Smart Practices While Driving

Drive Safe, Call Smart SM

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. Contact www.motorola.com/callsmart 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 voice mail 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.*

V3i specifications

The Motorola V3i, introduced in 2006, epitomizes the sleek design and innovation of its era in mobile technology. As a next-generation version of the iconic V3 Razr, the V3i combined aesthetic appeal with enhanced functionality, making it a favorite among consumers seeking a stylish yet practical device.

One of the standout features of the V3i is its striking design. Sporting a refined aluminum body, the phone boasts a premium feel and slim profile, measuring just 13.5 mm in thickness. Its clamshell form factor not only contributed to its attractiveness but also protected the display and keypad when closed. The V3i was available in several color options, including the timeless silver and a more contemporary black, allowing users to express their individuality.

The display of the V3i is another impressive aspect, featuring a vibrant 2.2-inch TFT screen capable of displaying 262,144 colors. This made for clear, sharp images and facilitated an engaging user experience, whether for texting or viewing photos. The internal screen was complemented by a secondary external display, which provided notifications and caller ID without needing to flip open the device.

In terms of technology, the V3i was equipped with support for GSM and GPRS networks, ensuring solid connectivity around the globe. The phone also introduced support for iTunes, allowing users to manage and enjoy their music directly from the device. This integration was a significant selling point, as users could easily download and store their favorite tracks, transforming the V3i into a stylish music player.

Photography enthusiasts appreciated the inclusion of a 1.3-megapixel camera. Although modest by today's standards, this capability enabled users to capture decent quality images and share them with friends. The V3i also supported multimedia messaging, enabling users to send photos and other media effortlessly.

With a talk time of up to 6 hours and a standby time of approximately 250 hours, the V3i was designed to keep pace with active lifestyles. Its user-friendly interface and intuitive controls made navigating through applications and features a breeze.

Despite the rise of smartphones, the Motorola V3i remains a significant milestone in mobile phone history, showcasing how design and functionality can coexist harmoniously. This model not only left a lasting impression in the world of mobile devices but also set the stage for future innovations in the industry. The Motorola V3i continues to be celebrated as a classic example of early 2000s mobile technology, symbolizing a pivotal shift toward more stylish and compact devices.
