1.1. EMI (Electromagnetic Interference)
There is a risk of unintended movement of this device as a result of radio waves. Avoid driving in an area where
strong electromagnetic waves are generated such as areas around high-tension wires, television towers, etc. Radio
waves may interfere with the control functions of this device.
The device may also emit its own electromagnetic fields and may disturb the operation of other nearby devices.
To reduce the chance of unintended device movement, which could result in serious injury, pay careful attention to
the following instructions.
• Do not operate hand-held transceivers (transmitters receivers), such as citizens band (CB) radios, or turn
on personal communication devices, such as cellular phones, while the device is turned on;
• Look for nearby transmitters, such as radio or TV stations, and try to avoid coming close to them;
• Be aware that adding accessories or components, or modifying the device, may make it more susceptible to
EMI.
If the device moves or stops when the device controller is not operated, or if the device operates in a way different
than intended, take the following actions.
• Turn off the device as soon as it is safe.
• Record the controller operation that was being performed at that time.
• Record the device operation that could not be activated using the controller.
• Record the mobile phones and other electronic devices that may be sources of radio waves and were near
the device.
Based on these notes, consider the possible cause of radio frequency interference and remove it. If the problem is
still not resolved, consult with your dealer or customer support. Keep your earlier notes handy while talking with
them.
If radio frequency interference is suspected, turn off the power and disconnect the battery.
1.1.1. General Q&A on EMI and RFI
The following are general questions and answers regarding steps to avoid nearly all of the effects of EMI and RFI
with this device. Please use them as reference.
Where do radio waves come from?
Radio waves are emitted by unidirectional or bidirectional radio devices. Such devices include transceivers,
mobile phones, wireless computer links, microwave generators, and radio call transmitters. Radio waves are a
form of electromagnetic energy, and the strength of the energy increases at closer distances to the transmitting
antenna. This electromagnetic field can cause problems for users of electric equipment.
What kind of movements should I expect if the device is affected by EMI or RFI?
EMI and RFI undergo extremely large dynamic changes and may affect a device depending on conditions such as
the following.
• Radio wave frequency and strength
