Wireless Phone Safety 
Tips
“Safety is your most important call!”
Your Motorola wireless telephone gives you
the powerful ability to communicate by voice—
almost anywhere, anytime, wherever wireless
phone service is available and safe conditions allow. 
But an important responsibility accompanies the 
benefits of wireless phones, one that every user 
must uphold. 
When driving a car, driving is your first
responsibility. If you find it necessary to use your 
wireless phone while behind the wheel of a car, 
practice good common sense and remember the 
following tips:
1 Get to know your Motorola wireless phone 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.
2 When available, use a hands-free device. If possible, 
add an additional layer of convenience to your wireless

3 Position your wireless phone within easy reach. Be 
able to access your wireless phone without removing 
your eyes from the road. If you receive an incoming call 
at an inconvenient time, if possible, let your voice mail 
answer it for you.
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 If you receive an incoming call at an inconvenient 
time 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.
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 people 
you are talking with aware you are driving and suspend 
conversations which have the potential to divert your 
attention away from the road.
8 Use your wireless phone to call for help. Dial 9-1-1 or 
other local emergency number in the case of fire, traffic 
accident or medical emergencies.*

161 9 Use your wireless phone to help others in 
emergencies.
 If you see an auto accident, crime in 
progress or other serious emergency where lives are in 
danger, call 9-1-1 or other local 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 other 
special non-emergency wireless number.*
* Wherever wireless phone service is available.

162Check the laws and regulations on the use of 
wireless telephones and their accessories in the 
areas where you drive. Always obey them. The 
use of these devices may be prohibited or 
restricted in certain areas.
