Each power wheelchair can resist electromagnetic interference
up to a certain intensity, which is called its immunity level and
that is measured in volts per meter (V/m). The Explorer Mini has
an immunity level of 20 V/m when tested without accessories,
which is a generally achievable and useful immunity level (as of
May 1994).
To prevent that your power wheelchair moves unintendedly
because of electromagnetic interference, follow these
instructions:
• Be careful about using hand-held personal communication
devices, such as two-way radios, citizens band radios and
cell phones, while your power wheelchair is turned on.
• Try to avoid coming close to nearby radio and TV stations.
If your power wheelchair moves unintendedly, turn it off.
Contact your nearest Permobil representative to report the
incident and note whether there was a radio wave source
nearby.
