Your Siemens wireless phone gives 

you the power to communicate by 

voice — almost anywhere, anytime. 

But an important responsibility ac-

companies the benefits of wireless 

phones, one that every user must 

uphold.
When driving a car, driving is your 

first responsibility. 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 man-

ual and learn to take advantage of 

valuable features most phones offer 

including, automatic 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 attention off the road.

When available, use a hands-free device.
A number of hands-free wireless 

phone accessories  are readily availa-

ble today. Whether you choose an 

installed mounted 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 answer it for 

you.
Suspend conversations during hazard-

ous 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 hazard-

ous, but so is heavy traffic. As a driv-

er, your first responsibility is to pay 

attention to the road.
Do not take notes or look up phone num-

bers 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 at-

tention to the road or nearby vehi-

cles.
