Health and Safety

• Failure to do so may result in fire or explosion.
Comply with all safety warnings and regulations regarding mobile device usage while
operating a vehicle
• While driving, safely operating the vehicle is your first responsibility. Never use your
mobile device while driving, if it is prohibited by law. For your safety and the safety of
others, use your common sense and remember the following tips:
• Get to know your device and its convenience features, such as speed dial and redial.
These features help you reduce the time needed to place or receive calls on your mobile
device.
• Position your device within easy reach. Make sure you can access your wireless device
without taking your eyes off the road.
• Suspend calls in heavy traffic or hazardous weather conditions. Rain, sleet, snow, ice, and
heavy traffic can be hazardous.
• Do not take notes or look up phone numbers. Jotting down a “to do” list or flipping
through your address book takes attention away from your primary responsibility of
driving safely.
• Dial sensibly and assess the traffic. Place calls when you are not moving or before pulling
into traffic. Try to plan calls when your car will be stationary.
• Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may be distracting. Make
the person you are talking to aware that you are driving and suspend conversations that
could potentially divert your attention from the road.
Care for and use your mobile device properly
Keep your device dry
• Humidity and liquids may damage the parts or electronic circuits in your device.
• Do not turn on your device if it is wet. If your device is already on, turn it off and remove
the battery immediately (if the device will not turn off or you cannot remove the battery,
leave it as-is). Then, dry the device with a towel and take it to a service centre.
• Liquids will change the colour of the label that indicates water damage inside the device.
Water damage to your device can void your manufacturer’s warranty.
Store your device only on flat surfaces
• If your device falls, it may be damaged.
Do not store your device in very hot or very cold areas. It is recommended to use your
device at temperatures from 5 °C to 35 °C
• Do not store your device in very hot areas such as inside a car in the summertime. Doing
