Warning!
Use of this unit alone or with headphones (even if used only
in one ear) while driving a motor vehicle or riding a bicycle is
dangerous and is illegal in some areas, and the user should
not engage in such conduct. Driving while operating a mobile
phone is distracting and could cause serious injury or death.
Use of this unit alone or with headphones (even if used only in one ear) while driving
a motor 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 this unit
in the areas where you drive. Be careful and attentive while driving. If you decide to
use this unit while driving or riding a bicycle, keep in mind the following guidelines:
Give full attention to driving and to the road.
Using a mobile device while driving may be distracting. If you nd 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 if driving conditions require.
Get to know your phone and its features such as phone book, call memory,
and speakerphone.
These features help you to place your call without taking your attention off the
road. See the applicable portion of this user’s guide for more information.
Use a hands-free device.
Add an extra layer of convenience and safety to your unit with one of the many
hands-free accessories available.
Use of a headset or other hands-free device may be legally required.
Several states have in recent years passed laws making it unlawful to operate
a motor vehicle while talking on a wireless phone without use of a headset,
speakerphone, or other hands-free device. County and municipal ordinances
may also limit or ban wireless conversations for automobile drivers. You should
therefore check the status of such laws in your area and in locations to which you
travel by car, whether or not you otherwise follow the preferred safety practice of
routinely using a hands-free device.
For SMS text messaging, it is a recommended safety practice that you never send
or view received text messages while driving; in California, and likely other states
in the future, SMS messaging by a driver is also a legal violation.
