EMI AND WARMINGS

It is very important that you read this information regarding the possible effects of Electromagnetic Interference on your motorized wheelchair.

Powered wheelchairs and motorized scooters may be susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI), which is interfering electromagnetic energy (EM) emitted from sources such a radio stations, TV stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, two-way radios, and cellular phones. The interference (from radio wave sources) can cause the motorized chair to release its brakes, move by itself, or move in unintended directions. It can also permanently damage the motorized chair control system. The intensity of the interfering

EM energy can be measured in volts per meter (V/m). Each motorized chair can resist

EMI up to a certain intensity. This is called its "immunity level". The higher the immunity level, the greater the protection. At this time, current technology is capable of achieving at least a 20 V/m immunity level, which would provide useful protection from the more common sources of radiated EMI. This motorized chair was tested using the configuration pictured on page 4. It had an 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 these sources are obvious and easy to avoid. Others are not apparent 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 antenna mounted directly on the transmitting unit. Examples include: citizens band (CB) radios, "Walkie

talkie," security, fire, and police transceivers, cellular telephones, and other personal

communication devices.

Some cellular telephones and similar devices transmit signals while they are ON, even when not being used;

2.Medium-range mobile transceivers, such as those used in police cars, fire trucks, ambulances, and taxis. These usually have the antenna mounted on the outside of

the vehicle; and

3

HS-5600 User's Manual

3.Long-range transmitters and transceivers such as commercial broadcast transmitters

(radio and TV broadcast antenna towers) and amateur (HAM) radios.

Other types of hand-held devices, such as cordless phones, laptop computers,

AM/FM radios, TV sets, CD players, and cassette players, and small appliances, such as electric shavers and hair dryers, so far as we know, are not likely to cause EMI problems to your motorized scooter.

Motorized Chair Electromagnetic Interference ：

Because EM energy rapidly becomes more intense as one moves closer to the transmitting antenna (source), the EM fields from hand-held radio wave sources (transceivers) are of special concern. It is possible to unintentionally bring high levels of EM energy very close to the power chair control system while using these devices. This can affect power chair movement and braking. Therefore, the warnings listed below are recommended to prevent possible interference with the control system of the power chair.

Warnings ：

Electromagnetic interference (EMI) from sources such as radio and TV stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, two-way radios, and cellular phones can affect the power chair.

Following the warnings listed below should reduce the chance of unintended brake release or power chair movement, which could result in serious injury.

1.Do not operate hand-held transceivers (transmitters-receivers), such as citizens band

(CB) radios, or turn ON personal communication devices, such as cellular phones,

while the power chair 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 chair OFF as soon

as it is safe;

4.Be aware that adding accessories or components, or modifying the motorized chair,

may make it more susceptible to EMI. (Note: There is no easy way to evaluate their

effect on the overall immunity of the motorized scooter); and

5.Report all incidents of unintended movement or brake release to the distributor listed on the inside front cover of this manual. Note whether there is a source of EMI nearby.

Important Information

1.20 volts per meter (V/m) is a generally achievable and useful immunity level against EMI

(as of May 1994). The higher the level, the greater the protection.

2.The immunity level of this product is 20 V/m.

CHARGING THE BATTERIES

Your C.T.M. power chair is equipped with two sealed, service free 12V rechargeable batteries and one 24V. 5A charger. Batteries must be charged before using the chair for the first time and should be recharged after each day's use. Be sure the power switch is in the OFF position.

1.Ensure the voltage switch on the battery charger. Use 115V for 110v circuits and 230v

for 220v circuits.

(F) (E)

2.Ensure the main switch on the battery charger is OFF (position O).

3.Insert battery charger output terminal (E) into the chair charging port.

4.Plug the other end of the battery charger cable (F) into a standard electrical outlet.

Do not place battery charger on batteries or close to other objects, so that heat can dissipate.

5.Turn main switch on the battery charger to ON (position I).

6.The battery charger lights will normally be red and yellow at this point. Check whether you can hear the fan running. If the lights are not on or the fan is not running, turn OFF.

Disconnect the battery charger and check the fuse for burnout. Replace fuse if necessary.

Reconnect and try again. If it still does not work, contact your authorized dealer.

7.Allow to charge until the right battery charger light turns green.

8.After the light turns green, turn OFF battery charger, then unplug the battery charger from the chair.

9.If at any time the right battery charger light flashes green over 40 minutes, this indicates abnormal charging occurred. You should check that:

•charger plugs are correctly positioned

•fuse is not burned out

•the scooter is turned off

•if none of these is a problem, contact your authorized dealer.

The time needed to recharge will vary depending on the depletion of the batteries. Charging for longer than necessary will not harm the batteries.

They can not be overcharged.

HS-5600 User's Manual

Keep in mind these rules ：

•Fully charge batteries at lease once a month, more if you use the chair regularly. Charge

after each trip exceeding 3 kilometers (2miles).

•If storing your chair for some time, make sure that the batteries are fully charged, and

on returning, charge them again before using scooter.

•Batteries will only give maximum performance after the chair has been used, and the

batteries have been recharged up to 10 times. A bit like running in a new car.

MAINTANCE AND GENERAL CARE

MAINTANCE

All technical maintenance and repair of your chair should be done by an authorized dealer. The following areas required periodic inspection:

•Tire Pressure (for air-filled tires only)

The condition of the tires and maintenance of the specified tire pressures not only influence tire life but also road safety to a very considerable extent. Incorrect pressures are often a cause of tire problem and could result in an accident. The recommended number of tire pressure is 35 lbs.

•Tire Tread - Tire Damage

Inspect the tires frequently for damage, the presence of foreign bodies, unusual the presence of foreign bodies, unusual wear and sufficient tread depth. Tread depth should if possible not be allowed to drop below 1 mm (1/16").

•Rear Caster Wheels

If the rear caster wheels are badly worn, it is recommended that they are replaced.

•Electrical Connections

The battery terminals and all plug connectors to need to be firmly attached. If battery terminals are corroded, please contact your local dealer for replacement.

•Hardware

Make sure all fasteners are present and secure. Replace any missing fasteners and tighten any loose fasteners.

•Seat Towers

The seat should remove easily. If it does not, check the locking levers in seat release mechanism are operated correctly. Clean the seat Towers but do not lubricate.

GENERAL CARE

Please comply with the following instruction, which are intended to ensure that your chair achieves its optimum operating life.

•Clean

If your chair is dirty, use a damp or lightly soapy cloth to wipe it down. Do not use running water to wash or rinse the scooter in order to protect the electrical parts. Polish with an automotive liquid polish.

HS-5600 User's Manual

•Care of seat

The seat material used by C.T.M. is a product of high quality, and will remain in good condition for many years if correctly treated. Regular cleaning and care are needed since dust and dirt, for instance from the roads, cause severe abrasion and can lead to the surface becoming prematurely brittle. You are therefore recommended to remove dust from the surface at regular intervals with a cloth.

•Care of special components

Alloy wheels : should be treated with a suitable cleaner,. particularly in the winter months, but do not use aggressive, acid, strongly alkaline or abrasive cleaning agents or steam jets at more than 60 degree (comply with the

manufacturer's instructions for use).

Seat belts : should only be cleaned with mild soap suds (without removing then from the chair). Do not dry-clean or use chemical products, or the fabric may

be weakened.

•Store

Between uses, your scooter is best stored in a dry location.
