Electromagnetic and Radio Frequency Interference (EMI/RFI)
WARNING! Laboratory tests have shown that
electromagnetic and radio frequency waves can have an
adverse affect on the performance of electrically-powered
mobility vehicles.
Electromagnetic and Radio Frequency Interference can come from sources
such as cellular phones, mobile two-way radios (such as walkie-talkies),
radio stations, TV stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, wireless com-
puter links, microwave signals, paging transmitters, and medium-range
mobile transceivers used by emergency vehicles. In some cases, these waves
can cause unintended movement or damage to the control system. Every
electrically-powered mobility vehicle has an immunity (or resistance) to
EMI. The higher the immunity level, the greater the protection against EMI.
This product has been tested and has passed at an immunity level of 20 V/m.
WARNING! Be aware that cell phones, two-way radios,
laptops, and other types of radio transmitters may cause
unintended movement of your electrically-powered
mobility vehicle due to EMI. Exercise caution when using
any of these items while operating your mobility vehicle
and avoid coming into close proximity of radio and TV
stations.
WARNING! The addition of accessories or components to
the electrically-powered mobility vehicle can increase the
susceptibility of the vehicle to EMI. Do not modify your
power chair in any way not authorized by Pride.
WARNING! The electrically-powered mobility vehicle itself
can disturb the performance of other electrical devices
located nearby, such as alarm systems.
NOTE: For further information on EMI/RFI, go to the Resource Center
on www.pridemobility.com. If unintended motion or brake release occurs,
turn your power chair off as soon as it is safe to do so. Call Pride or your
authorized Pride Provider to report the incident.
