Following the warnings listed below should reduce the chance of unintended brake release or power wheelchair movement that could result in serious injury. 1. Do not turn on hand-held personal communication devices, such as citizens band (CB) radios and cellular phones, while the power wheelchair 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 power wheelchair OFF as soon as it is safe. 4. Be aware that adding accessories or components, or modifying the power wheelchair, may make it more susceptible to interference from radio wave sources.

Radio wave sources, such as radio stations, TV stations, amateur
radio (HAM) transmitters, two-way radios and cellular phones, can
affect power wheelchairs and motorized scooters (in this text, both
will be called power wheelchairs). Following the warnings listed
below should reduce the chance of unintended brake release or
power wheelchair movement that could result in serious injury.
1.
Do not turn on hand-held personal communication devices,
such as citizens band (CB) radios and cellular phones, while
the power wheelchair 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
power wheelchair OFF as soon as it is safe.
4.
Be aware that adding accessories or components, or modifying
the power wheelchair, may make it more susceptible to
interference from radio wave sources. (Note: There is no easy
way to evaluate their effect on the overall immunity of the
power wheelchair); and
5.
Report all incidents of unintended movement or brake release
to the power wheelchair manufacturer, and note whether
there is a radio wave source nearby.
Important Information
1.
20 volts per meter (V/m) is a generally achievable and
useful immunity level against interference from radio wave
sources (as of May 1994, the higher the level, the greater
the protection).
2.
The MPV5 wheelchair has an immunity level of at least
20 V/m.
