Important Technical Information regarding Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)
The intensity of interference from electromagnetic energy is measured in volts per
metre (v/m), which refers to the strength of the electrical source (voltage) as it
relates to the distance away from the object being considered (in metres).
Resistance of a scooter/wheelchair to certain EMI intensity is commonly called its
“immunity level”. 20 volts/metre is a generally achievable and useful immunity
level against interference from radio wave sources (the higher the immunity level,
the greater protection).
Your scooter has been tested and found to meet the required immunity level from
Electromagnetic Interference (20v/m): the intensity of interference from
electromagnetic energy.
WARNING: Even with the immunity level of 20 volts/metre, certain precautions
must be followed to ensure your scooter/wheelchair will not be affected by outside
electromagnetic sources.
Caution: Even with the immunity level of 20 volts per metre, certain
precautions must be followed to ensure your scooter/ wheelchair will
not be affected by outside electromagnetic sources. See page 4 of
this manual for additional information
