electromagnetic interference.
Advice
Following the advice listed below should reduce the chance of unintentional brake release or
powered wheelchair movement.
Do not operate hand-held transceivers (transmitters-receivers), such as citizens band (CB)
radios.
Do not switch on personal communication devices, such as cellular phones, while the
powered wheelchair is turned ON.
Be aware of any nearby radio or tv station transmitters and try to avoid going close to them.
If unintentional movement or brake release occurs, turn the powered wheelchair OFF as soon
as it is safe to do so. Report all incidents of unintentional movement or brake release to the
manufacturer, and note whether there was a radio wave source nearby.
Finally, be aware that adding accessories or components, or modifying the powered
wheelchair, may make it more susceptible to EMI. LEVO AG cannot take any responsibility
for the effects of EMI if your wheelchair has been altered in any way.
