Page 45: Appendix B - Electromagnetic Interference (Emi)
Appendix B – Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) From Radio Wave Sources Powered Wheelchairs may be susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI), which is interfering electromagnetic energy (EM) emitted from sources such as radio stations, TV stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, two-way radios and cellular phones. The interference (from radio wave sources) can cause the powered wheelchair to release its brakes, move by itself, or move in unintended directions. - Page 46 turned ON. Be aware of nearby transmitters, such as radio or TV stations, and try to avoid coming close to them. If unintended movement or brake release occurs, turn the powered wheelchair OFF as soon as it is safe to do so. Be aware that adding accessories or components, or modifying the powered wheelchair, may make it more susceptible to EMI (Note: There is no easy way to evaluate their effect on the overall immunity of the powered wheelchair)
