IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS

2

•Only one person at a time can ride a C.T.M. Power chair.

•Maximum load is 115 kg / 253 lbs.

•Turn off the power before getting on or off your power chair.

•

Always drive carefully with your feet on the footplate and be aware of others in your area.

•Always use pedestrian crossings where possible. Take extreme care crossing roads.

•Do not drive on slopes exceeding 6 degrees, and take extreme care when turning

on slopes.

•Do not use full power when turning sharp corners.

•Take great care and use low speeds for backing up, riding downhill, over uneven

surfaces and curb climbing.

•The power chair may not operate well in high humidity.

•Never put your power chair in neutral on slopes.

•Follow all traffic laws when you ride in the vicinity of public roads.

ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE
AND WARNINGS

3

CAUTION: It is very important that you read this information regarding the possible

effects of Electromagnetic Interference on your power chair.

Powered wheelchairs and motorized scooters may be susceptible to electromagnetic
interference (EMI), which is interfering electromagnetic energy (EM) emitted from sources
such as radio stations, TV stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, two-way radios,
and cellular phones. The interference (from radio wave sources) can cause the power
chair to release its brakes, move by itself, or move in unintended directions. It can also
permanently damage the power chair control system. The intensity of the interfering
EM energy can be measured in volts per meter (V/m). Each power chair can resist EMI
up to a certain intensity. This is called its "immunity level."

The higher the immunity level,
the greater the protection will be. At this time, current technology is capable of achieving
at least a 20 V/m immunity level, which would provide useful protection from the more
common sources of radiated EMI.

The immunity level of this product is 20 (V/m).

There are a number of sources of relatively intense electromagnetic fields in the everyday
environment. Some of these sources are 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.

Some cellular telephones and similar devices transmit signals while

they are ON, even when not being used.

Electromagnetic Interference and Warnings：

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

1.Hand-held portable transceivers (transmitters-receivers) 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.

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.

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

Because EM energy rapidly becomes more intense as one moves closer to the transmitting
antenna (source), the EM fields from hand-held radio wave sources (transceivers) are of
special concern. It is possible to unintentionally bring high levels of EM energy very close
to the power chair control system while using these devices. This can affect power chair
movement and braking. Therefore, the warnings listed below are recommended to prevent
p

ossible interference with the control system of the power chair

.

Other types of hand-held devices, such as cordless phones, laptop
computers, AM/FM radios, TV sets, CD players, and 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 power chair.

Power Chair Electromagnetic Interference：

Warnings

Electromagnetic interference (EMI) from sources such as radio and TV stations, amateur
radio (HAM) transmitters, two-way radios, and cellular phones can affect the power chair.
Following the warnings listed below should reduce the chance of unintended brake release
or power chair movement, which could result in serious injury.

1.Do not operate hand-held transceivers (transmitters-receivers), such as citizens band

(CB) radios, or turn ON personal communication devices, such as cellular phones,

while the power chair is turned ON;

2.Be aware of nearby transmitters, such as radio or TV stations, and try to avoid coming
close to them;

3.If unintended movement or brake release occurs, turn the power chair OFF as soon
as it is safe;

4.Be aware that adding accessories or components, or modifying the power chair, may
make it more susceptible to EMI; and

5.Report all incidents of unintended movement or brake release to the distributor listed

on the inside front cover of this manual. Note whether there is a source of EMI nearby.

Electromagnetic Interference and Warnings：

Important Information

1.20 volts per meter (V/m) is a generally achievable and useful immunity level against EMI
(as of May 1994). The higher the level, the greater the protection.

2.The immunity level of this product is 20 (V/m).
