ELECTROMAGNETIC AND RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE (EMI/RFI)
WARNING! Laboratory tests have shown that electromagnetic and radio frequency
waves can have an adverse affect on the performance of electrically-powered
devices, such as lift chairs.
Electromagnetic and Radio Frequency Interference can come from sources such as cellular phones, mobile
two-way radios (such as walkie-talkies), radio stations, TV stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, wireless computer links, microwave signals, paging transmitters, and medium-range mobile transceivers used by
emergency vehicles. In some cases, these waves can cause unintended movement or damage to the control
system of electrically-powered devices. Every electrically-powered device has an immunity (or resistance) to
EMI. The higher the immunity level, the greater the protection against EMI. Per EMC standards, this product
has passed immunity testing and is suitable for use in all establishments, including domestic establishments.
WARNING! Be aware that cell phones, two-way radios, laptops, and other types of
radio transmitters may cause unintended movement of your electrically-powered
device due to EMI. Exercise caution when using any of these items while operating
your lift chair .
WARNING! The addition of accessories or components to the lift chair can increase
the susceptibility of the chair to EMI. Do not modify your lift chair in any way not
authorized by Pride.
WARNING! Y our lift chair itself can disturb the performance of other electrical devices
located nearby , suc h as alarm systems.
NOTE: If unintended motion occurs, discontinue use of the lift c hair. Contact Pride to report the incident.
SHIPPING AND DELIVERY
Before using your lift chair, make sure your delivery is complete as some components may be packaged
individually. If you do not receive a complete delivery, please contact your authorized Pride Provider immediately. Where damage has occurred during transport, either to the packaging or content, please contact the
delivery company responsible.
MOT OR VEHICLE TRANSPORT
If you will be transporting your lift chair in a motor vehicle, individual components (external transformer, etc.)
should be secured against slipping. The lift chair itself must also be secured against slipping (a possible
hazard during vehicle braking).
