Please read all the labelling on the scooter before driving it. For your future reference,
do not remove them.
This portion of the content will provide the user with basic information about the
problems with EMI (electromagnetic interference), protective measures can be used to
either lessen the possibility of exposure or to minimize the degree of exposure; this
section also shows some conditions that unexpected or erratic movements may cause.
2.4 LABELLING
Warning
Do not operate the scooter unless the tiller (handlebar column) is up, the
teeth in the tiller adjustment bolt t together and the bolt is fully tightened.
Do not lean against or pull forward on the handle bar while mounting or
dismounting from the scooter. Serious harm or injury may occur.
The manufacturer disclaims all responsibilities for any personal injury or
property damage which may occur as a result of importer unsafe use of
its products.
Warning
It is very important that you read this information regarding the possible
eects of electromagnetic interference on your Scooter.

PAGE 6
Electromagnetic Interference (Emi) From Radio Wave Sources
Powered scooters 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 mobile 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 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.
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) or hand held
radios,(security, re, and police transceivers), mobile telephones and other personal
communication devices.
2. Medium-range mobile transceivers, such as those used in police cars, re trucks,
ambulances and taxis usually have the antenna mounted on the outside of
the scooter.
3. Long-range transmitters and transceivers, such as commercial broadcast
transmitters (radio and TV broadcast antenna towers) and amateur (HAM) radios.
NOTE: some mobile telephones transmit a signal while they are ON, even though
they are not being used.
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, are not likely to cause EMI problems to your powered scooter.

3 EMI
Powered Scooter Electromagnetic Interference (Emi)
EM energy rapidly becomes more intense as one moves closer to a 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
close to the powered scooter’s control system while using these devices; this can
aect your scooters movement and braking. Therefore, the warnings listed below
are recommended to prevent possible interference with the control system of a
powered scooter.
Warning
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) from sources such as radio and TV
stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, two-way radios, and mobile
phones can aect motorized scooters. Following the warnings listed
below should reduce the chance of unintended brake release or
powered scooter movement which could result in serious injuries.
1. Do not operate hand-held transceivers-receivers, such as citizens band
(CB) radios, or turn ON personal communication devices, such as mobile
phones, while the powered scooter is turned ON.
2. Be aware of nearby transmitters, such as radio or TV stations, and try
to avoid getting close to them.
3. If unintended movement or brake release occurs, turn the powered
scooter
4. OFF as soon as it is safe.
5. Be aware that adding accessories or components, or modifying the
powered scooter, may make it more susceptible to EMI.
6. Report all incidents of unintended movement or brake release to your
scooter dealer, and note whether there were sources of EMI nearby.
Important Information
20 Volts per meter (V/m) is generally a useful immunity level against EMI (the higher the
level, the greater the protection). This product has an immunity level of 20 V/m without
any accessories connected to it.

PAGE 13
Suggestion
1. It is recommended that you charge the battery immediately when the
battery gauge is in the red area.
2. In the wintertime, the battery may respond more slowly and the distance
you can travel per charge may also be shortened.
3. When driving on an incline, the battery gauge light might move from green
to red, this is a normal phenomenon, please do not worry.
4. Even if the battery is used properly, it is natural that the battery capability
will decay as time passes, which results in a shortening of travel distance
compared to a brand new battery. Therefore, when the travel distance is
reduced to 50% it is time for a replacement battery. Please go to your
Scooter dealer and purchase replacement batteries. If you continue to use
the old battery when its lifetime is ending, it could lead to a decrease in
travel distance.
Travel distances will be shortened when driving frequently on an incline or
slope, as this leads to a larger consumption of power.
6. ASSEMBLY & DISASSEMBLY
Battery gauge
When the key is switched “ON”, the battery gauge will
display the battery power capacity by indicating red,
yellow and green areas respectively. Green area
indicates a full charge from the battery. Red area
indicates low power. The remaining power
indicated by the battery gauge will be varied by the
actual driving time and how you drive. Repeated
starting, stopping or climbing will consume the
power more quickly.
