ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE (EMI) FROM RADIO WAVE SOURCES

Medical Power Wheelchairs (Hereinafter referred to as “Powerchair”) may be

susceptible t o electromagnetic interferenc e (EMI), which is a kind of

interfe ring 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 radio wave sources) can cause the Powerchair to

release its 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 ta lkie”, securit y, fire and police tr ansceivers, ce llula r

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 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 appliances, such as electric shavers and hair dryers, so

far as we know, are not likely to cause problems to the Powerchair.

POWERCHAIR 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 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 or braking to the P ow e r ch a ir

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

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…

(1) Do not drive the Powerchair without reading this instruction manual.

(2)

Do not

use the joystick in an erratic manner when going 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

im me di ate ly and co ul d cau se dam age to the jo ys tic k con tr ol le r.

(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 while driving.

(16) Always make sure the batteries are fully charged before setting out on a journey.

(17) Always make sure the Allen bolt and the red tightening levers are tightened before

driving the Powerchair.

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

(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.

(23) Charge the batteries before using and charge batteries daily after use.

(24) Battery cables must be securely fastened onto battery terminals by the

authorized dealer before using the unit. Batteries must be tied down correctly

and securely.

(25) Use caution and reduce speed when turning.

(26) Avoid using the powerchair in wet conditions.

(27) Always make sure the seat post tightening levers have been tightened before

driving the powerchair.

(28) Do not use the powerchair as a seat in any vehicle.

Re memb er! Give consideration to ped estri ans wheneve r using the

Powerchair. You are a motorized pedestrian and must observe all rules and

regulations of other pedestrians wherever possible.
