common sources of radiated EMI. Your device as sold, with no further modification, has an immunity
level of 20 V/m without any accessories.
There are a number of sources of relatively intense EM in the everyday environment. Some of these
sources are obvious and easy to avoid, others are not and exposure is unavoidable. However, we
believe that by following the warning listed below, your risk to EMI will be minimized. The sources of
radiated EMI can be broadly classified into three types:
1.
Hand-held portable transceivers (transmitter-receivers with the antenna mounted directly on
the transmitting unit). Examples include: citizens band (CB) or hand held radios, (security, fire,
and police transceivers), mobile telephones and other personal communication devices. Some
mobile telephones transmit a signal while they are ON, even though they are not being used.
2.
Medium-range mobile transceivers, such as those used in police cars, fire engines,
ambulances and taxis usually have the antenna mounted on the outside of the vehicle.
3.
Long-range transmitters and transceivers, such as commercial broadcast transmitters (radio
and TV broadcast antenna towers) and amateur (HAM) radios.
Other types of hand-held devices, such as cordless phones, laptop computers, AM/FM radios,
televisions, CD players, and small appliances such as electric shavers and hair dryers, are not likely to
cause EMI problems to your powered scooter.
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) EM energy rapidly becomes more intense the closer you are to a
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 device
control system while using these. This can affect your devices movement and braking, Therefore the
warnings listed below are recommended to prevent possible interference with the control system of
your device.
1.
Do not operate hand-held transceivers-receivers, such as citizens band (CB) radios, or turn
ON personal communication devices, such as mobile phones, while your device is turned on.
2.
Be aware of nearby transmitters, such as radio or TV stations, and try to avoid getting close
to them.
3.
If unintended movement or brake release occurs, turn the device off as soon as it is safe.
4.
Be aware that adding accessories or components, or modifying the device, may make it more
susceptible to EMI.
5.
Report all incidents of unintended movement or brake release to the manufacturer, and note
whether there were sources of EMI nearby.
