| Sprint PCS cares about the safety of its customers. We believe that when our
customers are behind the wheel, their most important responsibility is safe driving. That means not drinking a beverage, reading a map, or taking their hands off the wheel and eyes off the road to use a phone or change a radio channel. Sprint PCS encourages people to drive responsibly and put safety first.

Before Sprint PCS customers begin using their Sprint PCS Phones, we ask them to take a moment to consider the following tips that will help them use their wireless phones safely and responsibly wherever they are:
|
- Obey all posted traffic signs
- Always wear your seatbelt
- Make certain you are well rested prior to traveling
- Give yourself ample time to arrive at your destination
- Watch for speed reduction zones
- Take caution around road construction
- Have your vehicle inspected by a qualified mechanic before traveling
- Have your oil, tires (spare), lights and belts and hoses checked
- Pack food, water and a set of tools (screw drivers, wrenches, flashlights)
- Make certain that people know when you are leaving and when you are due to arrive at your destination; inform them of your traveling route
- Have a well-planned route as well as an alternate route
|
- Get to know your Sprint PCS phone and its features
- Use a hands-free device such as an ear bud or headset while driving so you can focus your attention on safety
- Take advantage of Sprint PCS services with convenience and safety in mind - these include Sprint PCS Voice Command, which lets your voice do the dialing; use features such as speed dial and one-touch redial
- Position your phone within easy reach and refrain from taking notes or looking up phone numbers while driving
- Practice common courtesy when using your phone in the company of others (e.g. - simply turn the phone off or silence the ringer)
- Dial 9-1-1 to report serious emergencies - it's free from your Sprint PCS phone
- Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; place calls when your vehicle is not moving
