ability to hear other sounds. Use of such a headset while operating a motor vehicle or riding
a bicycle may create a serious hazard to you and/or others, and may be illegal. If you must
use a stereo headset while driving, place a speaker in only one ear. Leave the other ear free
to hear outside noises, and do so only if it is legal and you can do so safely.
3 Make sure you place your smartphone within easy reach and where you can grab it without
removing your eyes from the road. If you get an incoming call at an inconvenient time, let
your voicemail answer it for you.
4 Suspend conversations during hazardous driving conditions or situations. Let the person you
are speaking to know you are driving; if necessary, suspend the call in heavy traffic or
hazardous weather conditions. Rain, sleet, snow, and ice can be hazardous, but so is heavy
traffic. As a driver, your first responsibility is to pay attention to the road.
5 Do not take notes, look up phone numbers, read/write email, or surf the Internet while
driving. If you are reading an address book or business card while driving a car, or writing a
to-do list, then you are not watching where you are going. It's common sense. Do not get
caught in a dangerous situation because you are reading or writing and not paying attention
to the road or nearby vehicles.
6 Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls when you are not moving or before
pulling into traffic. Try to plan your calls before you begin your trip, or attempt to schedule
your calls with times you may be temporarily stopped or otherwise stationary. But if you
need to dial while driving, follow this simple tip: dial only a few numbers, check the road and
your mirrors, then continue.
7 Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may be distracting. Stressful or
emotional conversations and driving do not mix—they are distracting and even dangerous
when you are behind the wheel. Make people you are talking with aware you are driving and
if necessary, suspend phone conversations which have the potential to divert your attention
from the road.
8 Use your smartphone to call for help. Your smartphone is one of the greatest tools you can
own to protect yourself and your family in dangerous situations-with your smartphone at
your side, help is only three numbers away. Dial your national emergency number in the case
of fire, traffic accident, road hazard, or medical emergencies. Remember, your national
emergency number is a free call on your smartphone.
9 Use your smartphone to help others in emergencies. If you see an auto accident, crime in
progress, or other serious emergency where lives are in danger, call your national emergency
number, as you would want others to do for you.
10 Call roadside assistance or a special wireless non-emergency assistance number when
necessary. Certain situations you encounter while driving may require attention, but are not
urgent enough to merit a call to your national emergency number. But you can still use your
smartphone to lend a hand. 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 other special non-emergency wireless number.
General Operation
Prolonged Views of Screen: If you are driving, do not access any function requiring a
prolonged view of the screen. Pull over in a safe and legal manner before attempting to access a
function of the system requiring prolonged attention. Even occasional short scans to the screen
may be hazardous if your attention has been diverted away from your driving task at a critical
time.
Volume Setting: Do not raise the volume excessively. Keep the volume at a level where you
can still hear outside traffic and emergency signals while driving. Driving while unable to hear
these sounds could cause an accident.
Let Your Judgment Prevail: The Device Software is only an aid. Make your driving decisions
based on your observations of local conditions and existing traffic regulations. The Device
Software is not a substitute for your personal judgment.

ESD Safety
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause damage to electronic devices if discharged into the
device, so you should take steps to avoid such an occurrence. Do not touch the SIM card’s
metal connectors.
Description of ESD
Static electricity is an electrical charge caused by the buildup of excess electrons on the surface
of a material. To most people, static electricity and ESD are nothing more than annoyances. For
example, after walking over a carpet while scuffing your feet, building up electrons on your
body, you may get a shock—the discharge event—when you touch a metal doorknob. This little
shock discharges the built-up static electricity.
ESD-susceptible equipment
Even a small amount of ESD can harm circuitry, so when working with electronic devices, take
measures to help protect your electronic devices, including your Palm smartphones, from ESD
harm. While Palm has built protections against ESD into its products, ESD unfortunately exists
and, unless neutralized, could build up to levels that could harm your equipment. Any electronic
device that contains an external entry point for plugging in anything from cables to docking
stations is susceptible to entry of ESD. Devices that you carry with you, such as your device,
build up ESD in a unique way because the static electricity that may have built up on your body
is automatically passed to the device. Then, when the device is connected to another device
such as a docking station, a discharge event can occur.
Precautions against ESD
Make sure to discharge any built-up static electricity from yourself and your electronic devices
before touching an electronic device or connecting one device to another. The
recommendation from Palm is that you take this precaution before connecting your device to
your computer, placing the smartphone in a docking station, or connecting it to any other
device. You can do this in many ways, including the following:
• Ground yourself when you’re holding your mobile device by simultaneously touching a metal
surface that is at earth ground. For example, if your computer has a metal case and is
plugged into a standard three-prong grounded outlet, touching the case should discharge
the ESD on your body.
