1.Hand-held portable transceivers (transmitters-receivers) with the antenna mounted
directly on the transmitting unit. Examples include: citizens band (CB) radios, "walkie
talkie," security, fire, and police transceivers, mobile phones, and other personal communication
devices.
2.Medium-range mobile transceivers, such as those used in police cars, fire trucks, ambulances,
and taxis. These usually have the antenna mounted on the outside of the vehicle; and
3.Long-range transmitters and transceivers such as commercial broadcast transmitters
(radio and TV broadcast antenna towers) and amateur (HAM) radios.
2-6 ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE AND WARNINGS
It is very important that you read this information regarding the possible effects
of Electromagnetic Interference on your mobility scooter.
Mobility scooters may be susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI), which is interfering
electromagnetic energy (EM) emitted from sources such a radio stations, TV stations,
amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, two-way radios, and mobile phones. The interference
(from radio wave sources) can cause the mobility scooter to release its brakes, move by
itself, or move in unintended directions. It can also permanently damage the mobility
scooter control system. The intensity of the interfering EM energy can be measured in volts
per meter (V/m). Each mobility scooter can resist EMI up to certain intensity. This is called
its "immunity level." The higher the immunity level, the greater the protection. At this time,
current technology is capable of achieving at least a 20 V/m immunity level, which would
provide useful protection from the more common sources of radiated EMI. The immunity
level of this mobility scooter model is not known.
There are a number of sources of relatively intense electromagnetic fields in the everyday
environment. Some of these sources are obvious and easy to avoid. Others are not apparent
and exposure is unavoidable. However, we believe that by following the warnings listed
below, your risk to EMI will be minimized.
Some mobile phones and similar devices transmit signals while they are ON,
even when not being used
Other types of hand-held devices, such as cordless phones, laptop computers,
AM/FM radios, TV sets, CD players, and cassette players, and small appliances,
such as electric shavers and hair dryers, so far as we know, are not likely to cause
EMI problems to your mobility scooter.
The sources of radiated EMI can be broadly classified into three types :
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) from sources such as radio and TV stations, amateur
radio (HAM) transmitters, two-way radios, and mobile phones can affect mobility scooters.
Because EM energy rapidly becomes more intense as one move closer to the transmitting
antenna (source), the EM fields from hand-held radio wave sources (transceivers) are of
special concern. It is possible to unintentionally bring high levels of EM energy very close
to the motorized scooter control system while using these devices. This can affect mobility
scooter movement and braking. Therefore, the warnings listed below are recommended
to prevent possible interference with the control system of the mobility scooter.
