    EMI Warning Electromagnetic Interface (EMI) From Radio Wave Sources Powered motorized 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 a powered scooter to release its brakes, move by itself or move in unintended directions.
  • Page 5 Warnings The warnings listed below should reduce the chance of unintended brake release or powered scooter movement, which could result in serious injury. 1. Do not operate hand-held transceivers (transmitters-receivers) such as citizens band (CB) radios, or turn on personal communication devices, such as cellular phones, while the powered scooter is turned ON.

    Features Tiller Adjustment The tiller of your scooter is uniquely designed to allow you to position it to a comfortable driving position. Your scooter’s tiller is very versatile, and can be adjusted to five different positions.
