3. Medium-Range Mobile Transceivers:

These include two-way radios used in police cars, fire trucks,
ambulances and taxi cabs. The antenna is usually mounted on the
outside of the vehicle.

4. Long-Range Transceivers:

These include commercial radio and TV broadcast antenna towers
and amateur (HAM) radios.

NOTE–

The following are not likely to cause EMI problems: Lap-

top computers (without phone or fax), Cordless phones, TV sets
or AM/FM radios, CD or tape players.

D. DISTANCE FROM THE SOURCE

WARNING

Electro-magnetic energy rapidly becomes more intense as you get
closer to the source. For this reason, EMI from hand-held devices
is of special concern.

(See Section C.1)

A person using one of

these devices can bring high levels of EM energy very close to your
chair without you knowing it.

CAUTION -

If using Bluetooth, the user might experience inter-

ference or loss of connection if the wheelchair is within 1 meter
of a wireless router.

For additional detail regarding the recommended separation dis-
tance between radio frequency communication equipment and this
product, see Appendix Table 4 (Recommended separation distance
between portable and mobile RF communications equipment and
the product)

E. IMMUNITY LEVEL

WARNING

1. The level of EM is measured in volts per meter (V/m). Every

power wheelchair can resist EMI up to a certain level. This is
called its “immunity level”.

2. The higher the immunity level, the less the risk of EMI. It is

believed that a 20 V/m immunity level will protect the
power wheelchair user from the more common sources of
radio waves.

3. The common configuration tested and found to be immune

to at least 20 V/m is: Quickie Pulse power wheelchair with a
right-hand mounted RNET remote joystick system, 18" seat
width, 18" seat depth, dual post height adjustable armrests,
fixed tapered legrests with a two piece footplate, and Gp 22
gel cell batteries.

4. All After Market input device options, classified as breath con-

trols, Proportional controls, and/or Switched controls that
can be used with this powerchair, have an unknown effect on
their immunity level to different types of EMI. They have not
been specifically tested with the Pulse 5/6 and RNET control
system.

5. All modifications required for the common configuration to com-

ply with ANSI/RESNA WC2/21 have been installed

WARNING

If there is any doubt that the specialty control input device is not
immune to 20V/m, extra care should be taken around known
sources of EMI.

WARNING

There is no way to know the effect on EMI if you add accessories
or modify this chair. Any change to your chair may increase the
risk of EMI. Parts not specifically tested or parts from other suppli-
ers have unknown EMI properties. For additional detail regarding
the testing and use of this product with respect to electromagnetic
immunity, see Appendix, Tables 2 and 3 (Guidance and manufac-
turers declaration - electromagnetic Immunity)

F. REPORT ALL SUSPECTED EMI
INCIDENTS

WARNING

You should promptly report any unintended movement or brake
release. Be sure to indicate whether there was a radio wave
source near your chair at the time. Contact:

Sunrise Medical, Customer Service Department at (800) 333-4000.

G. EMI FROM CHAIR

WARNING

The chair itself can disturb the performance of electromagnetic
fields such as emitted by alarm systems of shops. For additional
detail regarding the testing and use of this product with respect to
electromagnetic emissions, see Appendix, Table 1 (Guidance and
manufacturers declaration - electromagnetic emissions)

HEAD ARRAY SAFETY AND RFI

WARNING

If you have a Head-array, the sensors used in the product have the
potential to operate unintentionally if moisture or any substance
that is electrically conductive is present in sufficient quantities.

Electro magnetic interference from electrical power lines and cer-
tain types of phones can cause the sensors to activate.

These sensors are capacitive in nature, and can generate an elec-
tronic field, which can be affected by liquids and/or a source of
radio frequency Interferance (RFI). Any material that is conductive
has the potential to activate the Head-array unintentionally.

Avoid

use under high power lines and around cell phones.

Avoid

the use of a Head Array in rain or snow and protect against

the potential of spilled liquids on the sensors.

Avoid

cell phones and electronic devices in proximity to the array.

Avoid

any source that has the potential of (RFI).

Warn

the user of this chair that the chair controls have the poten-

tial of acting erractically or making sudden stops, if (RFI) is not
avoided.
