Powered Vehicle Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)
Because EM energy rapidly becomes more intense as one move closer to the 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 closer 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.
WARNING
Radio wave sources may affect powered wheelchair control 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 and powered wheelchair.
Following the warnings listed below should reduce the chance of unintended brake release
or powered vehicle movement which could result to 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
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. If unintended movement or brake release occurs, 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 of the powered vehicle).
5. Report all incidents of unintended movement or brake release to the Mobie and note
whether there is a source of EMI nearby.
Note: Other types of hand-held devices, such as cordless phones, laptop computers,
AM/FM radios, TV sets, CD player, and 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 vehicle.
