EMC (EMI) WARNINGS

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

Note: Other types of hand-held 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, are not likely to cause any EMC problems to your mobility scooter.

Mobility scooter electromagnetic contamination, (EMC).

EM energy rapidly intensifies the closer one moves to the transmitting antenna, the source. Because of this it is possible to bring strong EM fields unintentionally close to your mobility scooter’s control system. Mobile hand- held radio type transceivers are of particular concern.

Whilst such devices are in use, it is possible that the EM radiation can affect the mobility scooter’s movement and braking.

The following warnings are recommended to help prevent possible interference with your mobility scooter’s control system.

1.Do not operate hand-held transceivers, such as CB radio or turn ON cellular phones, whilst your mobility scooter is turned ON.

2.Be aware of nearby radio or television transmitters and try to avoid coming too close to them.

3.If you experience unintended movement or brake release, switch your scooter OFF as soon as it is safe to do so.

4.Adding accessories, components or modifying the mobility scooter, may increase susceptibility to EMC (EMI).

Note: There is no easy way of assessing the effect of any modification on a scooters EM immunity.

5.If you experience any EMC (EMI) related incidents, please report them to your dealer, noting if there is a possible source of EM transmission nearby.
