Driving safely
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 .
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. 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 provinces and 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. Provincial laws and 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 several provinces or states in the
future, SMS messaging by a driver is also a legal violation.
• Position phone within easy reach .
Keep your eyes on the road. If you get an incoming call at an inconvenient time,
let your voice mail answer it for you.
