The B500/B500-S has been tested according to EMC regulations. The following particularities must
be observed during operation and communicated to the user:
•The driving characteristics of the B500/B500-S can be affected by electromagnetic elds (mobile
phones or other radiating devices). Therefore all mobile devices must be turned off when driving.
• The B500/B500-S can generate electromagnetic elds that can cause interference for other devices.
Therefore, turn off the control unit whenever you do not need it.
During extended periods of disuse or shipment of the B500/B500-S power wheelchair, remove the fuse
from the battery case in order to prevent deep discharge of the batteries due to standby consumption.
2.7 Safety Instructions for Disposal
If the power wheelchair is no longer in use, it must be disposed of properly in accordance with national
regulations.
If a wheelchair is to be disposed of, all components and materials of the power wheelchair must be
recycled or disposed of properly.
. The batteries of the power wheelchair contain
a toxic acid. They must not be disposed of with regular domestic waste and the battery acid must not
enter the sewage water system or ground. You must observe the battery manufacturer’s instructions
printed on the batteries.
2.8 Safety Instructions for Controller Conguration
Modied parameter settings in
the conguration can lead to changes in driving characteristics. In particular, changes to the speed,
acceleration, braking or joystick settings can lead to unexpected and therefore uncontrollable operating
performance with a risk of accidents.
Always test the driving characteristics of the power wheelchair after conguration / programming is
complete.
Programming must only be completed by authorised personnel. Neither Otto Bock nor the control
unit manufacturer are liable for damages (especially in combination with special controls) caused by
programming that was not properly / professionally adapted to the abilities of the wheelchair user.
