III. EMI/RFI
The rapid development of electronics, especially in the area of communications, has saturated our environment with electromagnetic (radio) waves that are emitted by television transmitters, cellular phones, citizen’s band radios (CBs), amateur radios (ham radios), wireless computer links, microwave transmitters, paging transmitters, etc. These electromagnetic (EM) waves are invisible and increase in strength the closer one gets to the source of transmission. When these energy waves act upon electrical devices and cause them to malfunction or to function in an erratic or uncontrolled manner, they are referred to as Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) or Radio Frequency Interference (RFI).
EMI/RFI AND YOUR BUZZAROUND XL
All electrically powered vehicles, including scooters are susceptible to Electromagnetic Interference/Radio Frequency Interference (EMI/RFI). This interference could result in abnormal, unintended movement of your Golden Buzzaround XL.
Unintended movement or brake release could cause an accident or injury.
The FDA has determined that each make and model of scooter can resist EMI/RFI to a certain level. The higher the level of resistance, the greater the degree of protection from
EMI/RFI RECOMMENDATIONS
•Do not turn on or use
•Be aware of any nearby transmitters (radio, television, microwave, etc.) on your intended route and avoid operating your scooter close to any of those transmitters.
•Turn off the power if your Buzzaround XL is going to be in a stationary position for any length of time.
•Be aware that adding accessories or components or modifying your scooter may make it more susceptible to EMI/RFI.
•If unintended movement or park brake release occurs, turn your scooter off as soon as it is safe to do so.
•Report all incidents of unintended movement or park brake failure to Golden Technologies, Inc. Technical Service at (800)
