SHOPRJOER® scooters itS with all electric braked scooters may be susceptible to electromagnetic im:erl e rence {EMI). which
is a kmd of interfering elea.romagnedc

t o release i u brakes. move by itself. or mOYe in un.lm:encled direction. (Forward or Reverse) It can also permanently damage
the scooter's contr ol system but this would likely be at levels exceeding the Australian standard,
The intensity of the interf e ring EM I enerv can be measured in volts per meter
up to a certain uitensity. This ts calted "' immunity level
current teehnok,gy is capable of achieving 20V/M lmmunity�lwhich will provide useful proteetion from the rnc>n?common
sources of radiated EMI.
The sources of racf ca ted EMI can be broadly da.ssif,ed fflrothre-e cypes:
I.
Hand-held portable transceivers (u-ansmnters-receivers) with the antenna mounted directly on the uammming uniL
Examp+es w,dude: citizens band (CB) radios, "walkie talkie", securny, flf'e and police cransceivers, cellular relephones,
and Olher personal communication devices..
NOTE! Some c.eUular te lephones and simUar de. v ices transmit signals while they are ON, even when not
beinguse.d.
1.
Medium-ranp mobile tranKeiYers. such as those used in police cars. tve trucks. ambulances. and taxis. These usua!ly
have the a.ntenna mounted on the outside of the vehicle.
).
long-range transmitters and transceivers, such as convnerc ial broadcast transminers (radio and TV broadcast antenna
rowers) and amateur (HAM) radios..
NOTE! Other types of hand- M id devices, such as cord.1-ess phones. laptop computers, AM/FM radtoS,
TV sets. CD playen, and casse.tte players, and small appliances, such ase.le.ctric shavers and hair dryers, so
far as we know, are not likely to cause problems to the scooter.
