EMI / RFI and your scooter
All electrically powered vehicles, including scooters, are susceptible to Electromagnetic
Interference / Radio Frequency Interference (EMI / RFI). This interference could result in
abnormal, unintended movement of your scooter.
WARNING! Unintended movement or brake release can cause an accident or injury.
The FDA has determined that each make and model of a scooter can resist EMI / RFI to a
certain level. The higher the level of resistance, the greater the degree of protection from
EMI / RFT – measured in volts per meter (V/m). The FDA has also determined that current
technology is capable of providing 20 V/m of resistance to interference. This product has
been tested and has passed an immunity level of 20 V/m.
EMI / RFI recommendations
● Do not turn on or use hand-held personal electronic communication devices such
as cellular phones, walkie-talkies, and CB radios while your scooter is turned on;
● Be aware of any nearby transmitters (radio, television, microwave, etc.) on your
intended route and avoid operating your scooter close to any of those transmitters;
● Turn off the power if your scooter is going to be in a stationary position for any
length of time;
● Be aware that adding accessories or components or modifying your scooter may
make it more susceptible to EMI / RFI;
WARNING! Turn off your scooter as safely as possible if unintended or uncontrollable
motion occurs or if unintended park brake release occurs.
11.0 DAILY CHECKING
Check the following items before driving. If you find anything abnormal, contact your
scooter dealer for a further inspection before using it.
