GENERAL GUIDELINES PROCEDURE 1
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.
5
PROCEDURE 1 GENERAL GUIDELINES
G
EMI WARNINGS (CONTINUED)
E The sources of radiated EMI can be broadly classified into three types:
N
E 1) Hand-held Portable transceivers (transmitters-receivers with the antenna mounted
R directly on the transmitting unit. Examples include: citizens band (CB) radios,
A "walkie talkie," security, fire, and police transceivers, cellular telephones, and
L other personal communication devices. **NOTE: Some cellular telephones and
similar devices transmit signals while they are ON, even when not being used;
G
U 2) Medium-range mobile transceivers, such as those used in police cars, fire
I trucks, ambulances, and taxis. These usually have the antenna mounted on
D the outside of the vehicle; and
E
L 3) Long-range transmitters and transceivers, such as commercial broadcast trans-
I mitters (radio and TV broadcast antenna towers) and amateur (HAM) radios.
N
E NOTE: Other types of hand-held devices, such as cordless phones, laptop computers,
S AM/FM radios, TV sets, CD players, cassette players, and small appliances, such as
electric shavers and hair dryers, so far as we know, are not likely to cause EMI
problems to your powered scooter.
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.
