Your mobile device lets you communicate by voice and data—
almost anywhere, anytime, wherever wireless service is available
and safe conditions allow. When driving a car, driving is your first
responsibility. If you choose to use your mobile device while
driving, remember the following tips:
Get to know your Motorola mobile device and its features such as
speed dial and redial. If available, these features help you to
place your call without taking your attention off the road.
When available, use a handsfree device. If possible, add an
additional layer of convenience to your mobile device with
one of the many Motorola Original™ handsfree accessories
available today.
Position your mobile device within easy reach. Be able to access
your mobile device without removing your eyes from the
road. If you receive an incoming call at an inconvenient time,
if possible, let your voicemail answer it for you.
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.
Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving.
Jotting down a “to do” list or going through your address
book takes attention away from your primary
responsibility—driving safely.
Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls when
your car is not moving or before pulling into traffic. If you must
make a call while moving, dial only a few numbers, check the
road and your mirrors, then continue.
