  • Page 11: Effects Of Electromagnetic Interference

    U Because EM energy rapidly becomes more intense as one moves closer to the transmitting antenna (source), the EM fields from handheld radio wave sources (transceivers) are of special concern. It is possible to unintentionally bring high levels of EM energy very close to the po- wer wheelchair's control system while using these devices. This can affect power wheelchair operation and braking. Skippi Ottobock | 11...

  • Page 12: Warnings Regarding Effects Of Electromagnetic Interference

    Despite of compliance with all applicable EMC directives and standards, the power wheelchair can be affected by interference from other electric devices (e.g. department store EAS sy- stems) or cause interference to such devices. If you notice such behaviour, move your power wheelchair outside the interference range. 12 | Ottobock Skippi...
