Driving Safety Tips Details
1 Get to know your Treo 750 and its features such as speed-dial and
redial. Carefully read your instruction manual and learn to take
advantage of valuable features most Treo 750 models offer
including, automatic redial and memory dial-most Treo 750
models can store up to 99 numbers in memory dial. Also, work to
memorize the Treo 750 keypad so you can use the speed-dial
function without taking your attention off the road.
2 When available, use a hands-free device. A number of hands-free
Treo 750 accessories are readily available today. Whether you
choose an installed mounted device for your Treo 750 or a
speaker phone accessory, take advantage of these devices if
available to you.
3 Position your Treo 750 within easy reach. Make sure you place
your Treo 750 within easy reach and where you can grab it
without removing your eyes from the road. If you get an incoming
call at an inconvenient time, let your voice mail answer it for you.
4 Suspend conversations during hazardous driving conditions or
situations. Let the person you are speaking to know you are
driving; if necessary, suspend the call in heavy traffic or
hazardous weather conditions. Rain, sleet, snow and ice can be
hazardous, but so is heavy traffic. As a driver, your first
responsibility is to pay attention to the road.
5 Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving. If you
are reading an address book or business card while driving a car,
or writing a “to do” list, then you are not watching where you are
going. It’s common sense. Don’t get caught in a dangerous
situation because you are reading or writing and not paying
attention to the road or nearby vehicles.
6 Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls when
you are not moving or before pulling into traffic. Try to plan your
calls before you begin your trip, or attempt to coincide your calls
with times you may be stopped at a stop sign, red light or
otherwise stationary. But if you need to dial while driving, follow
this simple tip-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. Stressful or emotional conversations and driving
do not mix-they are distracting and even dangerous when you are
behind the wheel. Make people you are talking with aware you
are driving and if necessary, suspend phone conversations which
have the potential to divert your attention from the road.
8 Use your Treo 750 to call for help. Your Treo 750 is one of the
greatest tools you can own to protect yourself and your family in
dangerous situations-with your Treo 750 at your side, help is only
three numbers away. Dial 9-1-1 in the case of fire, traffic accident,
road hazard, or medical emergencies. Remember, 9-1-1is a free
call on your Treo 750!
