Maintaining Safe Use of and Access to Your Phone
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS OUTLINED MAY LEAD TO SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY AND
POSSIBLE PROPERTY DAMAGE
Using Your Phone While Driving
Talking on your phone while driving (or operating the phone without a hands-free device) is prohibited in some
jurisdictions. Laws vary as to specific restrictions. Remember that safety always comes first.
When using your phone in the car:
Get to know your phone and its features, such as speed dial and redial.
When available, use a hands-free device.
Position your phone within easy reach.
Let the person you are speaking to know you are driving; if necessary, suspend the call in heavy traffic or
hazardous weather conditions.
Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving.
Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls when stationary or before pulling into traffic.
Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may divert your attention from the road.
Dial 911 to report serious emergencies. It’s free from your wireless phone.
Use your phone to help others in emergencies.
Call roadside assistance or a special non-emergency wireless number when necessary.
Following Safety Guidelines
To operate your phone safely and efficiently, always follow any special regulations in a given area. Turn your
phone off in areas where use is forbidden or when it may cause interference or danger.
Using Your Phone Near Other Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radio frequency (RF) signals. However, RF signals from
wireless phones may affect inadequately shielded electronic equipment.
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic operating systems and/or
entertainment systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or their representative to determine if
these systems are adequately shielded from external RF signals. Also check with the manufacturer regarding any
equipment that has been added to your vehicle.
