EMI WARNING

ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE (EMI) FROM RADIO WAVE SOURCES

Medical Power Wheelchairs (Hereinafter referred to as “Powerchair”) may be
susceptible to elec tromagn etic interf erence (EMI ), which i s a kind of int erfering
electromagnetic energy (EM) emitted from sources such as radio stations, TV
stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, two-way radio, and cellular phones. The
interference (from radi o wav e sources) c an cause the Pow erchair to release it s brakes,
move by itself, or move in unintended directions. This
can also permanently damage the Powerchair’s control system.

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 O N, even w hen not be ing 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 vehi cl e.

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, and cassette
players, and small applianc es, such as ele ctri c shavers and hair dryers, so far
as we know, are not likely to cause problems to the Powerchair.

EMI WARNING

POWERCHAIR ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERF ERENCE (EMI)

Because EM energy rapidly becomes more intense as one moves closer to the
transmitting antenna (source), the EM fields from hand-held radio sources
(transceivers) are of special concern. It is possible to unintentionally bring high
levels of EM energy very close to the Powerchair ’s control system while using
these devices. This can affect Powerchair movement and braking. Therefore, the
warnings listed below are recommended to prevent possible interference
with the control system of the Powerchair.

WARNINGS

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 Powerchair is turned ON.

2. Be aware of nearby transmitters, such as radio or TV stations, and try to avoid
close contact.

3. If unintended movement or brake release occurs, turn the Powerchair OFF
as soon as it is safe.

4. Be aware that adding accessories or components, or modifying the Powerchair,
may make it more susceptible to EMI.

NOTE! There is no easy way to evaluate the overall immunity of the
Powerchair.

5. Report all incidents of unintended movement o r braking to the Powerchair
provider, and note whether there are sources of EMI nearby.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Please use your Powerchair often and let it expand your horizons. The more
mobility your Powerchair brings, the happier you will be! But, with all things,
observing a few rules will ensure safe maneuvering. So please…

(2)

Do not

use the joystic k i n an erratic manner when g oing up or down an

incline.
(3) Do not carry passengers or exceed the maximum user weight (Table 2).
(4) Do not turn off the joystick controller by switching the On / Off Button

when moving at speed. This will bring the electromagnetic brakes on

immediately and could cause damage to the joystick controller.
(5) Do not drive over uneven or soft terrain.
(6) Do not mount or dismount the Powerchair unless the electromagnetic

brakes are engaged and the joystick controller is off.
(7) Do not operate the Powerchair if the unit is in freewheel mode.
(8) Do not use on the road, except when crossing between sidewalks.
(9) Do not sit on the Powerchair when in a vehicle, but transfer to a vehicle seat.
(10) Do not exceed any grade over 8 degrees (14%).
(11) Always stop fully before changing forward or reverse direction.
(12) Always engage a slow speed when going down gradients (move the joystick

slowly towards center position to reduce the speed).
(13) Always approach and climb over curbs at slow speed.
(14) Always use the safety belt.
(15) Always keep feet on the footrest whil e driving.
(16) Always make sure the batteries are fully charged before setting out on a journey.
(17) Always make sure the Al len bolt and the red tig hteni ng lever s are ti ghten ed befor e

driving the Powerc hair.
(18) Always charge the Powerchair in a well ventilated area.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

(19) Whenever a center bolt of the wheel assembly has been loosened, please

replace with a specified new bolt from authorized providers and secure with a

torque of 240 ± 5 kg-cm together with Loc-tite 271 adhesive (or equivalent).
(20) When proceeding up any incline, please move the seat to the most forward

position or if you have the deluxe seat, make sure that it is in the 90 degree

(upright) position.
(21) Do not adjust the programmer or modify the controller and cables without prior

written approval from the manufacturer. Otherwise injury and/or damage to the
scooter or surrounding property may occur.

(22) Do not modify any parts on the unit without manufacturer’s written approval, or

your warranty will be voided and you will be responsible for the modification.
