This portion of the content will provide the user with basic information that describes the problems with EMI, known sources of EMI, protective measures either to lessen the possibility or exposure or to minimize the degree of exposure, and suggested action should unexpected or erratic movement occur. Attention: It is very important that you read this information regarding the possible effects of electromagnetic interference on your Monte Carlo Scooter 2.4.
2.4.2 POWERED SCOOTER ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE (EMI) Because EM energy rapidly becomes more intense as one moves 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 close to the control system of powerchair while using these devices. This can affect powered scooter movement and braking.
