2.Your intended use, and your level of activity.

3.The types of hazards you must overcome in daily use (in areas where you are likely to use your chair).

4.The need for options for your safety and comfort (such as positioning belts or special seat systems).

You need to work with your doctor, nurse or therapist, and your supplier, to fit this chair and adjust the controller settings for your level of function and ability.

Heed all warnings to reduce the risk of unintended brake release or chair movement:

1.Beware of the danger from hand-held transceivers. Never turn on or use a hand-held transceiver while power to your chair is on. Use extra care if you believe that such a device may be in use near your chair.

2.Be aware of nearby radio or TV stations, and avoid coming close to them.

3.If unintended movement occurs, turn your chair off as soon as it is safe to do so.

A. WHAT IS EMI?

1.EMI means: electromagnetic (EM) interference (I). EMI comes from radio wave sources such as radio transmitters and transceivers. (A “transceiver” is a device that both sends and receives radio wave signals).

2.There are a number of sources of intense EMI in your daily environment. Some of these are obvious and easy to avoid. Others are not, and you may not be able to avoid them.

3.Powered wheelchairs may be susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI) emitted from sources such as radio stations,TV stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, two way radios, and cellular phones.

4.EMI can also be produced by conducted sources or electro-static discharge (ESD).

B. WHAT EFFECT CAN EMI HAVE?

1.EMI can cause your chair, without warning, to:

•Release its brakes

•Move by itself

•Move in unintended directions

If any of these occurs, it could result in severe injury to you or others.

2.EMI can damage the control system of your chair.This could create a safety hazard, and lead to costly repairs.
