Warning #1 - Electromagnetic interference
What is electromagnetic interference (EMI) ?
Electromagnetic interference is the interference that may occur as a result of electromagnetic energy emitted
from radio wave sources. Such radio waves can adversely affect the operation of electronic devices, such as
the controller on your wheelchair.
Sources of electromagnetic interference
Sources that emit electromagnetic energy can be broadly classified into three groups:
Hand held portable transceivers
eg mobile phones, CB radios. These devices have the antenna
mounted on them.
Medium range mobile transceivers
eg radios and other communications equipment on police, fire,
ambulance and other emergency vehicles. The antenna is
normally mounted on the outside of the vehicle.
Long range transmitters and transceivers
eg commercial radio and TV stations, HAM radios, microwave
stations
