Ten Driving

Safety Tips

Your Siemens wireless phone gives

you the power to communicate by

voice – almost anywhere, anytime.

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. 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 avail-

able 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

hazardous 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

driver, your first responsibility is to

pay attention 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

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

attention to the road or nearby

vehicles.
