There are dangers present while using public or private transpor-
tation vehicles. Securement points are provided for unoccupied
transport only.
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)
CAUTION: It is very important that you thoroughly read this information regarding the
possible effects of EMI on your power wheelchair.
Tests by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have determined that EMI can, under certain
conditions, cause power wheelchairs and scooters to move unintentionally and/or erratically, or
cause unintended release of the brakes. Stronger EMI sources can also permanently damage the
power wheelchair’s control system. The intensity of the interfering EM energy can be measured
