A Guide to Safe and Responsible Wireless Phone Use

Tens of millions of people in the U.S. today take advantage of the unique
combination of convenience, safety and value delivered by the wireless telephone.
Quite simply, the wireless phone gives people the powerful ability to communicate
by voice—almost anywhere, anytime—with the boss, with a client, with the kids, with
emergency personnel or even with the police. Each year, Americans make billions of
calls from their wireless phones, and the numbers are rapidly growing. But an
important responsibility accompanies those benefits, one that every wireless phone
user must uphold. When driving a car, driving is your first responsibility. A wireless
phone can be an invaluable tool, but good judgment must be exercised at all times
while driving a motor vehicle—whether on the phone or not.The basic lessons are
ones we all learned as teenagers. Driving requires alertness, caution and courtesy. It
requires a heavy dose of basic common sense—keep your head up, keep your eyes on
the road, check your mirrors frequently and watch out for other drivers. It requires
obeying all traffic signs and signals and staying within the speed limit. It means
using seatbelts and requiring other passengers to do the same. But with wireless
phone use, driving safely means a little more. This brochure is a call to wireless phone
users everywhere to make safety their first priority when behind the wheel of a car.
Wireless telecommunications is keeping us in touch, simplifying our lives, protecting
us in emergencies and providing opportunities to help others in need. When it comes
to the use of wireless phones, safety is your most important call.
