Persons with pacemakers:
• should always keep the
GALAXY
more than 15 cm
(6 inches) from their pacemaker when the
GALAXY
is
switched on.
•should not carry the
GALAXY
in a breast pocket.
•should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize
potential interference.
If you have any reason to suspect that interference is
taking place, switch your
GALAXY
off immediately.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless
GALAXY
s may interfere with some
hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you
may wish to consult your hearing aid manufacturer to
discuss alternatives.
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical devices, consult
the manufacturer of your device to determine if it is
adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your
physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this
information. Switch your
GALAXY
off in health care
facilities when any regulations posted in these areas
instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities
may be using equipment that could be sensitive to
external RF energy.
Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately
shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles. Check
with the manufacturer or its representative regarding
your vehicle. You should also consult the manufacturer
of any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.
Posted Facilities
Switch your
GALAXY
off in any facility where posted
notices require you to do so.
Health and safety information
Potentially Explosive Environments
Switch your
GALAXY
off when in any area with a
potentially explosive atmosphere and obey all signs
and instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause
an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even
death.
Users are advised to switch the
GALAXY
off while at a
refueling point (service station). Users are reminded
of the need to observe restrictions on the use of radio
equipment in fuel depots (fuel storage and distribution
areas), chemical plants or where blasting operations are
in progress.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often
but not always clearly marked. They include below deck
on boats, chemical transfer or storage facilities, vehicles
using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or
butane), areas where the air contains chemicals or
particles, such as grain, dust or metal powders, and any
other area where you would normally be advised to
turn off your vehicle engine.
Emergency Calls
This
GALAXY
, like any wireless
GALAXY
, operates using
radio signals, wireless and landline networks as well as
user programmed functions, which cannot guarantee
connection in all conditions. Therefore, you should
never rely solely on any wireless
GALAXY
for essential
communications (medical emergencies, for example).
Remember, to make or receive any calls the
GALAXY
must
be switched on and in a service area with adequate
signal strength. Emergency calls may not be possible
on all wireless
GALAXY
networks or when certain network
services and/or
GALAXY
features are in use. Check with
local service providers.
To make an emergency call:
1
If the
GALAXY
is not on, switch it on.

location (for example, 911 or other official
emergency number). Emergency numbers vary by
