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.

keypad  
Scroll keys  
Microphone  
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.

driving and suspend conversations that have the potential to divert  
your attention from the road.
