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.
Powered Chair Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) Because EM energy rapidly becomes more intense the closer one moves to the transmitting antenna (source), the EM fields from hand- held radio sources (transceivers) are of special concern. It is possible to unintentionally bring high levels of EM energy very close to the Powerchair’s control system while using these devices.
