Electromagnetic and Radio Frequency Interference (EMI/RFI)
WARNING! Laboratory tests have shown that
electromagnetic and radio frequency waves can have an
adverse effect 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
computer 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, electricity generators or high power sources, and
other types of radio transmitters may cause unintended
movement of your electrically-powered mobility vehicle due
to EMI. Do not turn ON hand-held personal communication
devices, such as citizens hand (CB) radios and cellular
phones, while the powered wheelchair is turned on. Be
aware of nearby transmitters, such as radio or TV stations,
and avoid coming into close proximity to them.
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 controller off as soon as it is safe to do so. Contact your autho-
rized Pride Provider to report the incident.
