A. CHOOSE THE RIGHT CHAIR & SAFETY OPTIONS

1.Your size, disability, strength, balance and coordination.

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).

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.

C.SOURCES OF EMI

The sources of EMI fall into three broad types:

1.Hand-Held Transceivers:

The antenna is usually mounted directly on the unit. These include: •Citizens band (CB) radios

•“Walkie-talkies”

•Security, fire and police radios •Cellular phones

•Lap-top computers with phone or fax •Other personal communication devices

NOTE– These devices can transmit signals while they are on, even if not in use.
