Tens of millions of people in the U.S. today take advantage of the unique combination 

of convenience, safety and value delivered by the wireless telephone. Quite simply, 

the wireless phone gives people the powerful ability to communicate by voice--almost 

anywhere, anytime--with the boss, with a client, with the kids, with emergency 

personnel or even with the police. Each year, Americans make billions of calls from 

their wireless phones, and the numbers are rapidly growing.
But an important responsibility accompanies those benefits, one that every wireless 

phone user must uphold. When driving a car, driving is your first responsibility. A 

wireless phone can be an invaluable tool, but good judgment must be exercised at 

all times while driving a motor vehicle--whether on the phone or not.
The basic lessons are ones we all learned as teenagers. Driving requires alertness, 

caution and courtesy. It requires a heavy dose of basic common sense---keep your 

head up, keep your eyes on the road, check your mirrors frequently and watch out 

for other drivers. It requires obeying all traffic signs and signals and staying within 

the speed limit. It means using seatbelts and requiring other passengers to do the same.
But with wireless phone use, driving safely means a little more. This brochure is a 

call to wireless phone users everywhere to make safety their first priority when 

behind the wheel of a car. Wireless telecommunications is keeping us in touch, 

simplifying our lives, protecting us in emergencies and providing opportunities to 

help others in need. 
When it comes to the use of wireless phones, safety is your most important call.   

 

Below are safety tips to follow while driving and using a wireless phone which 

should be easy to remember. 
1 Get to know your wireless phone and its features such as speed dial and redial. 

Carefully read your instruction manual and learn to take advantage of valuable 

features most phones offer, including automatic redial and memory. Also, work 

to memorize the phone 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 wireless phone 

accessories are readily available today. Whether you choose an installed mounted 

device for your wireless phone or a speaker phone accessory, take advantage of 

these devices if available to you.

3 Position your wireless phone within easy reach. Make sure you place your 

wireless phone 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, if 

possible, let your voice mail answer it for you.
