ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE (EMI)
The rapid development of electronics, especially in the area of communications, has saturated our environment with electromagnetic (EM) radio waves that are emitted
by television, radio and communication signals. These EM waves are invisible, and their strength increases as one approach the source. All electrical conductors act as antennas to the EM signals and, to varying degrees, all power scooters and scooters are susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI). The interference could result in abnormal, unintentional movement and/or erratic control of the vehicle. The United States Food and drug Administration (FDA) suggests that the following statement
be incorporated to the user’s manual for all power scooter like the S26. Power scooters may as susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI), which is interfering
electromagnetic energy emitted from sources such as radio stations, TV stations, amateur radio (HAN) transmitter, two‐way radios, cellular phones and alarm systems
of shops. The interference (from radio wave sources) can cause the power scooter to release its brakes, move by itself or move in unintended directions. It can also
permanently damage the powered scooter’s control system. The intensity of the EM energy can be measured in volts per meter (V/m).Each powered scooter can resist EMI up to a certain intensity. This is called “ immunity level”. The higher the immunity level the greater the protection. Atthis time, current technology is capable of
providing at least 20 V/m of immunity level, which would provide useful protection against common sources of radiated EMI. Following the warnings listed below should reduce the chance of unintended brake release or powered scooter movement that could result in serious injury:
1. Do not turn on hand‐held personal communication devices such as citizens band (CB) radios and cellular phones while the powered 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 powered scooter off as soon as it is safe.
4. Be aware that adding accessories or components, or modifying the powered scooter, may make it more susceptible to interference from radio wave sources
(Note: It is difficult to evaluate the effect on the overall immunity of the powered scooter).
5. Report all incidents of unintended movement or brake release to the powered scooter manufacturer and note whether there is a radio wave source nearby.
TURN OFF YOUR POWERED SCOOTER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE WHEN EXPERIENCING THE FOLLOWING:
• Unintentional scooter movements.
• Unintended or uncontrollable direction.
• Unexpected brake release.
The FDA has written to the manufacturers of power scooters asking them to test new products to be sure they provide a reasonable degree of immunity against EMI.
The FDA requires that a powered scooter should have an immunity level at least 20 V/m, which provides a reasonable degree of protection against more common sources of EMI. The higher the immunity level the greater the protection. Your powered scooter has an immunity level of 20 V/m which should protect against common sources of EMI.
• The scooter itself can disturb the performance of the electromagnetic fields such as emitted by alarm systems of shops.

When installing batteries, please do not use sealed containers. Use of sealed containers may cause explosions, fires, injury, or
equipment damage.
Do not place batteries in enclosed environments or near open flames. Batteries may produce hydrogen which can cause explosions
or fires.
Do not use metal wires to connect batteries and prevent tools from making short circuit between batteries terminals. This can cause
fire or cause the battery to leak acid, overheat, or explode.
Do not transport or store batteries together with tools or metal wire. This can cause fire or cause the battery to leak acid, overheat,
or explode.
Charge batteries using specified chargers or as directed by the manufacturer. Charging batteries by any other methods can lead to
overheating, excessive hydrogen leaks, acid leaks, or explosions.
Pliers, torque wrenches and other metal tools should be insulated with PVC tape before use. Failure to do so could cause short
circuits which could lead to sparking or high temperature which could cause fire, damage or explosions of the battery.
Page 23
Ensure that short circuits is not formed between the positive and negative terminals. Short circuits may lead to leaks, fires,
or explosions.
Do not use these batteries together with different type of the batteries such as Ni-MH or Ni-Cd and so on. It could lead to
leaks, overheating, or explosions of the batteries, and human injury.
If the battery catches on fire, please use dry powder fire extinguisher or carbon dioxide fire extinguisher. Do not use water to
fire fighting.
Do not expose batteries to heat or flames. This can cause leakage, fire, or explosion of the batteries.
Do not dismantle, modify, or damage batteries. This can cause leakage, fire, or explosion of batteries. Replace batteries within the period recommended in battery user manual or indicated on the equipment. Overuse may cause
internal short circuits or battery case damage which can lead to leakage, fire, or explosion of the batteries.
When installing batteries, ensure that positive and negative polarity is correct. Connection with incorrect polarity can lead to
excess current, fire, and damage to chargers.
Batteries contain dilute sulfuric acid. Any acid leaked from damaged batteries should be immediately rinsed from clothing
or skin. If acid comes in contact with eyes, rinse with a large quantity of water and seek medical attention immediately. Acid
can burn skin and can cause blindness.
Batteries showing signs of terminal corrosion, leakage, distortion of battery case, or any other abnormalities should not be
used. Continued use could result in leakage, fire, or explosion of the batteries.
Do not use or store batteries near transformers or other heat sources, inside of the car left outside, in direct sunlight, or in
other high temperature environments. Doing so can lead to increased battery temperature, which can cause leakage, fire, or explosion.
When installing batteries in metal enclosures, fill the space between the battery and enclosure with acid resistant, heat
resistant insulating materials, to avoid contact between the battery and the enclosure. Batteries with acid leakage can create smoke and flames.
When handling batteries wear rubber gloves and rubber shoes. Failure to do so can lead to electric shock, burns, or fire. Do not place batteries where they might be exposed to water as an electric leak may cause electric shock, or fire.
Do not position batteries at more than 90° from the upright position as this can lead to leakage, fire, or explosion.
Do not clean batteries with dry cloths or feather dusters as this can produce static electricity and cause explosions. Use damp
cloths only.
Attach all required insulator caps to battery terminals and link as specified. Failure to do so may result in electric shock, burns,
short circuit, battery damage, fire, or explosion.
When used in medical equipment, it should be equipped with not only this battery systems but another different backup system.
Failure to do so could lead to injury in the event of this battery system failure.
Do not directly connect batteries to power outlets or automobile cigarette lighter socket. This can lead to burns or overheating.

Use batteries in the following temperature range. Discharge (equipment in use): 5F~122F; Charge: 32F~104F; Storage: 5F~104F. Do not apply thinner, gasoline, benzine, lubricants, fats, or any other organic solvents or detergents. This may lead to the crack of the battery case, leakage,
and fire.
Batteries should be checked regularly. Batteries not conforming to specifications listed in the user’s manual should be adjusted following user’s manual.
Continued use without adjustment could lead to damage or burns.
Used batteries can be recycled. Do not dispose of directly without consulting sales company or our agents.
When cleaning and inspecting batteries, first discharge static electricity from your body. Static electricity can cause sparks which can lead to explosions.
Batteries’ maximum discharge current should not exceed the specifications in the user’s manual. Excessive discharge current can cause leakage, overheating, and explosion. Immediately after purchase, if any rust, cracks, deformities, overheating, or any other abnormality is discovered, discontinue use and contact the sales
company. Continued use could result in leakage, overheating, or explosion.
When using multiple batteries at the same time, the batteries themselves should be properly connected before they are connected to the charger or load.
Firmly connect the positive terminal of the battery to the positive terminal of the charger or load. Incorrect polarity can lead to explosions or fires harming the batteries or equipment and can cause injury to humans.
Do not bump, drop, or strike batteries. Batteries should not be used in environments subject to strong vibration as these can damage the batteries. Do not use batteries in dusty environments as this can lead to short circuits (if batteries must be used in dusty environments they should be periodically
inspected).
Do not use batteries from different manufacturers in the same string. Small differences between the batteries can affect operational stability and can
significantly reduce battery life and lead to deformation and overheating.
In case suitable batteries spec for the equipment is not known, consult with the manufacturer prior to use.
In case of long periods of non-use, disconnect batteries from equipment. Batteries are heavy; care should be taken when handling to avoid back injury. Battery powered equipment should be separated by the distances specified in manuals or on labels in order to prevent failure. In certain cases the minimum
distances are specified by laws.
Battery powered equipment should be inspected as specified in the user manual; except when inspections are regulated by law. For details please consult the
manufacturer.
Battery powered equipment requires special power distribution cabling set up that should be performed by professionals. In certain countries the work must
be done by nationally certified electrical engineers.
Certain countries have laws covering battery powered equipment that must comply with.
Do not use batteries except for specified application. Inappropriate use could lead to leakage, fire, or explosion.
To avoid making leak circuit by the acid leaked from batteries, take preventive measure on the circuit or place an insulating layer or insulating tray between
the batteries and the frame.
