2.Medium-range mobile transceivers, such as those used in police cars, fire trucks,

ambulances, and taxis. These usually have the antenna mounted on the outside of the

vehicle; and

3.Long-range transmitters and transceivers such as commercial broadcast transmitters

(radio and TV broadcast antenna towers) and amateur (HAM) radios

Other types of hand-held devices, such as cordless phones, laptop

computers, AM/FM radios, TV sets, CD players, and cassette players,

and small appliances, such as electric shavers and hair dryers, so far as.

we know, are not likely to cause EMI problems to your motorized scooter.

ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE

AND WARNINGS

CAUTION: It is very important that you read this information regarding the possible

effects of Electromagnetic Interference on your motorized scooter.

Powered wheelchairs and motorized scooters may be susceptible to electromagnetic

interference (EMI), which is interfering electromagnetic energy (EM) emitted from sources

such a radio stations, TV stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, two-way radios, and

cellular phones. The interference (from radio wave sources) can cause the motorized

scooter to release its brakes, move by itself, or move in unintended directions. It can also

permanently damage the motorized scooter control system. The intensity of the interfering

EM energy can be measured in volts per meter (V/m). Each motorized scooter can resist

EMI up to a certain intensity. This is called its "immunity level." The higher the immunity

level, the greater the protection. At this time, current technology is capable of achieving

at least a 20 V/m immunity level, which would provide useful protection from the more

common sources of radiated EMI. The immunity level of this motorized scooter model is

not known.

There are a number of sources of relatively intense electromagnetic fields in the everyday

environment. Some of these sources are obvious and easy to avoid. Others are not

apparent and exposure is unavoidable. However, we believe that by following the warnings

listed below, your risk to EMI will be minimized.

Some cellular telephones and similar devices transmit signals while

they are ON, even when not being used

The sources of radiated EMI can be broadly classified into three types :

1.Hand-held portable transceivers (transmitters-receivers) with the antenna mounted

directly on the transmitting unit. Examples include: citizens band (CB) radios, "walkie

talkie," security, fire, and police transceivers, cellular telephones, and other personal

communication devices

Instruction Booklet8-Series

There is no easy way to evaluate their effect on the overall immunity of

the motorized scooter.

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 very close

to the motorized scooter control system while using these devices. This can affect

motorized scooter movement and braking. Therefore, the warnings listed below are

recommended to prevent possible interference with the control system of the motorized

scooter.

Motorized Scooter Electromagnetic Interference：

Electromagnetic interference (EMI) from sources such as radio and TV stations, amateur

radio (HAM) transmitters, two-way radios, and cellular phones can affect motorized scooters.

Following the warnings listed below should reduce the chance of unintended brake release

or motorized scooter movement which could result in serious injury.

1.Do not operate hand-held transceivers (transmitters-receivers), such as citizens band

(CB) radios, or turn ON personal communication devices, such as cellular phones, while

the motorized scooter 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 motorized scooter OFF as

soon as it is safe;

4.Be aware that adding accessories or components, or modifying the motorized scooter,

may make it more susceptible to EMI; and

Warnings：

1.20 volts per meter (V/m) is a generally achievable and useful immunity level against

EMI (as of May 1994). The higher the level, the greater the protection.

2.The immunity level of this product is at least 20/Vm.

5.Report all incidents of unintended movement or brake release to the distributor listed

on the inside front cover of this manual. Note whether there is a source of EMI nearby.

See CHARGING THE BATTERIES, page 12.

Instruction Booklet8-Series

In unlikely event of a panel display error, you need to re-set the display

system by cycling the on/off main switch. The display circuitry is independent

of the motor control system. A display console error does not affect scooter

speed control.

Keep in mind these rules：

•Release Throttle and allow scooter to stop completely before changing from forward

to reverse, or reverse to forward.

•When turning to corner, swing front wheels widely, so back wheels will turn more tightly.

•Use scooter only where it is safe to walk.

•Drive in low speeds when reversing, riding dowhill, over rainp or curb, or on uneven

sukpace, downhills, ramps, curbs, or uneven surfaces.

Other Operating Information：

Hill climbing: You may need to use a higher speed. Turn to lower speed before going

downhill.

Down slopes: proceed with downward slopes slowly, and set speed control in proximity

of turtle. The closer speed control is set toward turtle, the slower scooter

travels. However, this scooter will not self accelerate down hills due to the

automatic braking, taking effect should you attempt to drive too fast.

Kerb climbing: Approach slowly from right angles to curb. A slight angle is permissible

with a 4-wheel scooter, but a direct approach is needed on a 3-wheel

scooter. Do not attempt greater than a 3" curb.

If Self-Diagnostic Warning Light starts to blink, identify problem from

chart on page 14 and take action.

If the scooter breaks down and must be moved, get off scooter, engage

Free-Wheeling Lever to N, push scooter slowly to a safe location, and

push lever back to D.

CHARGING THE BATTERIES

Keep in mind these rules：

•Fully charge batteries at least once a month, or more if you use scooter regularly.

Charge after each trip exceeding 3 kilometers.

•If storing your scooter for some time (1 month or more), make sure that batteries are

fully charged, and on returning, charge them again before using scooter.

•

Batteries will only give maximum performance after scooter has been used, and batteries

have been recharged up to 10 times. A bit like breaking in a new car.

Please be aware that the travelling range of your mobility scooter is impacted by how fast the batteries

are discharged. This will depend on many circumstances, such as ambient temperature, condition of the

surface of the road, tyre pressure, weight of the driver, driving environment (inclines etc.) and utilisation

of your lighting system if fitted. We recommend that you test your local ride with a family member to

ensure a safe journey.

Batteries must be charged before using the scooter for the first time and should be

recharged after each day use. You will need the scooter and the battery charger.
