Emi / Rfi - 2GOability Boost User Manual

 Warning:
When your scooter is in freewheel mode, the park brake is released. The weight
of the scooter on a slope may cause you to lose control of the scooter. If you do
not feel capable of manually controlling your scooter down the slope, request
assistance or do not attempt to use this procedure.

4.8 EMI / RFI

The rapid development of electronics, especially in the area of communications, has
saturated our environment with electromagnetic (radio) waves that are emitted by
television transmitters, cellular phones, citizen's band radios (CBs), amateur radios
(ham radios), wireless computer links, microwave transmitters, paging transmitters,
etc. These electromagnetic (EM) waves are invisible and increase in strength the closer
one gets to the source of transmission. When these energy waves act upon electrical
devices and cause them to malfunction or to function in an erratic or uncontrolled
manner, they are referred to as Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) of Radio
Frequency Interference (RFI).
EMI / RFI and your scooter
All electrically powered vehicles, including scooters are susceptible to Electromagnetic
Interference / Radio Frequency Interference (EMI / RFI). This interference could result
in abnormal, unintended movement of your scooter.
 Warning:
Unintended movement or brake release could cause an accident or injury.
The FDA has determined that each make and model of scooter can resist EMI/ RFI to a
certain level. The higher the lever of resistance, the greater the degree of protection
from EMI/ RFI – measured in volts per meter (V/m). The FDA has also determined that
current technology is capable of providing 20 V/m of resistance to EMI/ RFI, which
would provide useful protection against common sources of interference. This product
has been tested and has passed an immunity lever of 20 V/m.
