Mobility 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 mobility
scooter control system while using these devices.
This can affect the mobility scooter
’s movement
and braking.
Therefore, the warnings listed below are intended
to prevent possible interference with the control
system of the ATTO. Electromagnetic
interference (EMI) from sources such as radio
and TV stations, amateur radio (HAM)
transmitters, two-way radios, and cellular phones
can affect mobility scooters.
Following the warnings listed below should
reduce the chance of unintended brake release
or scooter movement, which could result in
serious injury.
•
Exercise caution when using hand-held
transceivers (transmitter-receivers), such
as citizens band (CB) radios or personal
communication devices (such as cellular
phones) while the ATTO is turned ON.
•
Be aware of nearby transmitters, such as
radio or TV stations, and try to avoid
getting close to them.
•
If unintended movement or brake release
occurs, turn the ATTO OFF as soon as it
is safe.
•
Be aware that adding accessories or
components, or modifying the ATTO, may
make it more susceptible to EMI
