EMI WARNING

 

 
Shoprider® scooters may be susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI), which is 
a  kind  of  interfering  electromagnetic  energy (EM)  emitted  from  sources  such  as  radio 
stations,  TV  stations,  amateur  radio  (HAM)  transmitters,  two-way  radio,  and  cellular 
phones.  The interference (from radio wave sources) can cause the scooter to release 
its  brakes,  move  by  itself,  or  move  in  unintended  directions.    It  can  also  permanently 
damage the scooter’s control system. 
 
The sources of radiated EMI can be broadly classified into three types: 
 
1.  Hand-held  portable  transceivers  (transmitters-receivers)  with  the  antenna  mounted 

directly  on  the  transmitting  unit.    Examples  include:  citizens  band  (CB)  radios, 
“walkie  talkie”,  security,  fire  and  police  transceivers,  cellular  telephones,  and  other 
personal communication devices. 

 

NOTE!  Some cellular telephones and similar devices transmit signals while they 
are ON, even when not being used. 

 
2.    Medium-range  mobile  transceivers,  such  as  those  used  in  police  cars,  fire  trucks, 

ambulances, and taxis.  These usually have the antenna mounted on the outside of 
the vehicle. 

 
3.  Long-range  transmitters  and  transceivers,  such  as  commercial  broadcast 

transmitters (radio and TV broadcast antenna towers) and amateur (HAM) radios. 

 

NOTE!    Other  types  of  hand-held  devices,  such  as  cordless  phones,  laptop 
computers,  AM/FM  radios, TV  sets,  CD players,  and  cassette  players,  and  small 
appliances, such as electric shavers and hair dryers, so far as we know, are not 
likely to cause problems to the scooter. 

 

Scooter Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) 
 

Because  EM  energy  rapidly  becomes  more  intense  as  one  moves  closer  to  the 
transmitting antenna (source), the EM fields from hand-held radio sources (transceivers) 
are of special concern.  It is possible to unintentionally bring high levels of EM energy 
very  close  to  the  scooter’s  control  system  while  using  these  devices.   This  can  affect 
scooter  movement  and  braking.    Therefore,  the  warnings  listed  below  are 
recommended to prevent possible interference with the control system of the scooter.
