WARNING! The following warnings are recommended to prevent the risk of serious personal
injury and to prevent possible interference with the control system of the powered wheelchair.
• Do not turn on personal communications devices, such as mobile phones, or operate hand held
transceivers (transmitters- receivers), such as citizens band (CB) radios, while the powered wheelchair
is turned ON.
• 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

2.10 Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)
WARNING! Laboratory tests have shown that electromagnetic interference (EMI) can have an
adverse effect on the performance of electrically-powered mobility vehicles.
• Electromagnetic interference (EMI) comes from radio wave sources such as radio transmitters and
transceivers. Powered wheelchairs including the power positioning system may be susceptible to EMI
emitted from sources such as radio stations, TV stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, two way
radios and mobile phones. In some cases, this interference may cause the wheelchair to release its
brakes, activate/move in unintended directions, or may cause damage to the control system.
WARNING! Risk of Serious Injury or Damage.
When loading a power wheelchair into a vehicle for transport with the occupant seated in it,
adhere to the following guidelines:
• It is always better to transfer the power wheelchair to a vehicle without the occupant seated in it.
• If the power wheelchair needs to be loaded up a ramp together with its driver, ensure that the ramp
does not exceed the maximum safe slope (refer to
Section 2.2- Incline Warnings
for the maximum
recommended safe slope angle and additional safety warnings)
• If the power wheelchair needs to be loaded using a ramp which exceeds the maximum safe slope, or if
the wheelchair must be tilted or reclined to enter the vehicle, ALWAYS have an attendant present to safely
monitor and assist the loading process.
• As an alternative, a platform lift may be used. Ensure that the total weight of the power wheelchair
does not exceed the maximum permissible weight for the platform lift or winch if you are using.
