POWER LIFT RECLINER SERIES
ELECTROMAGNETIC AND RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE (EMI/RFI)
WARNING! Laboratory tests have shown that electromagnetic and radio frequency
waves can have an adverse effect on the performance of electrically-powered de-
vices, such as power lift recliners.
Electromagnetic and Radio Frequency Interference can come from sources such as cellular phones, mobile
two-way radios (such as walkie-talkies), radio stations, TV stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, wire-
less computer links, microwave signals, paging transmitters and medium-range mobile transceivers used by
emergency vehicles. In some cases, these waves can cause unintended movement or damage to the control
system of electrically-powered devices. The power lift recliner user can help prevent electromagnetic inter-
ference by maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF communications equipment. It
is recommended that at least 3 metres (9 feet) of distance be maintained between the power lift recliner and
any handheld equipment emitting 10 W or more of output power. Refer to the manufacturer's literature for the
handheld device to determine the maximum output power of that device.
Every electrically-powered device has an immunity (or resistance) to EMI. The higher the immunity level, the
greater the protection against EMI. Per EMC standards, this product has passed immunity testing and is rated
as a Group 1, Class B product, meaning the power lift recliner uses RF energy only for its internal function.
Therefore, its RF emissions are very low and are not likely to cause any interference in nearby electronic
equipment making the power lift recliner suitable for use in all establishments, including domestic establish-
ments and hospitals.
WARNING! Be aware that cell phones, two-way radios, laptops and other types of
radio transmitters may cause unintended movement of your electrically-powered
device due to EMI. Exercise caution when using any of these items while operating
your power lift recliner.
WARNING! The addition of accessories or components to the power lift recliner
can increase the susceptibility of the power lift recliner to EMI. Do not modify your
power lift recliner in any way not authorised by Pride.
WARNING! Your power lift recliner itself can disturb the performance of other elec-
trical devices located nearby, such as alarm systems.
NOTE: If unintended motion occurs, discontinue use of the power lift recliner. Contact Pride to
report the incident.
SHIPPING AND DELIVERY
Before using your power lift recliner, make sure your delivery is complete as some components may be pack-
aged individually. If you do not receive a complete delivery, please contact your authorised Pride Dealer im-
mediately. Where damage has occurred during transport, either to the packaging or content, please contact
the delivery company responsible.
MOTOR VEHICLE TRANSPORT
If you will be transporting your power lift recliner in a motor vehicle, individual components (external trans-
former, etc.) should be secured against slipping. The power lift recliner itself must also be secured against
slipping (a possible hazard during vehicle braking).
