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
3
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
4
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.

Before beginning your journey with your new scooter, make sure that the scooter
is on a level surface and clear of any obstacles. Although your scooter is able to
climb slopes. It is safer to practice on a level surface.
You could make the following adjustments to increase your comfort when driving.
•adjust seat height and location.
•adjust tiller angle.
•adjust armrest width.
This scooter has automatic braking system. Release the lever control
and brake will stop scooter.
1.Before operating your scooter, check the following:
•Free-wheeling lever in D
•Speed dial is at turtle picture.
•High/Low speed switch is in the high location
2.Sit on scooter and turn on key. The power reserve indicator needle should be in the
green, yellow, or red area. The self-diagnostic warning light should not be blinking.
3.When your hands rest comfortably on the handlebars, the thumb levers should be within
easy reach. The right lever moves the scooter forward, the left one moves it backward.
When you release both levers the scooter will stop.
4.Steer scooter by turning toward the way you want to go.
5.Practice driving where there is no obstacles. Start at the slowest speed and drive
forward and backward; make some turns. As you get more comfortable you can
increase speed by turning speed dial toward picture of the rabbit.
6.If the power reserve indicator needle is in the yellow or red area, you should plan to
recharge batteries very soon.

Keep in mind these rules：
•Release thumb levers and allow scooter to stop completely before changing from
forward to reverse, or reverse to forward.
•When turning a corner, swing front wheels wide, because back wheels will turn more
tightly.
•Use scooter only where it would be safe to walk.
•Use low speeds for reverse, downhill, ramps, curbs,or uneven surfaces.
Other Operating Information：
Hill Climbing: You may need to use a higher speed. For a higher speed, set the speed
control knob in the proximity of the rabbit.
Down Slopes: To proceed with downward slopes slowly, set speed control in proximity
of the turtle. This enables driver control, as the closer the speed control
is set toward the 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.
Curd Climbing: Approach slowly at right angles to the 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 60mm curb.
If Self-Diagnostic Warning Light starts to blink, identify problem from
chart on page 15 and take action.
If the scooter breaks down and must be moved, get off scooter, pull the
free-wheeling lever up to disable the drive system and brake system,
move the scooter slowly to a safe location, and push the free-wheeling
lever down to take the scooter out of freewheel mode.
Vertical limit approach approximately : 9cm
Acceptable gap width approximately : 24cm
