Emi – Electromagnetic Interference (cont'd)
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
broad-cast transmitters (radio and TV broadcast antenna towers) and
amateur (HAM) radios.
NOTE: 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
motorized scooters.
Motorized scooter Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)
Because EM energy rapidly becomes more intense as one moves
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’s control system while using these
devices. This can affect the scooter’s movement and braking.
Therefore, the warnings listed below are recommended to pre-vent
possible interference with the control system of your EZee Elite.
WARNINGS Electromagnetic interference (EMI) from sources such
as radio and TV stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, two-
way radios, and cellular phones can affect motorized scooters.
Following the warnings listed below should reduce the chance of
unintended brake release or powered wheelchair movement, which
could result in serious injury.
