Health and Safety Information 80
5.
Do not take notes or look up phone numbers
while driving. Jotting down a "to do" list or
flipping through your address book takes
attention away from your primary
responsibility, driving safely.
6.
Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible,
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 while moving, 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. Make
people you are talking with aware you are
driving and suspend conversations that have
the potential to divert your attention from the
road.
8.
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.
9.
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.
10.
Call roadside assistance or a special non-
emergency wireless 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 other
special non-emergency number.
"The wireless industry reminds you to use your phone
safely when driving."

to loud sounds over time. The risk of hearing loss
increases as sound is played louder and for longer
durations.
