Maintaining Safe Use of and Access to Your Phone

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS OUTLINED MAY LEAD TO SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY AND POSSIBLE PROPERTY DAMAGE

Using Your Phone While Driving

Talking on your phone while driving (or operating the phone without a hands-free device) is prohibited in some jurisdictions. Laws vary as to specific restrictions. Remember that safety always comes first. Obey all local laws.

When using your phone in the car:

Get to know your phone and its features, such as speed dial and redial.

When available, use a hands-free device.

Position your phone within easy reach.

Let the person you are speaking to know you are driving; if necessary, suspend the call in heavy traffic or hazardous weather conditions.

Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving.

Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls when stationary or before pulling into traffic.

Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may divert your attention from the road.

Dial 911 to report serious emergencies. It’s free from your wireless phone.

Use your phone to help others in emergencies.

Call roadside assistance or a special non-emergency wireless number when necessary.

Tip: Purchase an optional hands-free car kit at your local Sprint Store, or call the

Sprint PCS Accessory HotlineSM at 1-800-974-2221 or by dialing # 2 2 2 on your Sprint PCS Vision Phone.
