Your Siemens wireless phone gives you 

the power to communicate by voice – al-

most anywhere, anytime. But an impor-

tant responsibility accompanies the bene-

fits 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 

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.

b

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.

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 

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 

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 

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.
