Driving Safety Tips Details

1Get to know your Treo 750 and its features such as speed-dial and redial. Carefully read your instruction manual and learn to take advantage of valuable features most Treo 750 models offer including, automatic redial and memory dial-most Treo 750 models can store up to 99 numbers in memory dial. Also, work to memorize the Treo 750 keypad so you can use the speed-dial function without taking your attention off the road.

2When available, use a hands-free device. A number of hands-free Treo 750 accessories are readily available today. Whether you choose an installed mounted device for your Treo 750 or a

speaker phone accessory, take advantage of these devices if available to you.

3Position your Treo 750 within easy reach. Make sure you place your Treo 750 within easy reach and where you can grab it without removing your eyes from the road. If you get an incoming call at an inconvenient time, let your voice mail answer it for you.

4Suspend conversations during hazardous driving conditions or situations. Let the person you are speaking to know you are driving; if necessary, suspend the call in heavy traffic or hazardous weather conditions. Rain, sleet, snow and ice can be hazardous, but so is heavy traffic. As a driver, your first responsibility is to pay attention to the road.

5Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving. If you are reading an address book or business card while driving a car, or writing a “to do” list, then you are not watching where you are going. It’s common sense. Don’t get caught in a dangerous situation because you are reading or writing and not paying attention to the road or nearby vehicles.

6Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls when you are not moving or before pulling into traffic. Try to plan your calls before you begin your trip, or attempt to coincide your calls with times you may be stopped at a stop sign, red light or otherwise stationary. But if you need to dial while driving, follow this simple tip-dial only a few numbers, check the road and your mirrors, then continue.

7Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may be distracting. Stressful or emotional conversations and driving do not mix-they are distracting and even dangerous when you are behind the wheel. Make people you are talking with aware you are driving and if necessary, suspend phone conversations which have the potential to divert your attention from the road.

8Use your Treo 750 to call for help. Your Treo 750 is one of the greatest tools you can own to protect yourself and your family in dangerous situations-with your Treo 750 at your side, help is only three numbers away. Dial 9-1-1 in the case of fire, traffic accident, road hazard, or medical emergencies. Remember, 9-1-1is a free call on your Treo 750!
