sense and remember the following advice:
• Get to know the device and its operating functions, like speed
dialing and recall system. These functions allow the time necessary to
make and receive calls to be reduced.
• Put the device in a place where it is easy to reach. Make sure that
you can access the wireless device without taking your eyes off the
road. If you receive a telephone call at an inconvenient time, let
voice-mail answer it.
• Stop phone calls when there is heavy traffic or when there are
adverse climate conditions. Rain, sleet, snow, ice and heavy traffic
can be very dangerous.
• Do not jot down or look for telephone numbers. Jotting down a
task or looking at your calendar may distract you from your main
responsibility, which is to drive safely.
• Dial carefully and assess the state of the traffic. Make phone calls
when you are not moving or before hitting traffic. Try to schedule
phone calls when the car is parked.
• Do not have very stressful or emotional phone calls that may
distract you. Tell the person that you are speaking to that you are
driving and end any conversations that may take away your attention
from the road.
Correct use and maintenance of the mobile device.
Keep the device dry.
• Humidity and liquids may damage the parts or the electronic

take the battery out, just leave it as it is). After this, dry the device
with a towel and take it to the service centre.
• Liquids will change the colour of the label which indicates the
damage caused by the water inside the device. The damage caused
by the water in the device may cancel the manufacturer's warranty.
