WARNING: Radio wave sources may affect scooter control
Radio waves sources, such as radio stations, TV stations, amateur radio (HAM)
transmitters, mobile phones, and two-way radios, can affect motorized scooters.
Following the warnings listed below should reduce the chance of unintended
brake release or scooter movement, which could result in serious injury.
1) Do not turn ON or use hand-held personal communication devices, such
as citizens band (CB) radios and mobile phones, while your scooter is
turned ON;
2) Be aware of nearby transmitters, such as radio or TV stations and
hand-held or mobile two-way radios, and try to avoid coming close to
them.
3) If unintended movement or brake release occurs, turn the power OFF as
soon as it is safe.
4) Be aware that adding accessories or components, or modifying your
scooter, may make it more susceptible to interference from radio wave
sources. (Note: There is no easy way to evaluate their effect on the overall
immunity of the scooter), and
5) Report all incidents of unintended movement or brake release to the
scooter manufacturer, and note whether there is a radio wave source
nearby.
Important Information:
1) 20 volts per meter (v/m) is a generally achievable and a useful immunity
level, against interference from radio wave sources (as of May 1994) (the
higher the level, the greater the protection);
2) The immunity level of this product is not known.
