Safety Guidelines
Driving Safely
Before you use your pdQ smartphone while driving, check the local laws and
regulations on the use of portable wireless phones in vehicles. Always obey
them, and exercise caution while driving.
The Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA) supplies the
following guidelines.
1.
Get to know your wireless phone and its features. These features help you
to place your call without taking your attention off the road. For example,
familiarize yourself with Speed Dial and other quick ways to place a call.
2.
Position your wireless phone within easy reach. Be able to access your
wireless phone without removing your eyes from the road. If you get an
incoming call at an inconvenient time, let your voice mail answer it for
you.
3.
Let the person with whom you are speaking know you are driving. If
necessary, suspend the call in heavy traffic or hazardous weather
conditions.
4.
Do not utilize any of the Palm applications while driving. They take
attention away from your primary responsibility—driving safely.
5.
Dial sensibly. If you need to make a call while moving, dial only a few
numbers, check the road and your mirrors, then continue. If possible,
place calls when you are not moving or before pulling into traffic.
6.
Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations. Make people with
whom you are talking aware that you are driving. Suspend conversations
that have the potential to divert your attention from the road.
7.
Use your wireless phone to call for help. Dial 9-1-1 or other local
emergency number in the case of fire, traffic accident, or medical
emergencies. Remember, it is a free call on your wireless phone!
8.
Use your wireless phone to help others in emergencies. If you see an auto
accident, crime in progress, or other serious emergency where lives are in
danger, call 9-1-1 or other local emergency number, as you would want
others to do for you.
