Microdrive Controller
Electromagnetic and Radio Frequency Interference (EMI/RFI)
WARNING! Laboratory tests have shown that electromagnetic
and radio frequency waves can have an adverse affect on
the performance of electrically-powered mobility vehicles.
Electromagnetic and Radio Frequency Interference can come from sources such as
cellular phones, mobile two-way radios (such as walkie-talkies), radio stations, TV
stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, wireless computer links, microwave sig-
nals, paging transmitters, and medium-range mobile transceivers used by emergency
vehicles. In some cases, these waves can cause unintended movement or damage to
the control system. Every electrically-powered mobility vehicle has an immunity (or
resistance) to EMI. The higher the immunity level, the greater the protection against
EMI. This product has been tested and has passed at an immunity level of 20 V/m.
WARNING! Be aware that cell phones, two-way radios,
laptops, and other types of radio transmitters may cause
unintended movement of your electrically-powered mobility
vehicle due to EMI. Exercise caution when using any of these
items while operating your mobility vehicle and avoid coming
into close proximity of radio and TV stations.
WARNING! The addition of accessories or components to
the electrically-powered mobility vehicle can increase the
susceptibility of the vehicle to EMI. Do not modify your power
chair in any way not authorized by Pride.
WARNING! The electrically-powered mobility vehicle itself
can disturb the performance of other electrical devices
located nearby, such as alarm systems.
NOTE: For further information on EMI/RFI, go to the Resource Center on
www.pridemobility.com. If unintended motion or brake release occurs, turn
your controller off as soon as it is safe to do so. Contact Pride or your autho-
rized Pride Provider to report the incident.
