Safety and misuse warnings
Please look in the user manual and/or installation manual of the wheelchair that the iPortal is
installed on for the warnings that apply to that particular wheelchair and control system.
In addition, the following warnings apply to the wheelchair in combination with the iPortal
accessory:
1.
Do not install, maintain, or operate this equipment before you have read and understood
all the instructions and all the manuals for this product and all the other products that you
use or install together with this product. Follow the instructions of the manuals. If you do
not follow all instructions, injury or damage could result.
2.
Do not try to open or disassemble any case - there are no user-serviceable parts inside.
3.
Do not touch the connector pins. If you touch the pins, they can become dirty and the
system's electronic components can be damaged by electrostatic discharge.
4.

has tested the iPhone to confirm that Radio Frequency Interference
(RFI) caused by the iPhone does not change the behaviour of the wheelchair control
systems in any way. In the very unlikely case that the iPhone or another mobile
communications device would cause the wheelchair to behave erratically, turn off the
control system. When you turn off the control system, the chair will halt.
5.
It is the responsibility of the installer to make sure that accessories that are installed on the
vehicle do not interfere with the operation of the vehicle or the control system.

Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)

Electronic controllers and accessories have been tested on typical
vehicles to confirm compliance with the following appropriate EMC standards:
USA:
ANSI/RESNA WC/Vol:2 - 1998 Sec 21
Europe:
EN12184: 1999 Sec 9.8.1-3 / ISO7176-21
National and international directives require confirmation of compliance on particular
vehicles. Since EMC is dependent on a particular installation, each configuration variatant
must be tested.
Minimising emissions
To minimise emissions and to maximise the immunity to radiated fields and ESD, follow the
general wiring recommendations in section 2.1.1 of the DX System Manual.
