3.3 Powered Vehicle Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)
Because EM energy rapidly becomes more intense as one moves
closer to the transmitting antenna (source), the EM fields from
hand-held radio wave sources (transceivers) are of special concern.
It is possible to unintentionally bring high levels of EM energy too
close to the powered vehicle's control system while using these
devices. This can affect your powered vehicle's movement and
braking. Therefore, the warnings listed below are recommended to
prevent possible interference with the control system of the powered
vehicle.
3.4 Warnings
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) from sources such as radio and
TV stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, two-way radios and
cellular phones can affect powered vehicles and motorized
wheelchairs.
Following the warnings listed below should reduce the chance of
unintended brake release or powered vehicle movement which could
result in serious injury.
3.4.1 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 powered vehicle is turned ON.
3.4.2 Be aware of nearby transmitters, such as radio or TV stations, and
try to stay away from them.
3.4.3 If unintended movement or brake release occurs, turn the
powered vehicle OFF as soon as it is safe.
