Safety Instructions
This vehicle has an immunity level of 20 V/m which should protect it from
Electromagnetic lnterference(EMl) from Radio Wave Sources. The rapid
development of electronics, especially in the area of communications, has
saturated our environment with electromagnetic (radio) waves that are emitted
by television, radio and communication signals. These EM waves are invisible
and their strength increases as one approaches the source. All electrical conductors
act as antennas to the EM signals and, to varying degrees, all power wheelchairs
and scooters are susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI). This interference
could result in abnormal, unintentional movement and/or erratic control of the
vehicle. The United Statement be incorporated to the user's manual for all electric
scooter:
Powered wheelchairs and electric scooters(in this text, both will be referred to
as powered wheelchairs) may be susceptible to electomagnetic interference(EMl),
which is interfering electromagnetic energy emitted from sources such as radio
stations, TV stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, two-way radios and
cellular phones. The interference (from radio wave sources) can cause the
powered wheelchair to release its brakes, move by itself or move in unintended
directions. It can also permanently damage the powered wheelchair's control
system. The intensity of the EM energy can be measured in volts per meter
(V/m). Each powered wheelchair can resist EMI up to a certain intensity. This
is called the "immunity level." The highedr the immunity level, the greater the
protection. At this time, current technology is capable of providing at least 20
V/m of immunity level which would provide useful protection against common
sources of radiated EMI.
Following the warnings listed below should reduce the chance of unintended
brake release or powered wheelchair movement that could result in serious injury:
1) Do not turn on hand-held personal communucation devices such as citizens
band (CB) radios and cellular phones while the powered wheelchair is
turned on.
2) Be aware of nearby transmitters such as radio or TV stations and try to
avoid coming close to them.
