2.4 EMI

1. Scooters may be susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI) from sources such as

mobile phones, walkie-talkies, TV and radio broadcast stations and amateur radio sets. In

some cases, there is a risk this interference may cause involuntary movement of the scooter.

The scooter has been tested and passed to withstand interference to a level of 20V per metre.

2. Be aware that the above sources may cause involuntary movement due to EMI. Exercise

caution whilst using the aforementioned devices and avoid close proximity to TV and Radio

broadcast stations.

3. The addition of components or accessories may affect the EMI susceptibility of the scooter. Do

not fit accessories other than Drive Medical authorised accessories.

Note: Other types of hand-held devices, such as cordless phones, laptop computers, AM/FM
radios, TV sets, CD player, 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 powered
scooter.
