EMI Warning

Electromagnetic Interface (EMI) From Radio Wave Sources

Powered motorized 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 a powered scooter to release its brakes, move by itself or move in
unintended directions. It also can permanently damage the powered scooter's
control system.

The sources of radiated EMI can be classified broadly into three types:

1. Hand-held portable transceivers (transmitters-receivers) with an antenna

mounted directly on the transmitting unit. Examples include: citizens band
(CB) radios, "walkie-talkies", 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.

3. Long-range transmitters and transceivers, such as commercial broadcast

transmitters (radio and TV antenna towers) and amateur (HAM) radios.
**NOTE: So far as we know, 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 electric shavers and hair
dryers, are not likely to cause 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 sources
(transceivers) are of special concern. It is possible, unintentionally, to 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 below are recommended to prevent possible
interference with the control system of the powered scooter.

Warnings

The warnings listed below 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 to do so.

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 the overall immunity of the powered scooter.)

5. Report all incidents of unintended movement or brake to the powered scooter

dealer, and note whether there are sources of EMI nearby.

Features

Tiller Adjustment

The tiller of your scooter is uniquely designed to allow you to
position it to a comfortable driving position.

Your scooter’s tiller is very versatile, and can be adjusted to
five different positions. To decide which position best fits your
needs, carefully release the red lever that is located on the left
side, at the base of tiller, and gently lower or raise the tiller.
Once you are satisfied with the position of the tiller, simply lock
the red lever and the tiller will automatically lock for your
safety.

Lights

Your scooter comes complete with a full light package. This package includes
front headlights, left and right turn signals plus a hazard light for emergencies.

Front Headlights – To turn on and off your front headlight, simply press the
round blue button located on the right side of the tiller, just under your forward
lever. To shut off the headlight, press the blue button again.

Left and Right Turn Signals – When making a turn always use your left and
right turn signals. The turn signal switch is located on the top of your tiller just
below your speed dial control. Simply flip the switch to the right or left to activate
your turn signals. When done turning, just flip the switch back to its center
position.

Hazard Lights – If your scooter breaks down or you need assistance, press the
red button located on the right side of the tiller, just under the forward lever. Once
you have received assistance, press the red button again to turn it off.

Adjusting Your Scooter Seat

Your scooter has a fully adjustable seat for your comfort. Your deluxe captain
seat will recline, slide up and back, and will swivel for your convenience.
