3using your Orange phone in a vehicle
Safety comes first, and is the ultimate responsibility of the driver. Therefore:
■Orange recommend that you do not use your phone when driving, unless you are using a personal handsfree car kit.
■If you need to make or receive a call and you have a personal handsfree car kit, make sure it is done sensibly using speed dialling or voice activation where possible, and keeping calls brief and to a minimum.
■If you don’t have a personal handsfree car kit, stop and park your vehicle safely before using your phone, although never on a motorway slip road or hard shoulder even if it is urgent.
■Do not store or carry inflammable liquids, gases or explosive materials in the same compartment as your phone, its parts or accessories and always store your phone safely and securely.
■You should always use a phone holder in your car to secure your phone safely.
Never place the phone on the passenger seat or where it can break loose in a collision or sudden stop.

improperly installed and the air bag inflates, serious injury could result.
■Check regularly that all mobile phone equipment in your vehicle is mounted and operating properly.

Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals.

You should also consult the manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.
