Driving Precautions

Responsible and safe driving is your primary responsibility when driving a vehicle. Making calls or using applications while driving may cause distraction, and may be prohibited or restricted in certain areas—always obey local laws and regulations for the use of mobile devices and accessories in the vehicle.

While driving, ALWAYS:

nKeep your eyes on the road.

nUse a handsfree device if available or required by law in your area.

nEnter destination information into a navigation device before driving.

nUse voice activated features (such as voice dial) and speaking features (such as audible directions), if available.

nConcentrate on driving, and stop using the mobile device if you can’t concentrate.

Pull over safely before using your mobile device to send messages, surf the Web, or use other applications.

Seizures, Blackouts & Eyestrain

To reduce eyestrain and avoid headaches, it is always a good idea to hold the screen a comfortable distance from your eyes, use in a well-lit area, and take frequent breaks.

Some people may be susceptible to seizures or blackouts (even if they have never had one before) when exposed to flashing lights or light patterns, such as when playing video games, or watching videos with flashing-light effects.

Discontinue use and consult a physician if any of the following symptoms occur: seizures, blackout, convulsion, eye or muscle twitching, loss of awareness, or disorientation.

Caution About High Volume Usage

Exposure to loud noise from any source for extended periods of time may affect your hearing. The louder the sound, the less time is required before your hearing could be affected. To protect your hearing:

nLimit the amount of time you use headsets or headphones at high volume.

nAvoid turning up the volume to block out noisy surroundings.

nTurn the volume down if you can’t hear people speaking near you.
