  • Page 14: Emi/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 adversely 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.
