Electromagnetic Interference
Power mobility products may be susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI), which is interfering
energy emitted from sources such as:
x
Cellular phones
x
Wireless computer links
x
Two-way radios
x
Radio stations
x
TV stations
x
Amateur radio (HAM) transmitters
x
Microwave signals
x
Medium-range mobile transceivers used by emergency vehicles
This interference can cause the powered mobility product to release its brakes, move by itself, or move
in unintended directions. It can also permanently damage the power mobility product’s control system.
Every electronically-powered mobility powerchair has a resistance to EMI – the higher the immunity
level, the greater the resistance to EMI. Your power mobility product has been laboratory tested and is
immune to EMI up to a level of 20 V/M.
Warning!
Following the warnings listed below should reduce the chance of unintended brake
release or powered mobility product movement which could result in serious injuries.
1.
Do not operate hand-held transceivers-receivers, such as citizens band (CB)
radios, or turn ON personal communication devices, such as cellular phones, while
the mobility product is turned ON.
2.
Be aware of nearby transmitters, such as radio or TV stations, and try to avoid
getting close to them.
3.
If unintended movement or brake release occurs, turn the powered mobility
product OFF as soon as it is safe.
4.
Be aware that adding accessories or components, or modifying the power mobility
product, may make it more susceptible to EMI.
5.
Report all incidents of unintended movement or brake release to Drive DeVilbiss,
and note whether there were sources of EMI nearby.
