    I I . S A F E T Y EMI & RFI Laboratory tests performed by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have shown that radio waves can cause unintended motion of electric mobility vehicles. Radio waves are a form of electromagnetic energy (EM). When EM adversely affects the operation of an electronic device, it is called Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) or Radio Frequency Interference (RFI).

    I I I . E M I / R F I Laboratory tests performed by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have shown that radio waves can cause unintended motion of Power chairs. Radio waves are a form of electromagnetic energy. When this energy ad- versely affects the operation of an electronic device, it is called Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) or Radio Frequency Interference (RFI).
  • Page 15 I I I . E M I - R F I Are all power chairs susceptible to EMI-RFI? Each make and model of chair differs in its ability to resist electromagnetic interference. That is, each has a particular level of “immunity” to interference, measured in volts per meter (Vm). A higher immunity level offers greater protection.
