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 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 ALANTE´™

All electrically powered vehicles, including power chairs are susceptible to EMI

/RFI. This interference could result in abnormal or unintended movement of your Golden Alante´.

The FDA has determined that each make and model of power chair can resist EMI/RFI to a certain level. The higher the level of immunity, 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 immunity to EMI/RFI, which would provide useful protection against common sources of interference.

Based on that determination, the FDA has written to the manufacturers of power wheel-chairs and asked them to test their new products to be certain that they provide a reasonable degree of immunity to EMI/RFI. The FDA suggests that power chairs should have an immunity level of 20 V/m. The resistance level of the Golden Alante´ is unknown.

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 power chair is turned on.

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

•Turn off the power if your Alante´ is going to be in a stationary position for any length of time.

•Be aware that adding accessories or components or modifying your power chair may make it more susceptible to EMI / RFI.

•If unintended movement or brake release occurs, turn your power chair 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.

TURN OFF YOUR POWER CHAIR AS SOON AS IT IS SAFELY POSSIBLE IF UNINTENDED OR UNCONTROLLABLE MOTION OCCURS OR IF UNINTENDED BRAKE RELEASE OCCURS.
