EMI WARNING Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) from Radio Wave Sources Powered electric chairs may be susceptible to electromagnetic interference, which is a kind of interfering electromagnetic energy (EM) emitted from sources such as radio stations, TV stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, two-way radios and cellular phones.

It is possible to unintentionally bring high levels of EM energy very close to the Powerchair’s control system while using these devices.
