The sources of radiated EMI can be broadly classified into three types.
1. Hand-held portable transceivers (transmitters-receivers) with the antennas
mounted directly to the transmitting unit. Examples include: Citizen band (CB)
radios, "walkie-talkie", security, fire, and police transceivers, cellular telephones
and other personal communication devices. Note: some of the above transmit
signals even when they are not being used for communication.
2. Medium range mobile transceivers, such as those used in police cars, fire trucks,
ambulances and taxis. These usually have the antenna mounted to the outside
of the vehicle; and
3. Long-range transmitters that have the antenna mounted upon a fixed tower.
Radio wave sources, such as radio stations, TV stations, amateur radio (HAM)
transmitters, two-way radios and cellular phones, can affect powered
wheelchairs and motorized scooters (in this text, both will be called pow-
ered wheelchairs). Following the warnings listed below should reduce the
chance of unintended brake release or powered wheelchair movement that
could result in serious injury.

Note: Other types of hand-held devices, such as lap-top
computers, AM/FM receivers, TV sets, CD and cassette play-
ers, and small appliances such as electric shavers and hair
dryers, as far as we know, are not likely to cause problems
to your powered wheelchair.
WARNING! Radio Wave sources may affect powered wheel-
chair control.
