GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
13
WARNING! Radio wave sources, such as radio
stations, TV stations, amateur radio (HAM)
transmitters, two-way radios, and cellular phones,can
affect motorised wheelchair control. Following the
warnings listed below should reduce the chance of
unintended brake release or motorised wheelchair
movement, which could result in serious injury.
1) Do not turn ON hand-held personal
communication devices, such as citizens band (CB)
radios and cellular phones, while the motorised
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 motorised wheelchair OFF as soon as it is
safe;
4) Be aware that adding accessories or components,
or modifying the motorised 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 motorised wheelchair); and
5) Report all incidents of unintended movement or
brake release to the motorised 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) This product has an immunity level of 20 volts per
meter (V/m)
