2-6 ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE AND WARNINGS
It is very important that you read this information regarding the possible effects of Electromagnetic Interference on your mobility scooter.
Mobility 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 mobile phones. The interference
(from radio wave sources) can cause the mobility scooter to release its brakes, move by itself, or move in unintended directions. It can also permanently damage the mobility scooter control system. The intensity of the interfering EM energy can be measured in volts per meter (V/m). Each mobility scooter can resist EMI up to 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. The immunity level of this mobility scooter model is not known.
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, mobile phones, and other personal communication devices.
6
HS268M
User Manual
Some mobile phones 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.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 mobility scooter.
Mobility Scooter Electromagnetic Interference :
Because EM energy rapidly becomes more intense as one move 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 motorized scooter control system while using these devices. This can affect mobility scooter movement and braking. Therefore, the warnings listed below are recommended to prevent possible interference with the control system of the mobility scooter.
Warnings :
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) from sources such as radio and TV stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, two-way radios, and mobile phones can affect mobility scooters.
Following the warnings listed below should reduce the chance of unintended brake release or mobility scooter 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 mobile phones, while the mobility scooter 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 mobility scooter OFF as soon as it is safe;
4.Be aware that adding accessories or components, or modifying the mobility scooter, may make it more susceptible to EMI; and
There is no easy way to evaluate their effect on the overall immunity of the mobility scooter.
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 at least 20/Vm.
