NOTE: 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, as far as
we know, are not likely to cause EMI problems to your powered
vehicle.
Powered Vehicle Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)
Because EM energy rapidly becomes more intense as one moves
closer to the transmitting antenna , the EM filed from hand-held radio
wave sources (transceivers) are of special concern. It is possible to
unintentionally bring high levels of EM energy close to the powered
vehicle’s control system while using these devices. This can affect
powered vehicle movement and braking. Therefore, the warnings listed
below are recommended to prevent possible interference with the
control system of the powered vehicle.
WARNINGS : Electromagnetic interference (EMI) from sources such as
radio and TV stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, two-way
radios and cellular phones can affect powered vehicles.
Following the warnings listed below should reduce the chance of
unintended brake release or powered vehicle movement which could
result in serious injury:
1) Do not operate hand-held transceivers (transmitters-receivers) such as
citizen band (CB) radios, or turn ON personal communication devices
such as cellular phones, while the powered vehicle is turned ON.
2) Be aware of nearby transmitters, such as radio or TV stations and try
to avoid coming close to them
3) In unintended movement or brake release occurrences turn the
powered vehicle OFF as soon as it is safe.
4) Be aware that adding accessories or components, or modifying the
powered vehicle, may make it more susceptible to EMI (Note: there is
no easy way to evaluate their effect on the overall immunity level of the
powered vehicle).
5) Report to us all incidents of unintended movement or brake release
and note whether there is a source of EMI nearby.
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) This product as delivered to you has an immunity level of 20 V/m.
