3. ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE / RFI
The rapid development of electronics, especially in the area of communications, has
saturated our environment with electromagnetic (radio) waves that are emitted by television
transmitters, cellular phones, citizen’s band radios (CBs), amateur radios (ham radios),
wireless computer links, microwave transmitters, paging transmitters, etc. These
electromagnetic (EM) waves are invisible and increase in strength the closer one gets to the
source of transmission. When these energy waves act upon electrical devices and cause
them to malfunction or to function in an erratic or uncontrolled manner, they are referred to as
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) or Radio Frequency Interference (RFI).
EMI/RFI AND YOUR SCOOTER
All electrically powered vehicles, including scooters are susceptible to Electromagnetic
Interference/Radio Frequency Interference (EMI/RFI). This interference could result in
abnormal, unintended movement of your scooter.
WARNING: Unintended movement or brake release could cause an accident or injury.
The TGA has determined that each make and model of scooter can resist EMI/RFI to a
certain level. The higher the level of resistance, the greater the degree of protection from
EMI/RFI—measured in volts per meter (V/m). The US FDA has also determined that current
technology is capable of providing 20 V/m of resistance to EMI/RFI, which would provide
useful protection against common sources of interference. This product has been tested and
has passed at an immunity level of 20 V/m.
EMI/RFI RECOMMENDATIONS
•
Do not turn on or use hand-held personal electronic communication devices such as
cellular phones, walkie-talkies, and CB radios while your scooter is turned on.
•
Be aware of any nearby transmitters (radio, television, microwave, etc.) on your
intended route and avoid operating your scooter close to any of those transmitters.
•
Turn off the power if your scooter is going to be in a stationary position for any length of
time.
•
Be aware that adding accessories or components or modifying your scooter may make
it more susceptible to EMI/RFI.
•
If unintended movement or brake release occurs, turn your scooter off as soon as it is
safe to do so.
•
Report all incidents of unintended movement or brake failure to Scooters Australia
WARNING: Turn off your scooter as soon as it is safely possible if unintended or
uncontrollable motion occurs or if unintended brake release occurs.
