Important Information Regarding Electromagnetic Interference
(EMI)
It is very important that you read this information regarding the possible effects of electromagnetic interference
(EMI) on your scooter. Electromagnetic interference (EMI) refers to the effects that outside sources of
electromagnetic energy (radio and television broadcasts, CB radios, garage door openers, cellular telephones,
etc.) might have on the control systems of your scooter. The interference from these sources could cause the
scooter to release its brakes, move by itself, or to move in an unintended direction. EMI could also result in
permanent damage to the control system.
The sources of electromagnetic energy can be broadly classified into three types:
Hand held, short range portable transceivers. These are transmitter/receivers with the antenna mounted
directly on the unit. Examples include: citizen band (CB) radios, “walkie-talkies”, security, fire and police
transceivers, and devices that transmit signals even when not in use.
Medium range mobile transceivers. These usually have the antenna mounted outside of a vehicle or
building. Examples include police, fire, ambulance and taxi transceivers.
Long-range transmitters and receivers. These usually have the antenna mounted on a tower. Examples
include commercial radio and television broadcasts and amateur (HAM) radios. Other types of hand-held
devices like cordless/cellular phones, laptop computers, AM/FM radios, and small appliances like hair
dryers or electric shavers may also generate electromagnetic energy, but it is such a small amount that no
EMI problems should occur with these devices.
The intensity of interference from electromagnetic energy is measured in volts per meter (v/m), which refers to the
strength of the electrical source (voltage) as it relates to the distance away from the object being considered (in
meters). Resistance of a Scooter to certain EMI intensity is commonly called its “immunity level”. An immunity
level of 10 volts/meter is a generally achievable and useful immunity level against interference from radio wave
sources (the higher the immunity level, the greater the protection).
Your Scooter has been tested and found to meet the required immunity level from Electromagnetic Interference of
20 v/m.
WARNING!
Even with an immunity level of 20 volts/meter, certain precautions
must be followed to ensure that your Scooter will not be affected by
outside electromagnetic sources:
Do not operate hand-held transceivers such as citizen band (CB) radios or turn on powered communication
devices such while the Scooter is turned on.
Be aware of nearby transmitters, such as radio and television stations, and avoid coming close to them.
If an unintended movement should occur while operating the Scooter, turn the Scooter OFF as soon as it is
safe to do so.
Be aware that if you do operate any electrically powered accessories, radios, or other devices, that your
scooter may become more susceptible to interference from outside electromagnetic source.
Report all incidents of unintended movement or unexpected brake releases to the Service department of
Electric Mobility Corp.
