U
Other types of handheld devices, such as cordless phones, laptop computers, AM/FM radios,
TV sets, CD and cassette players as well as small appliances such as electric shavers and hair
dryers, as far as we know, are not likely to cause EMI problems with your power wheelchair.
2.7.2 Warnings regarding effects of electromagnetic interference
WARNING
Risk of accidents due to uncontrolled driving behaviour.
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) from
sources such as radio and TV stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, two-way radios, and
cellular phones can affect power wheelchairs and motorized scooters. Following the warnings listed
below should reduce the chance of unintended brake release or power wheelchair movement which
could result in serious injury.
INFORMATION
The warnings listed below are provided to prevent possible interference with the control system of
the power wheelchair.
U
Do not turn ON handheld personal communication devices, such as citizens band (CB) radios
and cellular phones, while the power wheelchair is turned ON.
U
Be aware of nearby transmitters, such as radio or TV stations, and try to avoid coming close
to them;
U
If unintended movement or brake release occurs, turn the power wheelchair OFF as soon as
it is safe.
U
Be aware that adding accessories or components, or modifying the power wheelchair, may
make it more susceptible to interference from radio wave sources. (Note: There is no easy
way to evaluate the effect of radio waves on the overall immunity of the power wheelchair.)
U
Report all incidents of unintended movement or brake release to the power wheelchair ma-
nufacturer, and note whether there is a radio wave source nearby.
NOTICE
Interference from electromagnetic fields.
The power wheelchair has been tested according to
EMC regulations. The following particularities must be observed during operation:
The power wheelchair can generate electromagnetic fields that can cause interference with
other devices. Therefore the controls should be switched off when no function is required.
Despite of compliance with all applicable EMC directives and standards, the power wheelchair
can be affected by interference from other electric devices (e.g. department store EAS sy-
stems) or cause interference to such devices. If you notice such behaviour, move your power
wheelchair outside the interference range.
