WARNING! Pride strongly recommends that you do not smoke cigarettes while seated in your

Go-Chair, although the travel chair has passed the necessary testing requirements for cigarette

smoking. You must adhere to the following safety guidelines if you decide to smoke cigarettes

while seated in your Go-Chair.

Do not leave lit cigarettes unattended.

Keep ashtrays a safe distance from the seat cushions.

Always make sure cigarettes are completely extinguished before disposal.

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 Go-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 Go-Chair off as soon as it is safe to do so. Call your
authorized Pride Provider to report the incident.
