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 (AM radios), wireless computers 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 AVENGER™

All electrically powered vehicles, including scooters are susceptible to EMI / RFI. This interference could result in abnormal, or unintended movement of your Golden Avenger™.

WARNING: 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 – measured in volts per meter (V/M). The FDA has also determined that current technology is capable of providing 20 V/M of resistance to EMI/RFI, which would provide useful protection against common sources of interference. The resistance level of the Golden Avenger™ is not known.

EMI / RFI RECOMMENDATIONS

•Do not turn on or use hand-held personal electronic communication devices such as cellular phones, walkie-talkies, or CB radios while your scooter is turned on.

•Be aware of any nearby transmitters (radio, television, microwave, etc.) on your intended route and avoid operation your of scooter close to any of those transmitters.

•Turn off the power if your Avenger™ 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 brake release occurs, turn your scooter off as soon as it is safe to do so.

•Report all incidents of unintended movement or brake failure to your Golden Technologies representative or to Golden Technologies.

WARNING: TURN OFF YOUR SCOOTER AS SOON AS IT IS SAFELY POSSIBLE IF UNINTENDED OR UNCONTROLLABLE MOTION OCCURS OR IF UNINTENDED BRAKE RELEASE OCCURS.
