WARNING
As a manufacturer of powered scooters, Invacare endeavors to supply a wide
variety of powered scooters to meet the many needs of the user. However, final
selection of the type of powered scooter to be used by an individual rests solely
with the user and his/her healthcare professional capable of making such a selection.
TIE-DOWN RESTRAINTS AND SEAT POSITIONING STRAPS
Invacare recommends that powered scooter users NOT be transported in vehicles
of any kind while in a powered scooter. As of this date, the Department of
Transportation has not approved any tie-down systems for transportation of a
user while in a powered scooter, in a moving vehicle of any type.
It is the position of Invacare that users of powered scooter should be transferred
into appropriate seating in vehicles for transportation and use be made of the
restraints made available by the auto industry. Invacare cannot and does not
recommend any powered scooter transportation systems.
AS REGARDS RESTRAINTS - SEAT POSITIONING STRAP - IT IS THE OBLIGATION OF THE
DME DEALER, THERAPISTS AND OTHER HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS TO DETERMINE
IF A SEAT POSITIONONG STAP IS REQUIRED TO ENSURE THE SAFE OPERATION OF THIS
EQUIPMENT BY THE USER. SERIOUS INJURY CAN OCCUR IN THE EVENT OF A FALL
FROM A POWERED SCOOTER.

This Procedure Includes the Following:
Operating Information
Warning/Caution Label Location
OPERATING INFORMATION
GENERAL WARNINGS
Performance adjustments should ONLY be made by professionals of the healthcare
field or persons fully conversant with this process and the driver's capabilities.
Incorrect settings could cause injury to the driver, bystanders, damage to the
powered scooter and surrounding property.
DO NOT use parts, accessories, or adapters other than those authorized by Invacare.
ELECTRICAL
Check to ensure that all electrical connections are secure at all times.
Grounding Instructions:
DO NOT, under any circumstances, cut or remove the round grounding prong from any
plug. Some devices are equipped with three-prong (grounding) plugs for protection
against possible shock hazards. Where a two-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it
is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to contact a qualified
electrician and have the two-prong receptacle replaced with a properly grounded
three-prong wall receptacle in accordance with the National Electrical Code. If you
must use an extension cord, use ONLY a three-wire extension cord having the same or
higher electrical rating as the device being connected.

BATTERIES
Only deep cycle, sealed case construction batteries should be used in this device.
Carefully read battery/battery charger information prior to installing, servicing or op-
erating your powered scooter. In addition, Invacare has placed WARNING TAGS on
batteries and IDENTIFICATIONS TAGS on battery cables. DO NOT remove these tags.
EMI WARNINGS
CAUTION: IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU READ THIS INFORMATION REGARDING THE
POSSIBLE EFFECTS OF ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE ON YOUR POWERED SCOOTER.
Electromagnetic Interference EMI From Radio Wave sources.
Powered 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 powered 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
interfering 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 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.
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, your risk to EMI will be minimized.

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. **NOTE: Some cellular telephones and
similar devices transmit signals while they are ON, even when not being used;
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.
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
EMI WARNINGS (CONTINUED)
electric shavers and hair dryers, so far as we know, are not likely to cause EMI
problems to your powered scooter.
Powered Scooter Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)
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 powered scooter's control system while
using these devices. This can affect powered scooter movement and braking.
Therefore, the warnings listed are recommended to prevent possible interference
with the control system of the powered scooter.
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) from sources such as radio and TV stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, two-way radios, and cellular phones can affect powered scooters. Following the warnings listed should reduce the chance of unintended
brake release or powered 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 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 EMI (Note: There is no easy way to
evaluate their effect on the overall immunity of the powered scooter); and
5) Report all incidents of unintended movement or brake release to the powered scooter manufacturer, and note whether there is a source of EMI nearby.
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 unknown.
