4. EMI (electromagnetic interference)
! WARNING - Read all warnings to reduce the risk of unintended
brake release or scooter movement:
1. Beware of the danger from hand-held transceivers. Never turn on or use a hand-held
transceiver while power to your scooter is on. Use extra care if you believe that such a
device may be in use near your scooter.
2. Be aware of nearby radio or TV stations and avoid coming close to them.
3. If unintended movement occurs, turn your scooter off as soon as it is safe to do so.
!WARNING
A. WHAT IS EMI?
1. EMI means: electromagnetic (EM) interference (I). EMI comes from radio wave
sources such as radio transmitters and transceivers. (A “transceiver” is a device that
both sends and receives radio wave signals).
2. There are a number of sources of intense EMI in your daily environment. Some of
these are obvious and easy to avoid. Others are not, and you may not be able to
avoid them.
3. Scooters may be susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI) emitted from
sources such as radio stations, TV stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, two-
way radios, and cellular phones.
4. EMI can also be produced by conducted sources or electrostatic discharge (ESD).
!WARNING
B. WHAT EFFECT CAN EMI HAVE?
1. EMI can cause your scooter, without warning, to:
•Release its brakes
•Move by itself
•Move in unintended directions
If any of these occurs, it could result in severe injury to you or others.
2. EMI can damage the control system of your scooter. This could create a safety hazard,
and lead to costly repairs.
!WARNING
C. SOURCES OF EMI
The sources of EMI fall into three broad types:
1. Hand-held transceivers: The antenna is usually mounted directly on the unit.
These include:
•Citizens band (CB) radios
•“Walkie-talkies”
•Security, fire and police radios
•Cellular phones
•Laptop computers with phone or fax
•Other personal communication devices

Gs500 - OWNER’S MANUAL
6 7
C. SOURCES OF EMI (continued)
2. Medium-Range Mobile Transceivers: These include two-way radios used in
police cars, fire trucks, ambulances and taxi cabs. The antenna isusually mounted on
the outside of the vehicle.
NOTE - These devices can transmit signals while they are on, even if they are not in
use.
3. Long-Range Transceivers: These include commercial radio and TV broadcast
antenna towers and amateur (HAM) radios.
NOTE - The following are not likely to cause EMI problems:
•Laptop computers (without phone or fax),
•Cordless phones,
•TV sets or AM/FM radios,
•CD or tape players.
!WARNING
D. DISTANCE FROM THE SOURCE
EM energy rapidly becomes more intense as you get closer to the source. For this reason,
EMI from hand-held devices are of special concern (see C.1 (portable transceiver) from the
previous section for more information). A person using one of these devices can bring high
levels of EM energy very close to your scooter without you knowing it.
!WARNING
E. IMMUNITY LEVEL
1. The level of EM is measured in volts per meter (V/m). Every scooter can resist EMI up
to a certain level. This is called its “immunity level”.
2. The higher the immunity level, the less the risk of EMI. It is believed
that a 20 V/m immunity level will protect the scooter user from the
more common sources of radio waves. This product respects that immunity level.
NOTE - There is no way to know the effect on EMI if you add accessories or modify
this scooter. Any change to your scooter may increase the risk of EMI. Parts not
specifically tested or parts from other suppliers have unknown EMI properties.
!WARNING
F. REPORT ALL SUSPECTED EMI INCIDENTS
You should promptly report any unintended movement or brake release. Be sure to indicate
whether there was a radio wave source near your scooter at the time.
Contact: Amylior customer service department at: [phone]
!WARNING
G. EMI FROM SCOOTER
Electromagnetic field emitted by electronics component included in this scooter may
interfere with other electronic devices emitting similar field, such as shopping mall alarm
systems.

•To charge the batteries, plug the charger into the charger port on the side of the console or
directly on the battery pack.
•When the batteries are fully charged, disconnect the charger power cord from the wall outlet
and from the charging port.
NOTE: Your scooter will not move while the charger remains connected.
BATTERY MAINTENANCE:
!WARNING
•This scooter uses only deep cycle AGM-type batteries. The use of any other type of batteries
can cause an electrical overload or a spark that may cause an explosion and/or a fire
resulting in severe injury or death.

dealer. If the main circuit breaker continues to trip, there may be an electrical issue that
needs to be addressed.
DO NOT attempt any electrical repairs yourself.
12. DIAGNOSTICS
The microprocessor of your scooter uses flashes and beeps to alert and inform you of
any faults or conditions. The diagnostic is based on the number of beeps as indicated in
the following table. In addition, the parking lights flash and the wrench icon on the LCD
screen flashes. If possible, review the information below before contacting your Amylior
