Smart Practices While Driving

Drive Safe, Call Smart

Check the laws and regulations on the use of mobile devices and their accessories in the areas where you drive. Always obey them. The use of these devices may be prohibited or restricted in certain areas -- for example, handsfree use only. Go to www.motorola.com/callsmart (in English only) for more information.

Your mobile device lets you communicate by voice and data—almost anywhere, anytime, wherever wireless service is available and safe conditions allow. When driving a car, driving is your first responsibility. If you choose to use your mobile device while driving, remember the following tips:

Get to know your Motorola mobile device 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.

• When available, use a handsfree device.

If possible, add an additional layer of convenience to your mobile device with one of the many Motorola Original handsfree accessories available today.

Position your mobile device within easy reach. Be able to access your mobile device without removing your eyes from

the road. If you receive an incoming call at an inconvenient time, if possible, let your voicemail answer it for you.

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.

Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving. Jotting down a “to do” list or going through your address book takes attention away from your primary responsibility—driving safely.

Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls when your car is not moving or before pulling into traffic. If you must make a call while moving, dial only a few numbers, check the road and your mirrors, then continue.

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 that can divert your attention away from the road.

Use your mobile device to call for help. Dial 911 or other local emergency number in the case of fire, traffic accident, or medical emergencies (wherever wireless phone service is available).

Use your mobile device to help others in emergencies. If you see an auto accident, crime in progress, or other serious

68000202467-A specifications

The Motorola 68000 series microprocessor, specifically the 68000202467-A, stands out as a significant piece of technology in the evolution of computing. Launched in the late 1970s and gaining popularity in the 1980s, the Motorola 68000 series paved the way for many modern computing technologies. The 68000202467-A variant is known for its robust features that range from high computational efficiency to extensive compatibility with various systems.

One of the key characteristics of the 68000202467-A is its 32-bit architecture, which allows for a substantial amount of data processing per cycle compared to its predecessors. With a 16-bit data bus, the processor can interact efficiently with peripherals while maintaining compatibility with older systems. This dual feature of supporting both 16-bit and 32-bit operations made it appealing for a wide array of embedded applications and personal computers.

In terms of performance, the 68000202467-A operates at clock speeds that can reach up to 16 MHz. This speed, combined with a sophisticated instruction set, enables it to handle multiple tasks simultaneously, making it well-suited for multitasking operating systems. The 68000 has a large number of operational modes, which enhance its versatility for software developers.

The Motorola 68000 series also incorporates advanced technologies such as a 7-stage instruction pipeline, which contributes to processing efficiency. This pipelining allows subsequent instructions to be fetched while the current instruction is being executed, minimizing idle CPU time and maximizing throughput. Additionally, the processor supports various addressing modes, making it flexible for programmers to access data in memory.

Another notable aspect of the 68000202467-A is its built-in support for a vast range of development environments. With numerous software development kits and libraries available, developers could easily create applications tailored for both graphics and processing-intensive tasks. This capability turned the 68000 into a preferred choice for the gaming industry during its peak.

Overall, the Motorola 68000202467-A remains a pivotal component in the legacy of microprocessors. Its combination of architectural sophistication, performance capabilities, and compatibility positions it as a landmark in the journey of computing innovation. As technology continues to evolve, the contributions of the 68000 series are still acknowledged and studied, reminding us of how far we have come in microprocessor design and functionality.
