Safety rules
NOTE
Recycling batteries
Used or malfunctioning batteries should be disposed of responsibly in accor-
dance with local recycling regulations.
EMC requirements
The electronics of a power wheelchair may be affected by external electro-
magnetic fields (for example from cell phones). Likewise the wheelchair elec-
tronics themselves may emit electromagnetic fields which may affect the envi-
ronment (for example alarm systems in shops).
The threshold values for Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) relating to
power wheelchairs are laid down in harmonised standards under EC Directive
93/42/EEC Medical Devices.
Permobil's power wheelchairs meet these threshold values.
