3. ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE (EMI)

This portion of the manual will provide the user with basic information about the problems
with EMI (electromagnetic interference), protective measures can be used to either lessen the
possibility of exposure or to minimize the degree of exposure; this section also shows some
conditions that unexpected or erratic movements may cause.
!

3.1 ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE (EMI) FROM RADIO WAVE SOURCES

Mobility scooters may be susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI), which is interfering
electromagnetic energy (EM) emitted from sources such as radio stations, TV stations, amateur
radio (HAM) transmitters, two-way radios, and cellular phones. The interference (from radio
wave sources) can cause the mobility scooter to release its brakes, move by itself, or move in
unintended directions. It can also permanently damage the mobility scooter's control system.
The intensity of the interfering EM energy can be measured in volts per meter (V/m). Each
mobility scooter can resist EMI up to a certain intensity level. The higher the immunity level
the greater the protection. At this time, current technology is capable of achieving at least a 20
V/m immunity level, which would provide useful protection from the more common sources
of radiated EMI. This mobility scooter model as shipped, with no further modification, has an
immunity level of 20 V/m without any accessories.
There are a number of sources of relatively intense electromagnetic fields in the everyday
environment. Some of these sources are obvious and easy to avoid. Others are not apparent
and exposure is unavoidable. However, we believe that by following the warning listed below,
your risk to EMI will be minimized.
The sources of radiated EMI can be broadly classified into three types:
1. Hand-held portable transceivers (transmitter-receivers with the antenna mounted
directly on the transmitting unit). Examples include: citizens band (CB) or hand held
radios, (security, fire, and police transceivers), cellular telephones and other personal
communication devices.
Note: Some cellular telephones transmit signals when they are ON but not in use.

Caution
It is very important to read this information regarding the possible electromagnet-
ic interference with your mobility scooter.
