Emi/Rfi - Golden Technologies Buzzaround Luxury GB119 Owner's Manual

The rapid development of electronics, especially in the area of communications, has
saturated our environment with electromagnetic (radio) waves that are emitted by
television transmitters, cellular phones, citizen's band radios (CBs), amateur radios
(ham radios), wireless computer links, microwave transmitters, paging transmitters,
etc. These electromagnetic (EM) waves are invisible and increase in strength the closer
one gets to the source of transmission. When these energy waves act upon electrical
devices and cause them to malfunction or to function in an erratic or uncontrolled
manner, they are referred to as Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) or Radio Frequency
Interference (RFI).
EMI/RFI AND YOUR BUZZAROUND LUXURY™
All electrically powered vehicles, including scooters are susceptible to Electromagnetic
Interference/Radio Frequency Interference (EMI/RFI). This interference could result in
abnormal, unintended movement of your Golden Buzzaround Luxury™.
Unintended movement or brake release could cause an accident or
injury.
The FDA has determined that each make and model of scooter can resist EMI/RFI to a
certain level. The higher the level of resistance, the greater the degree of protection
from EMI/RFI—measured in volts per meter (V/m). The FDA has also determined that
current technology is capable of providing 20 V/m of resistance to EMI/RFI, which
would provide useful protection against common sources of interference. This product
has been tested and has passed an immunity level of 20 V/m.
EMI/RFI RECOMMENDATIONS
PROHIBITED! Do not turn on or use hand-held personal electronic
communication devices such as cellular phones, walkie-talkies, and CB
radios while your scooter is turned on.
• Be aware of any nearby transmitters (radio, television, microwave, etc.) on your
intended route and avoid operating your scooter close to any of those transmitters.
• Turn off the power if your Buzzaround Luxury is going to be in a stationary position
for any length of time.
• Be aware that adding accessories or components or modifying your scooter may
make it more susceptible to EMI/RFI.
• If unintended movement or park brake release occurs, turn your scooter off as soon
as it is safe to do so.
• Report all incidents of unintended movement or park brake failure to Golden
Technologies, Inc. Technical Service at (800) 624-6374.
Turn off your scooter as soon as it is safely possible if unintended
or uncontrollable motion occurs or if unintended park brake release occurs.
