ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) from sources such as radio and TV stations, amateur
radio (HAM) transmitters, two-way radios, and cellular phones can affect powered scooter
and motorized scooters. Following the warnings listed below should reduce the chance of
unintended brake release or powered scooter movement, which could result in serious injury.
1) Do not operate hand-held transceivers (transmitters-receivers), such as citizens band
(CB) radios, or turn ON personal communication devices, such as cellular phones, while the
powered scooter is turned ON.
2) Be aware of nearby transmitters, such as radio or TV stations, and try to avoid coming
close to them;
3) If unintended movement or brake release occurs, turn the powered scooter OFF as soon
as it is safe.
4) Be aware that adding accessories or components, or modifying the powered scooter, may
make it more susceptible to EMI (Note: There is no easy way to evaluate their effect on the
overall immunity of the powered scooter.
5) Report all incidents of unintended movement or brake release to the powered scooter
manufacturer, and note whether there is a source of EMI nearby.
If unintended motion or brake release occurs, turn the power OFF as soon as it is safe.
FDA recommends that you report all incidents of unintended motion or brake release to us
or your dealer, and if possible, note whether there was a radio wave source nearby at the time
of the incident. You may also report to FDA’s Med Watch problem reporting program. Call
1-800-FDA-1088 and ask for Form 3500.
The following warning label is included in order to make users always aware that a possibility
of electromagnetic interference exists.
We highly recommend you visit the support page on our website, moosemobilityscooter.
