Ten Driving Safety Tips
Your BenQ wireless phone gives you the 
power to communicate by voice – almost 
anywhere, anytime. But an important re-
sponsibility accompanies the benefits of 
wireless phones, one that every user 
must uphold.
When driving a car, driving is your first re-
sponsibility. When using your wireless 
phone behind the wheel of a car, practice 
good common sense and remember the 
following tips:
Get to know your 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, au-
tomatic redial and memory dial – most 
phones can store up to 99 numbers in 
memory dial. Also, work to memorize the 
phone keypad so you can use the speed 
dial function without taking your atten-
tion off the road.
When available, use a hands-free device.
A number of hands-free wireless phone 
accessories are readily available today. 
Whether you choose an installed mount-
ed device for your phone or a speaker 
phone accessory, take advantage of these 
devices if they are available to you.
Position your 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, let your voicemail an-
swer it for you.
Suspend conversations during hazardous driv-
ing 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 at-
tention to the road.
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 writ-
ing a “to do” list, then you are not watch-
ing where you are going. It’s common 
sense. Don’t get caught in a dangerous 
situation because you are reading or writ-
ing and not paying attention to the road 
or nearby vehicles.
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 sim-
ple tip – dial only a few numbers, check 
the road and your mirrors, then continue.
Do not engage in stressful or emotional conver-
sations that may be distracting.
Stressful or emotional conversations and 
driving do not mix – they are distracting 
and even dangerous when you are be-
hind the wheel. Make people you are talk-
ing with aware you are driving and if nec-
essary, suspend phone conversations that 
have the potential to divert your attention 
from the road.
Use your phone to call for help.
Your wireless phone is one of the greatest 
tools you can own to protect yourself and 
your family in dangerous situations – 
with your phone at your side, help is only 
three numbers away. Dial 9-1-1 in the 
case of fire, traffic accident, road hazard, 
or medical emergency. Remember, it is a 
free call on your wireless phone.
