- Page 10 Fold & Go Model 760 PowerChair Owner’s Manual • If an unintended movement should occur while operating the PowerChair, turn the PowerChair “off” as soon as it is safe to do so. • Be aware that if you do operate any electrically powered accessories, radios, cellular phones, or other devices, that your power chair may become more susceptible to interference from outside electromagnetic sources.
