone while driving, keep in mind the following guidelines:
Give full attention to driving or riding and to the road.
Using a mobile device while driving
or riding may be distracting. If you find it disruptive or distracting while operating any type of
vehicle, riding a bicycle, or performing any activity that requires your full attention, pull off the
road and park before making or answering a call.
Get to know JCB Toughphone and its features such as Voice Control, Favourites,
Recent, and Speaker
. These features help you to place your call without taking your attention
off the road. See the
JCB Toughphone User Guide
for more information.
Use a hands-free device.
Take advantage of one of the many compatible hands-free
accessories available for use with JCB Toughphone. Use of a hands-free device may be
required in some areas.
Position JCB Toughphone within easy reach.
Keep your eyes on the road. If you get an
incoming call at an inconvenient time, let your voicemail answer it for you.
Try to plan calls when your car will be stationary.
Assess the traffic before dialing, or place
calls when you are not moving or before pulling into traffic.
Let the person you are speaking with know you are driving.
If necessary, suspend the call
in heavy traffic or hazardous weather conditions. Driving in rain, sleet, snow, ice, fog, and even
heavy traffic can be hazardous.
Do not text, email, take notes, look up phone numbers, or perform any other activities
that require your attention while driving.
Composing or reading texts and emails, jotting
down a to-do list, or flipping through your address book takes attention away from your primary
responsibility, driving safely.
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.
