Be aware of nearby transmitters, such as radio or TV stations, and try to avoid coming close to them.
If unintended movement or brake release occurs, turn the wheelchair OFF as soon as it is safe to do so.
Be aware that adding accessories or components, or modifying the power positioning system or powered
wheelchair, may make it more susceptible to EMI. Parts not specifically tested or aftermarket parts from
other suppliers have unknown EMI properties.
NOTE:
There is no easy way to evaluate their effect on
the overall immunity of the powered wheelchair
.
Promptly report all incidents of unintended movement of the power positioning system and/or powered
wheelchair (including brake release), and note whether there was a source of EMI near the wheelchair
at the time of occurrence. Contact:
