Driving
Check state laws and regulations on the use of mobile phones in the area where you drive. If you are going to use
your phone while driving, please:
• Give full attention to driving.
• Laws in many locations require vehicle handsfree solutions – this car kit qualies as a vehicle handsfree solution.
• Before using the suction cup mount on your windshield, check the state and local laws and ordinances where
you drive. Some state laws prohibit drivers from using suction mounts on their windshields while operating
motor vehicles. Other state laws allow the suction mount to be located only in specic locations on the
windshield. Many other states have enacted restrictions against placing “non-transparent material” on the
windshield or placing objects on the windshield in locations that obstruct the driver’s vision.
• Pull o the road and park before making or answering a call.
• RF energy may aect some electronic systems in motor vehicles such as car stereo, safety equipment etc.
In addition, some state or local governments do not allow use of mobile phones in vehicles, unless the
installation is supported by a handsfree kit with an external antenna. Check with your vehicle manufacturer’s
representative to be sure that your car kit will not aect the electronic systems in your vehicle.
