Labelling; Electromagnetic Interference - Drive Medical Sunfire Plus EC Owner's Handbook Manual

When climbing an incline, try to keep your
powerchair moving. If you must stop, start
up again slowly, and then accelerate
cautiously. When driving down an incline,
do so slowly and in the forward direction
only. If your powerchair starts to move
faster than you anticipated or desired,
allow the chair to come to a complete
stop by releasing the joystick. Push the
joystick slightly forward and continue
travelling slowly down the incline. When
climbing an incline, do not zigzag or drive
at an angle up the face of the incline.
Always drive your Drive straight up the
incline. This greatly reduces the possibility
of a tip or a fall.
• Do not drive on roads with large drops or
potholes.
• The powerchair is not suitable for carrying
passengers.
• Do not use the powerchair to carry heavy goods.
• Do not use a mobile phone or other wireless
communication devices whilst driving. Always
stop somewhere suitable and switch off the
powerchair before using the phone.
• Do not set in freewheel mode when driving,
especially on a gradient. Ensure that the
powerchair's automatic brakes are applied
before use.
• Do not exceed the weight limit of the
powerchair.

Electromagnetic Interference

• Powerchairs may be susceptible to
electromagnetic interference (EMI) from sources
such as mobile phones, walkie-talkies, TV and
radio broadcast stations and amateur radio sets.
In some cases, there is a risk this interference
may cause involuntary movement of the
powerchair. The powerchair has been tested and
passed to withstand interference to a level of
20V per metre.
• Be aware that the above sources may cause
involuntary movement due to EMI. Exercise
caution whilst using the aforementioned devices
and avoid close proximity to TV and Radio
broadcast stations.
• The addition of components or accessories may
effect the EMI susceptibility of the powerchair.
Do not fit accessories other than Drive Medical
authorised accessories.
