Batteries
In addition to following the warnings below, be sure to comply with all other battery handling information. For more
information about your power chair's batteries, see VI. "Batteries and Charging."
WARNING! Power chair batteries are heavy. See specifications table. If you are unable to lift that
much weight, be sure to get help. Lifting beyond your capacity can result in personal injury.
WARNING! Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds.
Wash hands after handling.
WARNING! Always protect the batteries from freezing and never charge a frozen battery. Charging
a frozen battery may result in personal injury and/or damage to the battery.
Prescription Drugs/Physical Limitations
Users must exercise care and common sense when operating a power chair. This includes awareness of safety issues when
taking prescribed or over-the-counter drugs or when the user has specific physical limitations.
WARNING! Consult your physician if you are taking prescribed or over-the-counter medication or
if you have certain physical limitations. Some medications and limitations may impair your ability
to operate your power chair in a safe manner.
Alcohol
The power chair user must exercise care and common sense when operating his/her power chair. This includes awareness
of safety issues while under the influence of alcohol.
WARNING! Do not operate your power chair while you are under the influence of alcohol, as this
may impair your ability to operate your power chair in a safe manner.
Electromagnetic and Radio Frequency Interference (EMI/RFI)
Laboratory tests have shown that electromagnetic and radio frequency waves can have an adverse affect on the perfor-
mance of electrically-powered mobility vehicles. The 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, wireless com-
puter links, microwave signals, and paging transmitters. In some cases, these waves can cause unintended movement.
This product has been tested and has passed at an immunity level of 20 V/m.
PROHIBITED! To prevent unintended movement, turn off the power to the electrically-powered
mobility vehicle before using a cell phone, two-way radio, lap-top, or any other type of radio
transmitter.
WARNING! The electrically-powered mobility vehicle itself can disturb the performance of other
electrical devices located nearby, such as alarm systems.
NOTE: For further information on EMI/RFI, go to www.pridemobility.com. If unintended motion or
brake release occurs, turn the power chair off as soon as it is safe to do so. Call Pride at 800-424-
8205 to report the incident.
