wheelchair model, as shipped, without any further modification has
a tested immunity level of at least 20 V/m. There are a number of
sources of relatively intense electromagnetic fields in the
everyday environment. Some of the sources are obvious and easy
to avoid. Others are not so obvious and exposure is unavoidable.
However, we believe that by following the warnings listed below,
your risk to EMI will be minimized.
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 may affect power wheelchair control.

Other types of hand-held devices, such as lap-top
computers, AM/FM receivers, TV sets, CD and
cassette players, and small appliances such as
electric shavers and hair dryers, as far as we know,
are not likely to cause problems to your power
wheelchair.
