Note!
It cannot be excluded that electromagnetic
radiation emanating from mobile telephones,
medical apparatus and other sources, may
have an influence on the power assist.
It cannot be excluded that the power assist
will interfere with the electromagnetic fields
of, for example, shop doors, burglar alarm
systems and/or garage door openers.
Caution!
Do not use the power assist near strong
electrical interference fields, such as
products with very strong magnets.

in a particular environment, switch off your
power assist or leave that environment as
soon as possible. If the strange behaviour
remains, please contact your dealer.
