MOBILITY SCOOTER ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE (EMI) EM energy rapidly becomes more intense as one moves closer to a transmitting antenna (source). The EM fields from hand-held radio wave sources (transceivers) are of special concern. It is possible to unintentionally bring high levels of EM energy very close to the mobility scooter's control system while using these devices; this can affect your scooter's movement and braking. Therefore, the warnings listed below are recommended to prevent possible interference with the control system of a mobility scooter. Warning! Electromagnetic interference (EMI) from sources such as radio and TV stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, two-way radios, and cellular phones can affect mobility scooters. Following the warnings listed below should reduce the chance of unintended brake release or mobility scooter movement which could result in serious injuries. 1. Do not operate hand-held transceivers-receivers, such as citizens band (CB) radios, or turn ON personal communication devices, such as cellular phones, while the mobility scooters turned ON. 2. Be aware of nearby transmitters, such as radio or TV stations, and try to avoid getting close to them. 3. If unintended movement or brake release occurs, turn the mobility scooter OFF as soon as it is safe. 4. Be aware that adding accessories or components, or modifying the mobility scooter, may make it more susceptible to EMI. 5. Report all incidents of unintended movement or brake release to ActiveCare Medical, and note whether there were sources of EMI nearby. Spitfire EX 1320/1420 Owner's Manual 6

MOBILITY SCOOTER ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE (EMI)
EM energy rapidly becomes more intense as one moves closer to a transmitting antenna (source).
The EM fields from hand-held radio wave sources (transceivers) are of special concern. It is
possible to unintentionally bring high levels of EM energy very close to the mobility scooter’s
control system while using these devices; this can affect your scooter’s movement and braking.
Therefore, the warnings listed below are recommended to prevent possible interference with the
control system of a mobility scooter.
Warning!
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) from sources such as radio and TV stations, amateur
radio (HAM) transmitters, two-way radios, and cellular phones can affect mobility
scooters. Following the warnings listed below should reduce the chance of unintended
brake release or mobility scooter movement which could result in serious injuries.
1.
Do not operate hand-held transceivers-receivers, such as citizens band (CB) radios,
or turn ON personal communication devices, such as cellular phones, while the
mobility scooters turned ON.
2.
Be aware of nearby transmitters, such as radio or TV stations, and try to avoid
getting close to them.
3.
If unintended movement or brake release occurs, turn the mobility scooter OFF as
soon as it is safe.
4.
Be aware that adding accessories or components, or modifying the mobility scooter,
may make it more susceptible to EMI.
5.
Report all incidents of unintended movement or brake release to ActiveCare
Medical, and note whether there were sources of EMI nearby.
