IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS

2

•Only one person at a time can ride a C.T.M. Mobility Scooter.

•Maximum load is 135 kg/300 pounds.

•Turn key off before getting on or off.

•Always drive carefully and be aware of others using the same area as yourself.

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

•Do not drive on slopes exceeding a 1 in 4, 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, downhill, uneven surfaces, and

curb climbing.

•Scooter may not operate well in high humidity.

•

If you are caught in the rain, it is handy to carry a scooter canopy. This can offer complete

protection for yourself and the scooter.

•Never put scooter in neutral on slopes.

•Follow traffic laws when you ride outside.

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 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 motorized scooter

.

ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE
AND WARNINGS

3

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

effects of Electromagnetic Interference on your motorized scooter.

Powered wheelchairs and motorized scooters may be susceptible to electromagnetic
interference (EMI), which is interfering electromagnetic energy (EM) emitted from sources
such a radio stations, TV stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, two-way radios, and
cellular phones. The interference (from radio wave sources) can cause the motorized
scooter to release its brakes, move by itself, or move in unintended directions. It can also
permanently damage the motorized scooter control system. The intensity of the interfering
EM energy can be measured in volts per meter (V/m). Each motorized scooter can resist
EMI up to certain intensity. This is called its "immunity level." The higher the immunity level,
the greater the protection. 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. This immunity level of this motorized scooter model is not known.

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.

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;

There is no easy way to evaluate their effect on the overall immunity of

the motorized scooter.

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

Motorized Scooter Electromagnetic Interference：

Electromagnetic interference (EMI) from sources such as radio and TV stations, amateur
radio (HAM) transmitters, two-way radios, and cellular phones can affect motorized scooters.
Following the warnings listed below should reduce the chance of unintended brake release
or motorized scooter 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 motorized scooter 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 motorized scooter OFF as

soon as it is safe;

4.Be aware that adding accessories or components, or modifying the motorized scooter,

may make it more susceptible to EMI; and

Warnings：

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.

This product has an immunity level of at least 10 V/m.

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.
