EMI Information
Information regarding Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)
This section contains information on the possible effects of electromagnetic interference to
your vehicle.
EMI refers to the effects that electromagnetic energy might have on the control systems of
your vehicle. The interference could cause the brakes to release, the vehicle to move by
itself or damage the electronics.
There are broadly three types of sources of electromagnetic energy:
1.
Hand Held, Short Range Portable Transceivers. Examples include: CB radios,
walkie-talkies, security, fire and police transceivers, mobile phones and other
devices that transmit a signal even when not in use.
2.
Medium Range Mobile Transceivers. Examples include: police, fire, ambulance
and taxi transceivers.
3.
Long Range Transmitters and Receivers. Examples include: radio and television
towers and amateur (HAM) radios.
There is an immunity level that has to be met by law and your scooter has been tested to
the required level. For a full technical explanation see Page 31 in this document.
WARNING
Even though your vehicle meets the requirements, it is recommended that you follow
certain precautions.
1.
Do not operate hand held transceivers such as CB radios or mobile phones while
the vehicle is switched on.
2.
Be aware of transmitter masts, such as television and radio stations. Avoid
getting close to them.
If your vehicle starts to operate by itself switch it off and call your service provider.
Report all faults of this type.
