10 Driver Safety Tips
Your wireless telephone gives you the powerful ability to
communicate by voice - almost anywhere, anytime. But an
important responsibility accompanies the benefits of wireless
phones, one that every user must uphold.
When driving a car, driving is your first responsibility. When
using your wireless phone behind the wheel of a car, practice
good common sense and remember the following tips:
1. Get to know your wireless phone and its features such as speed
dial and redial. If available, these features help you to
place your call without taking your attention off the road.
2. When available, use a hands free device. If possible, add an
additional layer of convenience and safety to your wireless phone
with one of the many hands free accessories available today.
3. Position your wireless phone within easy reach. Be able to
access your wireless phone without removing your eyes from the
road. If you get an incoming call at an inconvenient time, if
possible, let your voice mail answer it for you.
4. Let the person you are speaking with know you are
driving; if necessary, suspend the call in heavy traffic or
hazardous weather conditions. Rain, sleet, snow, ice, and
even heavy traffic can be hazardous.
5. Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving.
Jotting down a “to do” list or flipping through your address book
takes attention away from your primary responsibility, driving
safely.
6. Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls
when you are not moving or before pulling into traffic. Try
to plan calls when your car will be stationary. If you need to
make a call while moving, dial only a few numbers, check the
road and your mirrors, then continue.
7. Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that
may be distracting. Make people you are talking with aware
you are driving and suspend conversations that have the
potential to divert your attention from the road.
8. Use your wireless phone to call for help. Dial 9-1-1 or other
local emergency number in the case of fire, traffic accident or
10 Driver Safety Tips
11
medical emergencies. Remember, it is a free call on your wireless
phone!
9. Use your wireless phone to help others in emergencies. If
you see an auto accident, crime in progress or other serious
emergency where lives are in danger, call 9-1-1 or other local
emergency number, as you would want others to do for you.
10. Call roadside assistance or a special non-emergency
wireless assistance number when necessary. If you see a
broken down vehicle posing no serious hazard, a broken traffic
signal, a minor traffic accident where no on appears injured, or a
vehicle you know to be stolen, call roadside assistance or other
special non emergency number.
“The wireless industry reminds you to use your phone safely
when driving.”

Charging the Battery
Your phone is powered by a rechargeable Li-ion battery. A
travel adapter comes with your phone for charging the battery.
Use only approved batteries and chargers. Ask your local
Samsung dealer for further details.
The travel adapter allows you to use the phone while the
battery is charging, but this causes the phone to charge more
slowly.
Note:
You must fully charge the battery before using your phone for
the first time. A discharged battery is fully recharged in
approximately 200 minutes.

the phone during charging; otherwise, the phone could be
damaged.

When the battery is weak and only a few minutes of talk time
remain, a warning tone sounds and a message repeats at
regular intervals on the display. If this happens, your phone
turns off the backlight to conserve the remaining battery power.
When the battery level becomes too low, the phone
automatically turns off.
