Notice for Drivers 15

Notice for Drivers

Microsoft

Windows Mobile™ Software for Portable Media

Centers

General Operation

Prolonged Views of Screen

If you are driving, do not access any function that requires a prolonged view of the screen.

Pull over in a safe and legal manner before attempting to access any system function

requiring your prolonged attention. Even occasional, brief glances to the screen may be

hazardous if your attention is taken away from your driving task at a critical time.

Volume Setting

Do not raise the volume to excessive levels. Keep the volume low enough for you

to be able to hear outside traffic and emergency signals while driving. Driving

while being unable to hear these sounds could cause an accident.

Warning:

Operating certain parts of this device while driving can take your attention away

from the road, and possibly cause an accident or result in other serious

consequences. Do not change system settings while driving. While setting up or

changing some functions, you might be required to take your attention away from the

road and remove your hands from the wheel.

Stop your vehicle in a safe and legal manner before attempting these operations.
