ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE CAUTION: IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU READ THIS INFORMATION REGARDING THE POSSIBLE EFFECTS OF ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE ON YOUR POWERED WHEELCHAIR. Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) From Radio Wave Sources Powered wheelchairs and motorized scooters (in this text, both will be referred to as powered wheelchairs) may be susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI), which is interfering to electromagnetic energy (EM) emitted from sources such as radio stations, TV stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, two-way radios, and cellular phones.
- Page 10 Because EM energy rapidly becomes more intense as one moves closer to the transmitting antenna (source), the EM fields from hand -held radio wave sources (transceivers are of special concern). It is possible to unintentionally bring high levels of EM energy very close to the powered wheelchair's control system while using these devices.

- Page 15 While driving on a smooth surface you will find that at approx. 30-35 maximum angle, the unit leaves creep speed and comes to a stop. Maneuvering the power chair at full speed or encountering bumpy surfaces will cause the two safety modes to be enacted at shallower angles than those listed above.
- Page 16 Joysticks with integral actuator controls The controller has two modes of operation. One is called the “drive mode”. It is used to drive the chair. The second mode is the “actuator control mode” used to power the tilt and/or power seat actuators. While you are in the “drive mode”, the power wheelchair controls will function as explained in the basic owners man- ual for the Scout power wheel chair you have purchased.
