A failure in the electric system can lead to
unusual behavior such as continuous light, no
light, or noises from the magnetic brakes.
– If a failure exists, switch off the remote and
switch it on again.
– If a failure still exists, then disconnect or
remove the power source. Depending on the
mobility device model, you can either remove
the battery packs or disconnect the batteries

2.3 Safety Information on Electromagnetic
Interference
This powered mobility device was successfully tested in
accordance with International standards as to its compliance
with Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) regulations.
However, electromagnetic fields, such as those generated by
radio and television transmitters, and cellular phones can
influence the functions of powered mobility devices. Also,
the electronics used in our mobility devices can generate a
low level of electromagnetic interference, which however
will remain within the tolerance permitted by law. For
these reasons we ask you to please observe the following
precautions:
WARNING!
Risk of malfunction due to electromagnetic
interference
– Do not switch on or operate portable
transceivers or communication devices (such as
radio transceivers or cellular phones) when the
mobility device is switched on.
– Avoid getting near strong radio and television
transmitters.
– In case the mobility device should be set
in motion unintentionally or the brakes are
released, switch it off immediately.
– Adding electrical accessories and other
components or modifying the mobility device
in any way can make it susceptible to
electromagnetic interference. Keep in mind
that there is no sure way to determine the
effect such modifications will have on the
overall immunity of the electronic system.
– Report all occurrences of unintentional
movement of the mobility device, or release of
the electric brakes to the manufacturer.
