Jazzy Elite 6

Alcohol/Smoking

The power chair user must exercise care and common sense when operating his/her power chair. This includes

awareness of safety issues while under the influence of alcohol or while smoking.

WARNING! Do not operate your power chair while you are under the influence of alcohol, as this

may impair your ability to operate your power chair in a safe manner.

WARNING! Pride strongly recommends that you do not smoke cigarettes while seated in your

power chair, although the power chair has passed the necessary testing requirements for

cigarette smoking. You must adhere to the following safety guidelines if you decide to smoke

cigarettes while seated in your power chair.

Do not leave lit cigarettes unattended.

Keep ashtrays a safe distance from the seat cushions.

Always make sure cigarettes are completely extinguished before disposal.

Flammability Precautions

WARNING! Even though the plastics on your power chair have passed the applicable

flammability standards, Pride recommends that you do not expose your power chair to open

flames.

WARNING! Replace worn or damaged upholstery immediately to reduce the risk of fire hazard.

WARNING! Be aware that washing of upholstered items may reduce the resistance to

flammability of the fabric.

Electromagnetic and Radio Frequency Interference (EMI/RFI)

WARNING! Laboratory tests have shown that electromagnetic and radio frequency waves can

have an adverse effect 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 com-

puter links, microwave signals, 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, contact your authorized Pride Provider. If unintended motion

or brake release occurs, turn your power chair off as soon as it is safe to do so. Contact your authorized Pride

Provider to report the incident.
