Safety in traffic

Do not make any notes or use the device while driving. Creating a “to do” list or flipping

through the address book while driving interferes with safe driving.

In road traffic you must first and foremost concentrate on your own safety and that of the

other road users. Give your full attention to the road. Check the legal regulations on the

use of wireless devices in road traffic in the respective region. Always observe them. If

you use a wireless device while driving, rely on your common sense and adhere to the

following:

1. Familiarise yourself with the wireless device and its functions, such as speed dial and

redial. These functions may prove to be useful if you wish to make a call without

taking your eyes off the road.

2. Use a hands-free telephone, if possible.

3. Inform the person you are speaking with that you are driving. If necessary, end the

call if there is heavy traffic or bad weather. Rain, sleet, snow, ice and even heavy

traffic can be dangerous.

4. Dial numbers carefully and keep an eye on the traffic. Make your calls when you have

stopped the car or before you set off. Plan your calls so that you can make them

when parked. If it is essential to make a call when driving, dial only part of the

number, check the road again and look in the rear mirror and then dial the rest of the

number.

5. Do not engage in stressful and emotional telephone calls which might take your

attention away from the road. Let the other person know that you are driving a car

and do not get involved in any discussions that might divert your attention from the

road.

6. Use your mobile device to call for help if necessary. Dial emergency services (9-1-1

in the USA and 1-1-2 in Europe) or other local emergency service numbers if there is

a fire, an accident or a medical emergency. These calls are free of charge on the

wireless device! The call can be made independently of security codes or networks

and with or without a SIM card.

7. Use your mobile device to call for help for other people in emergency situations. If

you witness a serious accident, crime or other emergency, call the emergency

service (9-1-1 in the USA and 1-1-2 in Europe) or another local emergency service

number. Remember you yourself might need help the next time.

8. Call the breakdown service or a special mobile radio number for support when

problems occur on the road. If you drive past a car with a breakdown which does not

present any serious risk to traffic, a traffic light that is not functioning, a traffic

accident with minor damage and without injured people, or a possibly stolen car,

report it to the road patrol or another special mobile radio number for assistance.
