Is a cell phone ticket a moving violation in Hawaii?

I’m renting a car to drive around the Hawaiian island of Oahu. However, I’m also going to work an hour or two a day while I’m there. The only thing is that I’d like to make my work calls while I’m getting to my destination. Is a cell phone ticket considered a moving violation when you’re visiting Hawaii?

Audi A5 battery location? I can’t find it!
I bought a 2018 Audi A5 a few months back. It’s been a great car so far and a lot of fun to drive. But I suspect the battery might be dying, and I want to replace it. So I went under the hood … and there isn’t a battery? What the heck? I see terminals for jumpstarting, but where exactly is the Audi A5’s battery location? Do I need to remove engine parts or something?
