Safety Information On Electromagnetic Interference (Emi) - REHASHOP Siam Mode D'emploi

• Do not leave the powered scooter in a rain storm of any kind.
• Direct exposure to rain or dampness will cause the scooter to malfunction electrically
and mechanically; may cause the powered scooter to prematurely rust.
• Never put scooter in neutral when staying on slopes.
• Follow traffic laws when riding outside.
• When scooter on moving transport vehicles, do not sit or stay on scooter.

2. Safety Information on electromagnetic interference (EMI)

It is very important that you read this information regarding the possible
effects of electromagnetic interference on your motorized scooter.
Powered wheelchairs and motorized scooters may be susceptible to electromagnetic
interference (EMI), which is interfering electromagnetic energy (EM) emitted from sources
such a radio stations, TV stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, two-way radios,
and cellular phones. The interference (from radio wave sources) can cause the motorized
scooter to release its brakes, move by itself, or move in unintended directions. It can also
permanently damage the motorized scooter control system. The intensity of the interfe-
ring EM energy can be measured in volts per meter (V/m). Each motorized scooter can re-
sist EMI up to certain intensity. This is called its „immunity level." The higher the immunity
level, the greater the protection. At this time, current technology is capable of achieving
at least a 20 V/m immunity level, which would provide useful protection from the more
common sources of radiated EMI. This immunity level of this motorized scooter model
is 20 V/m.
There are a number of sources of relatively intense electromagnetic fields in the everyday
environment. Some of these sources are obvious and easy to avoid. Others are not ap-
parent and exposure is unavoidable. However, we believe that by following the warnings
listed below, your risk to EMI will be minimized.
The Sources of radiated EMI can be broadly classified into three types:
1. Hand-held portable transceivers (transmitters-receivers) with the antenna mounted
directly on the transmitting unit. Examples include: citizens band (CB) radios, „walkie
talkie," security, fire, and police transceivers, cellular telephones, and other personal
communication devices;
Some cellular telephones and similar devices transmit signals while they
are ON, even when not being used.
