3.Long-range transmitters and transceivers such as commercial broadcast transmitters
(radio and TV broadcast antenna towers) and amateur (HAM) radios.
Because EM energy rapidly becomes more intense as one moves closer to the transmitting
antenna (source), the EM fields from hand-held radio wave sources (transceivers) are of
special concern. It is possible to unintentionally bring high levels of EM energy very close
to the power chair control system while using these devices. This can affect power chair
movement and braking. Therefore, the warnings listed below are recommended to prevent
possible interference with the control system of the power chair.
Other types of hand-held devices, such as cordless phones, laptop
computers, AM/FM radios, TV sets, CD players, and cassette players,
and small appliances, such as electric shavers and hair dryers, so far
as we know, are not likely to cause EMI problems to your power chair.
Power Chair Electromagnetic Interference
:
Warnings
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) from sources such as radio and TV stations, amateur
radio (HAM) transmitters, two-way radios, and cellular phones can affect the power chair.
Following the warnings listed below should reduce the chance of unintended brake release
or power chair movement, which could result in serious injury.
1.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 power chair is turned ON;
2.Be aware of nearby transmitters, such as radio or TV stations, and try to avoid coming
close to them;
3.If unintended movement or brake release occurs, turn the power chair OFF as soon
as it is safe;
4.Be aware that adding accessories or components, or modifying the power chair, may
make it more susceptible to EMI; and
5.Report all incidents of unintended movement or brake release to the distributor listed
on the inside front cover of this manual. Note whether there is a source of EMI nearby.
Electromagnetic Interference and Warnings
:
Important Information
1.20 volts per meter V/m is a generally achievable and useful immunity level against EMI
(as of May 1994). The higher the level, the greater the protection.
2.The immunity level of this product is 20 V/m.
