2.3. EMI
This portion of the content will provide the user with basic information that describes the
problems with EMI, known sources of EMI, protective measures either to lessen the possibility
or exposure or to minimize the degree of exposure, and suggested action should unexpected
or erratic movement occur.
ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE (EMI) FROM RADIO WAVE SOURCES
Powered scooter may be susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI), which is
interfering electromagnetic energy (EM) emitted from sources such as radio stations, TV
stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, two-way radios, and cellular phones. The
interference (from radio wave sources) can cause the powered scooter to release its
brakes, move by itself, or move in unintended directions. It can also permanently damage
the powered scooter’s control system. The intensity of the interfering EM energy can be
measured in volts per meter (V/m). Each powered 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.
This powered scooter model as shipped, with no further modication, has an immunity level
of 20 V/m without any accessories.
There are a number of sources of relatively intense electromagnetic elds 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 warning listed below,
your risk to EMI will be minimized.
CAUTION:
It is very important that you read this information regarding the possible eects of
electromagnetic interference on your electric scooter.

P. 10
The sources of radiated EMI can be broadly classied into three types:
1. Hand-held portable transceivers ( transmitter-receivers with the antenna mounted
directly on the transmitting unit. Examples include: citizens band (CB) radios, “ walkie
talkie”, security, re, and police transceivers, cellular telephones and other personal
communication devices.
2. Medium-range mobile transceivers, such as those used in police cars, re trucks,
ambulances and taxis. These usually have the antenna mounted on the outside of the
Scooter,
3. Long-range transmitters and transceivers, such as commercial broadcast transmitter
(radio and TV broadcast antenna towers) and amateur (HAM) radios;
POWERED SCOOTER ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE (EMI)
Because EM energy rapidly becomes more intense as one moves closer to the transmitting
antenna (source), the EM elds from hand-held radio wave sources ( transceivers) are of
special concern. It is possible to unintentionally bring high levels of EM energy very closer
to the powered scooter’s control system while using these devices. This can aect powered
scooter movement and braking. Therefore, the warnings listed below are recommended to
prevent possible interference with the control system of the powered scooter.
Note:
Other types of hand-held devices, such as cordless phones, laptop computers, AM/FM
radios, TV sets, CD player, 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
powered scooter.

P. 11
WARNINGS
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) from sources such as radio and TV stations, amateur
radio (HAM) transmitters, two-way radios, and cellular phones can aect powered scooters
and motorized scooter. Following the warnings listed below should reduce the chance of
unintended brake release or powered scooter movement which could result in serious injury.
1. Do not operate hand-held (transceivers-receivers), such as citizens band (CB) radios, or
turn ON personal communication devices, such as cellular phones, while the powered
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 powered scooter OFF as
soon as it is safe;
4. Be aware that adding accessories or components, or modifying the powered scooter,
may make it more susceptible to EMI ( Note: There is no easy way to evaluated their
eect on the overall immunity of the powered scooter);
5. Report all incidents of unintended movement or brake release to the powered scooter
manufacturer, and note whether there is a source of EMI nearby;
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
1. 20 Volts per meter ( V/m) is a generally achievable and useful immunity level against
EMI ( the higher the level, the greater the protection);
2. This product has an immunity level of 20 V/m without any accessories and connected
to it.
