4. Let the person you are speaking with know
you are driving; if necessary, suspend the call
in heavy traffic or hazardous weather
conditions. Rain, sleet, snow, ice and even
heavy traffic can be hazardous.
5. Do not take notes or look up phone numbers
while driving. Jotting down a To Do list or
flipping through your phonebook takes your
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
the people with whom you are talking aware
that 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
the emergency number in the case of fire,
traffic accident or medical emergencies.
Remember, it is a free call on your wireless
phone!
9. Use your wireless phone to help others in
emergencies. If you see a car accident, crime
in progress or other serious emergency where
lives are in danger, call the 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 any other
special non-emergency wireless number.
Operating Environment
Remember to follow any special regulations in force
in any area and always switch off your phone
whenever it is forbidden to use it, or when it may
cause interference or danger.
When connecting the phone or any accessory to
another device, read its user’s guide for detailed
safety instructions. Do not connect incompatible
products.
As with other mobile radio transmitting equipment,
users are advised that for the satisfactory operation
of the equipment and for the safety of personnel, it
is recommended that the equipment should only be
used in the normal operating position (held to your
ear with the antenna pointing over your shoulder).
Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from
radio frequency (RF) signals. However, certain
electronic equipment may not be shielded against
the RF signals from your wireless phone. Consult
the manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
