50 Chapter 8 D82008753R 10/15
1. Do not turn on hand-held personal communication devices, such as
citizens band (CB) radios and cellular phones, while the power
wheelchair is turned ON.
2. Be aware of nearby transmitters, such as radio or TV stations and try
to avoid coming close to them.
3. If unintended movement or brake release occurs, turn the power
wheelchair OFF as soon as it is safe.
4. Be aware that adding accessories or components, or modifying the
power wheelchair, may make it more susceptible to interference
from radio wave sources. (Note: There is no easy way to evaluate
their effect on the overall immunity of the power wheelchair); and
5. Report all incidents of unintended movement or brake release to the
power wheelchair manufacturer, and note whether there is a radio
wave source nearby.
Important Information
1. 20 volts per meter (V/m) is a generally achievable and useful
immunity level against interference from radio wave sources
(as of May 1994, the higher the level, the greater the protection).
2. The MPV5
®
wheelchair has an immunity level of at least 20 V/m.
