The scissor and lift mechanisms are labeled as pinch/crush point hazards on your lift chair. Keep clear of
these areas and make sure the path of motion is unobstructed. See figure 3.1 for pinch/crush point
locations.
WARNING! Do not place objects or appendages in the path of moving parts.

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 devices, such as lift chairs.
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) trans-
mitters, 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 of electrically-powered devices. The lift chair user can help prevent
electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF com-
munications equipment. It is recommended that at least 9 feet (3 meters) of distance be maintained
between the lift chair and any handheld equipment emitting 10 W or more of output power. Refer to the
manufacturer's literature for the handheld device to determine the maximum output of that device.
Every electrically-powered device has an immunity (or resistance) to EMI. The higher the immunity level,
the greater the protection against EMI. Per EMC standards, this product has passed immunity testing and
is rated as a Group 1, Class B product, meaning the lift chair uses RF energy only for its internal function.
Therefore, its RF emissions are very low and are not likely to cause any interference in nearby electronic
equipment, making the lift chair suitable for use in all establishments, including domestic establishments
and hospitals.
WARNING! Be aware that cell phones, two-way radios, laptops, and other types
of radio transmitters may cause unintended movement of your electrically-
powered device due to EMI. Exercise caution when using any of these items
while operating your lift chair.
WARNING! The addition of accessories or components to the lift chair can
increase the susceptibility of the chair to EMI. Do not modify your lift chair in
any way not authorized by your provider.
WARNING! Your lift chair itself can disturb the performance of other electrical
devices located nearby, such as alarm systems.
NOTE: If unintended motion occurs, discontinue use of the lift chair. Contact your provider to report
the incident.
