For Vehicle Installations and Use

• Air bags deflate with great force. DO NOT place objects, including installed or portable
wireless equipment, or printers in the area over the air bag or in the air bag
deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment is improperly installed and the air
bag inflates, serious injury could result.
• Position your device within easy reach. Be able to access your device without
removing your eyes from the road.
• Do not take notes or use the device while driving. Jotting down a “to do” list or
flipping through your address book takes attention away from your primary
responsibility, driving safely.
• Datamax-O’Neil is not responsible for damages or injuries resulting from improper
installation or use.
