Important Information - Teknique FWD Owner's Manual

1. Do not turn on hand-held personal communication devices, such as citizens
band (CB) radios and cellular phones, while the power wheelchair is turned
ON.
2. Be aware of nearby transmitters, such as radio or TV stations and try to avoid
coming close to them.
3. If unintended movement or brake release occurs, turn the power wheelchair
OFF as soon as it is safe.
4. Be aware that adding accessories or components, or modifying the power
wheelchair, may make it more susceptible to interference from radio wave
sources. (Note: There is no easy way to evaluate their effect on the overall
immunity of the power wheelchair); and
5. Report all incidents of unintended movement or brake release to the power
wheelchair manufacturer, and note whether there is a radio wave source
nearby.

Important Information

1. 20 volts per meter (V/m) is a generally achievable and useful immunity level
against interference from radio wave sources (as of May 1994, the higher the
level, the greater the protection).
2. The Teknique wheelchair has an immunity level of at least 20 V/m.
