obvious and easy to avoid. Others are not apparent and exposure is unavoidable. However, we believe that by following the warnings listed below, your risk to EMI will be minimized.

The sources of radiated EMI can be broadly classified into three types:

1.Handheld Portable transceivers (transmittersreceivers with the antenna mounted directly on the transmitting unit. Examples include: citizens band (CB) radios, “walkie talkie”, security, fire and police transceivers, cellular telephones, and other personal communication devices).

Some cellular telephones and similar devices transmit signals while they are ON, even when not being used.

2.Medium range mobile transceivers, such as those used in police cars, fire trucks, ambulances and taxis. These usually have the antenna mounted on the outside of the vehicle; and

3.Long range transmitters and transceivers, such as commercial broadcast transmitters (radio and TV broadcast antenna towers) and amateur (HAM) radios.

Other types of handheld devices, such as cordless phones, laptop computers, AM/FM radios, TV sets, CD players, cassette players, and small appliances, such as electric shavers and hair dryers, so far as we know, are not likely to cause EMI problems to your personal transporter.

Personal Transporter Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)

Because EM energy rapidly becomes more intense as one moves closer to the transmitting antenna (source), the EM fields from handheld radio wave sources (transceivers) are of special concern. It is possible to unintentionally bring high levels of EM energy very close to the personal transporter's control system while using

Safety Handling

these devices. This can affect personal transporter movement and braking. Therefore, the warnings listed below are recommended to prevent possible interference with the control system of the personal transporter.

Electromagnetic interference (EMI) from sources such as radio and TV stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, two-way radios, and cellular phones can affect the personal transporter.

Following the warnings listed below should reduce the chance of unintended brake release or personal transporter movement which could result in serious injury.
