Tips
• Try to record in an area where there is little or no
background noise.
• Try to record your voice with the same equipment
that you normally use with your phone. For example,
if you normally have your phone connected to a car
handsfree device when using voice commands,
record your voice commands when your phone is in
a car handsfree device.
• If you plan to use voice functions handheld mode,
hold the phone up to the ear in the position that
would normally be used on a call.
• Begin speaking after the tone ends.
• Keep in mind that longer voice tags provide a higher
recognition rate.
• Shorter tags may cause a lower recognition rate.
For example, the name “Rob” can easily be
confused with “Bob”.
• Create unique tags. Name tags with the same first
names can be confused. For example, John Doe and
John Jones may not be distinguishable.
• Record your voice using the same tone and
inflection as you would when normally speaking. Try
54
Using Voice Control
not to over-pronounce or speak too slowly when
recording.
• At anytime during voice recognition, you can
say “cancel” to stop recognition.
• Say “help” at anytime (except during Voice
Answering) to see and hear online help.
Magic Word
You can use the Magic Word voice command to allow
totally handsfree access to voice control. Instead of
pressing and holding the side volume keys or the
handsfree button, you say the Magic Word and then
one of your recorded voice commands. The Magic
Word is especially suitable when driving a car with a car
handsfree kit installed, because you use external power
instead of the battery power of your phone. You can
also use the Magic Word when the phone is connected
to a portable handsfree (the standby time will be
reduced). The default Magic Word is “Wake Up”. You
T606UG-R1.book Page 55 Monday, December 30, 2002 11:57 AM
Draft for Sony Ericsson -- Preliminary Copy
can keep this as the Magic Word or record another. See
“Training Commands” on page 52.
Note: Due to the nature of each individual’s speech patterns
and the process your phone uses to generate or match a
Magic Word, it is possible for false matches to occur
via other sources of speech such as your car radio. This
can result in unintended call placement. To avoid this
problem, you may try using alternate Magic Words or
deactivate this feature.
Training a New Magic Word
1 Scroll to Settings, Select, Voice Control , Select,
Magic Word, Select.
2 Press Train.
Note: You can train any word to be your Magic Word, but
the submenu name will always be Wake Up.

TTY Device Compatibility
Note: TTY (teletypewriter) is an evolving technology in
mobile communications. Sony Ericsson is pleased to
offer some of the latest advances in this technology,
bringing the hearing-impaired community closer to full
communication mobility. At this time, the complexity
of mobile communication technology, combined with
emerging changes in emergency response centers and
TTY equipment, means that the TTY feature may
not work in all circumstances. Sony Ericsson is
committed to continuing to work with all the members
of the communications industry to improve mobile
TTY systems for greater reliability and ease of use.
You can use your TTY terminal with your Sony
Ericsson mobile phone. Once you have connected your
device, you simply have to turn on the TTY setting and
begin using your device.
• Scroll to Settings, Select, Turn On/Off TTY, Select
TTY, Select.
When TTY is turned on, your phone will work with a
recommended TTY device. To verify that your phone
is in TTY Mode, insert the TTY cable into the 2.5 mm
headset jack. A TTY Accessory message appears, then
the TTY icon will show on the display. You can now
accept and send TTY calls.
To Switch to Handheld Operation
When you want to switch back to handheld phone
operation, unplug the 2.5 mm adapter from your
mobile phone. You can then use your phone normally.
However, if you want to use a portable handsfree
device, you should turn the TTY setting off.
Optimum Use
TTY communications can be conducted from moving
vehicles, however, it may be dangerous to operate a

vehicle and communicate on your mobile phone at the
same time. You may experience a higher character error
rate of the TTY conversation while in motion. For the
highest quality communications, it is best to remain
stationary.
The TTY feature works in most signal strength areas
provided that a recommended TTY device is used
together with a TTY accessory. You may experience a
higher character error rate in low signal coverage areas.
You may be able to move the cellular handset to get a
better signal to reduce the character errors.

Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use
Please read this information before using your mobile
phone.
Recommendations
• Always treat your product with care and keep it in a
clean and dust-free place.
• Do not expose your product to liquid or moisture or
humidity.
• Do not expose your product to extreme high or low
temperatures.
• Do not expose your product to open flames or lit
tobacco products.
• Do not drop, throw, or try to bend your product.
• Do not paint your product.
• Do not use your product near medical equipment
without requesting permission.
• Do not use your product when in, or around aircraft,
or areas posted “turn off two-way radio”.
• Do not use your product in an area where a
potentially explosive atmosphere exists.
• Do not place your product or install wireless
equipment in the area above your car’s air bag.
• Do not attempt to disassemble your product. Only
Sony Ericsson authorized personnel should perform
service.
• If your mobile phone is equipped with infrared,
never direct the infrared ray at anyone's eye and
make sure that it does not disturb any other infrared
units.
Antenna
Your phone is equipped with an internal antenna. Only
use an antenna that has been specifically designed by
Sony Ericsson for your mobile phone. Use of
unauthorized or modified antennas could damage your
mobile phone and may violate regulations, causing loss
of performance and SAR levels above the
recommended limits (see below).
Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use
75
T606UG-R1.book Page 76 Monday, December 30, 2002 11:57 AM
Draft for Sony Ericsson -- Preliminary Copy
Efficient Use
• Hold your mobile phone as you would any other
phone. Do not cover the top of the phone when in
use, as this affects call quality and may cause the
phone to operate at a higher power level than needed,
thus shortening talk and standby times.If your mobile
phone is equipped with an retractable antenna, Sony
Ericsson recommends that the antenna should be
kept fully retracted (closed) while the phone is in use
and worn on the body to avoid the antenna
touching, or coming in close proximity to, the body.
Do not use the mobile phone with the front and/or
back cover removed from the unit.
Radio Frequency (RF)
Exposure and SAR
Your mobile phone is a low-power radio transmitter
and receiver. When it is turned on, it emits low levels of
radio frequency energy (also known as radio waves or
radio frequency fields).
Governments around the world have adopted
comprehensive international safety guidelines,
76
Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use
developed by scientific organizations, e.g. ICNIRP
(International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation
Protection) and IEEE (The Institute of Electrical and
Electronics Engineers Inc.), through periodic and
thorough evaluation of scientific studies. These
guidelines establish permitted levels of radio wave
exposure for the general population. The levels include
a safety margin designed to assure the safety of all
persons, regardless of age and health, and to account
for any variations in measurements.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is the unit of
measurement for the amount of radio frequency energy
absorbed by the body when using a mobile phone. The
SAR value is determined at the highest certified power
level in laboratory conditions, but the actual SAR level
of the mobile phone while operating can be well below
this value. This is because the mobile phone is designed
to use the minimum power required to reach the
network. Therefore, the closer you are to a base station,
T606UG-R1.book Page 77 Monday, December 30, 2002 11:57 AM
Draft for Sony Ericsson -- Preliminary Copy
the more likely it is that the actual SAR level will
decrease.
minimum of 1.5 cm from your body and that you are
not using an accessory that contains any metal.
Variations in SAR below the radio frequency exposure
guidelines do not mean that there are variations in
safety. While there may be differences in SAR levels
among mobile phones, all Sony Ericsson mobile phone
models are designed to meet radio frequency exposure
guidelines.
A separate leaflet with SAR information for this mobile
phone model is included with the material that comes
with this mobile phone. This information can also be
found, together with more information on radio
frequency exposure and SAR, on
www.SonyEricsson.com.
Accessories can significantly affect a mobile phone’s
compliance with the radio frequency exposure
guidelines. For example, the Federal Communication
Commission in the U.S. requires that some
manufacturers’ accessories shall be tested, and Sony
Ericsson has done so with respect to its products. To
avoid causing loss of performance or radio frequency
exposure levels above the permissible limits it is
recommended that you only use Sony Ericsson or
Ericsson original accessories intended for use with the
mobile phone. If you wear the mobile phone on your
body while it is transmitting, and you do not use a Sony
Ericsson or Ericsson original body worn accessory,
please ensure that the mobile phone is positioned a
Driving
Please check if local laws and regulations restrict the
use of mobile phones while driving or require drivers to
use handsfree solutions. We recommend that you use
Ericsson or Sony Ericsson handsfree solutions
intended for use with your product. Please note that
because of possible interference to electronic
equipment, some vehicle manufacturers forbid the use
of mobile phones in their vehicles unless a handsfree
kit with an external antenna supports the installation.
Always give full attention to driving and pull off the
road and park before making or answering a call if
driving conditions so require.

Personal Medical Devices
Mobile phones may affect the operation of cardiac
pacemakers and other implanted equipment. Please
avoid placing the mobile phone over the pacemaker,
e.g. in your breast pocket. When using the mobile

US Safety Guidelines
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public,
it must be tested and certified to the FCC that it does
not exceed the limit established by the governmentadopted requirement for safe exposure. The tests are
performed in positions and locations (i.e., at the ear
and worn on the body) as required by the FCC for each
model. Body worn measurements are made while the
phone is in use and worn on the body with an Ericsson
or Sony Ericsson accessory supplied with or designated
for use with this phone. The design and composition of
an accessory can affect the body worn Specific
Absorption Rate (SAR) levels for the phone. Sony
Ericsson has not measured, and makes no
representation about, the body worn SAR levels when
the phone is used with non-Ericsson or non-Sony
Ericsson accessories not supplied with or designated
for use with this phone.
Consumer Update
Wireless Phones Supplied by the U.S. Food
and Drug Administration (FDA) - Center for
Devices and Radiological Health
Do wireless phones pose a health
hazard?
The available scientific evidence does not show that
any health problems are associated with using wireless
phones. There is no proof, however, that wireless
phones are absolutely safe. Wireless phones emit low
levels of radiofrequency energy (RF) in the microwave
range while being used. They also emit very low levels
of RF when in the stand-by mode. Whereas high levels
of RF can produce health effects (by heating tissue),
exposure to low level RF that does not produce heating
effects causes no known adverse health effects. Many
studies of low level RF exposures have not found any
biological effects. Some studies have suggested that
US Safety Guidelines
85
T606UG-R1.book Page 86 Monday, December 30, 2002 11:57 AM
Draft for Sony Ericsson -- Preliminary Copy
some biological effects may occur, but such findings
have not been confirmed by additional research. In
some cases, other researchers have had difficulty in
reproducing those studies, or in determining the
reasons for inconsistent results.
What is FDA's role concerning the
safety of wireless phones?
Under the law, FDA does not review the safety of
radiation-emitting consumer products such as wireless
phones before they can be sold, as it does with new
drugs or medical devices. However, the agency has
authority to take action if wireless phones are shown to
emit radiofrequency energy (RF) at a level that is
hazardous to the user. In such a case, FDA could
require the manufacturers of wireless phones to notify
users of the health hazard and to repair, replace or
recall the phones so that the hazard no longer exists.
Although the existing scientific data do not justify FDA
regulatory actions, FDA has urged the wireless phone
industry to take a number of steps, including the
following:
86
US Safety Guidelines
• Support needed research into possible biological
effects of RF of the type emitted by wireless phones;
• Design wireless phones in a way that minimizes any
RF exposure to the user that is not necessary for
device function; and
• Cooperate in providing users of wireless phones
with the best possible information on possible
effects of wireless phone use on human health.
FDA belongs to an interagency working group of the
federal agencies that have responsibility for different
aspects of RF safety to ensure coordinated efforts at
the federal level. The following agencies belong to this
working group:
• National Institute for Occupational Safety and
Health
• Environmental Protection Agency
• Federal Communications Commission
• Occupational Safety and Health Administration
T606UG-R1.book Page 87 Monday, December 30, 2002 11:57 AM
Draft for Sony Ericsson -- Preliminary Copy
• National Telecommunications and Information
Administration
What kinds of phones are the subject
of this update?
The National Institutes of Health participates in some
interagency working group activities, as well.
The term “wireless phone” refers here to hand-held
wireless phones with built-in antennas, often called
“cell,” “mobile,” or “PCS” phones. These types of
wireless phones can expose the user to measurable
radiofrequency energy (RF) because of the short
distance between the phone and the user’s head. These
RF exposures are limited by Federal Communications
Commission safety guidelines that were developed with
the advice of FDA and other federal health and safety
agencies. When the phone is located at greater
distances from the user, the exposure to RF is
drastically lower because a person's RF exposure
decreases rapidly with increasing distance from the
source. The so-called “cordless phones,” which have a
base unit connected to the telephone wiring in a house,
typically operate at far lower power levels, and thus
produce RF exposures far below the FCC safety limits.
FDA shares regulatory responsibilities for wireless
phones with the Federal Communications Commission
(FCC). All phones that are sold in the United States
must comply with FCC safety guidelines that limit RF
exposure. FCC relies on FDA and other health
agencies for safety questions about wireless phones.
FCC also regulates the base stations that the wireless
phone networks rely upon. While these base stations
operate at higher power than do the wireless phones
themselves, the RF exposures that people get from
these base stations are typically thousands of times
lower than those they can get from wireless phones.
Base stations are thus not the subject of the safety
questions discussed in this document.

What are the results of the research
done already?
with certainty what the results of such studies mean for
human health.
The research done thus far has produced conflicting
results, and many studies have suffered from flaws in
their research methods. Animal experiments
investigating the effects of radiofrequency energy (RF)
exposures characteristic of wireless phones have
yielded conflicting results that often cannot be repeated
in other laboratories. A few animal studies, however,
have suggested that low levels of RF could accelerate
the development of cancer in laboratory animals.
However, many of the studies that showed increased
tumor development used animals that had been
genetically engineered or treated with cancer-causing
chemicals so as to be pre-disposed to develop cancer in
the absence of RF exposure. Other studies exposed the
animals to RF for up to 22 hours per day. These
conditions are not similar to the conditions under
which people use wireless phones, so we don’t know
Three large epidemiology studies have been published
since December 2000. Between them, the studies
investigated any possible association between the use
of wireless phones and primary brain cancer, glioma,
meningioma, or acoustic neuroma, tumors of the brain
or salivary gland, leukemia, or other cancers. None of
the studies demonstrated the existence of any harmful
health effects from wireless phone RF exposures.
However, none of the studies can answer questions
about long-term exposures, since the average period of
phone use in these studies was around three years.
88
US Safety Guidelines
What research is needed to decide
whether RF exposure from wireless
phones poses a health risk?
A combination of laboratory studies and
epidemiological studies of people actually using
wireless phones would provide some of the data that
are needed. Lifetime animal exposure studies could be
completed in a few years. However, very large numbers
of animals would be needed to provide reliable proof
T606UG-R1.book Page 89 Monday, December 30, 2002 11:57 AM
Draft for Sony Ericsson -- Preliminary Copy
of a cancer promoting effect if one exists.
Epidemiological studies can provide data that is directly
applicable to human populations, but 10 or more years’
follow-up may be needed to provide answers about
some health effects, such as cancer. This is because the
interval between the time of exposure to a cancercausing agent and the time tumors develop - if they do
- may be many, many years. The interpretation of
epidemiological studies is hampered by difficulties in
measuring actual RF exposure during day-to-day use of
wireless phones. Many factors affect this measurement,
such as the angle at which the phone is held, or which
model of phone is used.
What is FDA doing to find out more
about the possible health effects of
wireless phone RF?
FDA is working with the U.S. National Toxicology
Program and with groups of investigators around the
world to ensure that high priority animal studies are
conducted to address important questions about the
effects of exposure to radiofrequency energy (RF).
FDA has been a leading participant in the World
Health Organization International Electromagnetic
Fields (EMF) Project since its inception in 1996. An
influential result of this work has been the
development of a detailed agenda of research needs
that has driven the establishment of new research
programs around the world. The Project has also
helped develop a series of public information
documents on EMF issues.
FDA and the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet
Association (CTIA) have a formal Cooperative
Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) to
do research on wireless phone safety. FDA provides the
scientific oversight, obtaining input from experts in
government, industry, and academic organizations.
CTIA-funded research is conducted through contracts
to independent investigators. The initial research will
include both laboratory studies and studies of wireless
phone users. The CRADA will also include a broad

assessment of additional research needs in the context
of the latest research developments around the world.
the wireless phone and is set well below levels known
to have effects.
How can I find out how much
radiofrequency energy exposure I can
get by using my wireless phone?
Manufacturers of wireless phones must report the RF
exposure level for each model of phone to the FCC.
The FCC website (http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety)
gives directions for locating the FCC identification
number on your phone so you can find your phone’s
RF exposure level in the online listing.
All phones sold in the United States must comply with
Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
guidelines that limit radiofrequency energy (RF)
exposures. FCC established these guidelines in
consultation with FDA and the other federal health and
safety agencies. The FCC limit for RF exposure from
wireless telephones is set at a Specific Absorption Rate
(SAR) of 1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6 W/kg). The FCC
limit is consistent with the safety standards developed
by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic
Engineering (IEEE) and the National Council on
Radiation Protection and Measurement. The exposure
limit takes into consideration the body’s ability to
remove heat from the tissues that absorb energy from
90
US Safety Guidelines
What has FDA done to measure the
radiofrequency energy coming from
wireless phones ?
The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers
(IEEE) is developing a technical standard for
measuring the radiofrequency energy (RF) exposure
from wireless phones and other wireless handsets with
the participation and leadership of FDA scientists and
engineers. The standard, “Recommended Practice for
Determining the Spatial-Peak Specific Absorption Rate
(SAR) in the Human Body Due to Wireless
Communications Devices: Experimental Techniques,”
sets forth the first consistent test methodology for
measuring the rate at which RF is deposited in the
T606UG-R1.book Page 91 Monday, December 30, 2002 11:57 AM
Draft for Sony Ericsson -- Preliminary Copy
heads of wireless phone users. The test method uses a
tissue-simulating model of the human head.
Standardized SAR test methodology is expected to
greatly improve the consistency of measurements made
at different laboratories on the same phone. SAR is the
measurement of the amount of energy absorbed in
tissue, either by the whole body or a small part of the
body. It is measured in watts/kg (or milliwatts/g) of
matter. This measurement is used to determine
whether a wireless phone complies with safety
guidelines.
What steps can I take to reduce my
exposure to radiofrequency energy
from my wireless phone?
If there is a risk from these products--and at this point
we do not know that there is--it is probably very small.
But if you are concerned about avoiding even potential
risks, you can take a few simple steps to minimize your
exposure to radiofrequency energy (RF). Since time is a
key factor in how much exposure a person receives,
reducing the amount of time spent using a wireless
phone will reduce RF exposure.
• If you must conduct extended conversations by
wireless phone every day, you could place more
distance between your body and the source of the
RF, since the exposure level drops off dramatically
with distance. For example, you could use a headset
and carry the wireless phone away from your body
or use a wireless phone connected to a remote
antenna
Again, the scientific data do not demonstrate that
wireless phones are harmful. But if you are concerned
about the RF exposure from these products, you can
use measures like those described above to reduce your
RF exposure from wireless phone use.
What about children using wireless
phones?
The scientific evidence does not show a danger to users
of wireless phones, including children and teenagers. If
you want to take steps to lower exposure to
radiofrequency energy (RF), the measures described
above would apply to children and teenagers using
wireless phones. Reducing the time of wireless phone
US Safety Guidelines
91
T606UG-R1.book Page 92 Monday, December 30, 2002 11:57 AM
Draft for Sony Ericsson -- Preliminary Copy
use and increasing the distance between the user and
the RF source will reduce RF exposure.
Some groups sponsored by other national governments
have advised that children be discouraged from using
wireless phones at all. For example, the government in
the United Kingdom distributed leaflets containing
such a recommendation in December 2000. They
noted that no evidence exists that using a wireless
phone causes brain tumors or other ill effects. Their
recommendation to limit wireless phone use by
children was strictly precautionary; it was not based on
scientific evidence that any health hazard exists.
What about wireless phone
interference with medical equipment?
Radiofrequency energy (RF) from wireless phones can
interact with some electronic devices. For this reason,
FDA helped develop a detailed test method to measure
electromagnetic interference (EMI) of implanted
cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators from wireless
telephones. This test method is now part of a standard
sponsored by the Association for the Advancement of
Medical instrumentation (AAMI). The final draft, a
92
US Safety Guidelines
joint effort by FDA, medical device manufacturers, and
many other groups, was completed in late 2000. This
standard will allow manufacturers to ensure that cardiac
pacemakers and defibrillators are safe from wireless
phone EMI.
FDA has tested hearing aids for interference from
handheld wireless phones and helped develop a
voluntary standard sponsored by the Institute of
Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE). This
standard specifies test methods and performance
requirements for hearing aids and wireless phones so
that no interference occurs when a person uses a
“compatible” phone and a “compatible” hearing aid at
the same time. This standard was approved by the
IEEE in 2000.
FDA continues to monitor the use of wireless phones
for possible interactions with other medical devices.
Should harmful interference be found to occur, FDA
will conduct testing to assess the interference and work
to resolve the problem.

US SAR Statement
THIS PHONE MODEL HAS BEEN CERTIFIED
IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE GOVERNMENT’S
REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO
WAVES.
This mobile phone model T606 has been designed to
comply with applicable safety requirements for
exposure to radio waves. Your wireless phone is a radio
transmitter and receiver. It is designed to not exceed
the limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy
set by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
of the U.S. Government. These limits establish
permitted levels of RF energy for the general
population. The guidelines are based on standards that
were developed by international scientific
organizations through periodic and thorough
evaluation of scientific studies. The standards include a
safety margin designed to assure the safety of all
persons, regardless of age and health. The exposure
standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of
94
US SAR Statement
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate,
or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg.*
Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating
positions accepted by the FCC with the phone
transmitting at its highest certified power level in all
tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is
determined at the highest certified power level, the
actual SAR level of the phone while operating can be
well below the maximum value. This is because the
phone is designed to operate at multiple power levels
so as to use only the power required to reach the
network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless
base station antenna, the lower the power output.
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public,
it must be tested and certified to the FCC that it does
not exceed the limit established by the governmentadopted requirement for safe exposure. The tests are
performed in positions and locations (i.e., at the ear
and worn on the body) as required by the FCC for each
model. The highest SAR value as reported to the FCC
T606UG-R1.book Page 95 Monday, December 30, 2002 11:57 AM
Draft for Sony Ericsson -- Preliminary Copy
for this model phone when tested for use at the ear is
1.46 W/kg and when worn on the body is 1.40 W/kg.
Body worn measurements are made while the phone is
in use and worn on the body with an Ericsson or Sony
Ericsson accessory. Accessories can significantly affect
SAR compliance. The Federal Communication
Commission requires that some manufacturers'
accessories be tested, and Sony Ericsson has done so
with respect to its products. Sony Ericsson has only
tested Ericsson and Sony Ericsson original accessories
in conjunction with Sony Ericsson phones. It is
therefore recommended that only Ericsson and Sony
Ericsson original accessories be used in conjunction
with Sony Ericsson phones.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for
this model phone with all reported SAR levels
evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure
guidelines. While there may be differences between the
SAR levels of various phones, all mobile phones
granted an FCC equipment authorization meet the
government requirement for safe exposure.
SAR information on this model phone is on file with
the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant
section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after
searching on FCC ID PXITR-CA1102. Additional
information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can
be found on the Cellular Telecommunications &
Internet Association (CTIA) web-site at http://
phonefacts.net/.
* In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile
phones used by the public is 1.6 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged
over one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a margin of
safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for
any variations in measurements.

Wireless Phone Safety Tips
Your wireless telephone gives you the powerful ability
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:
1 Get to know your wireless phone and its features such as
speed dial and redial. If available, these features help you to
place your call without taking your attention off the road.
2 When available, use a hands free device. If possible add
an additional layer of convenience and safety to your wireless
phone with one of the many hands free accessories available
today.
3 Position your wireless phone within easy reach. Be able
to access your wireless phone without removing your eyes from

Wireless Phone Safety Tips
the road. If you get an incoming call at an inconvenient time, if
possible, let your voice mail answer it for you.
4 Let the person you are speaking with know you are driving; if necessary, suspend the call in heavy traffic or hazardous weather conditions. Rain, sleet, snow, ice, and even
heavy traffic can be hazardous.
5 Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving. Jotting down a “to do” list or flipping through your
address book takes attention away from your primary responsibility - driving safely.
6 Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place
calls when you are not moving or before pulling into traffic. Try to plan calls when your car will be stationary. If you
need to make a call while moving, dial only a few numbers,
check the road and your mirrors, then continue.
7 Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations
that may be distracting. Make people you are talking with
aware you are driving and suspend conversations which have
the potential to divert your attention from the road.

9-1-1 or other local emergency number in the case
of fire, traffic accident or medical emergencies.
Remember, it is a free call on your wireless phone!
9 Use your wireless phone to help others in emergencies.
If you see an auto accident, crime in progress, or other serious
emergency where lives are in danger, call 9-1-1 or other local
emergency number, as you would want others to do for you.
Call roadside assistance or a special nonemergency wireless assistance number when
necessary. If you see a broken-down vehicle posing no
serious hazard, a broken traffic signal, a minor traffic
accident where no one appears injured, or a vehicle you
know to be stolen, call roadside assistance or other
special non-emergency wireless number.
