10 Driver Safety Tips
This section provides an introduction to the LG-
DM110. It includes illustrations and descriptions of
the important phone parts and instructions for
getting your phone powered up and ready to use.
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:
Antenna
Handstrap hole
Lamp
Headset Jack
Buzzer
1. Get to knew your wireless phone and its features such as speed dial
and redial. If available, these features help you to place your call
without taking attention off the road.
Earpiece
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.
LCD screen
Side Keys
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 the 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 safety.
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,
they continue.
