9. EMI – ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE
CAUTION: It is important that you read this information regarding the possi-
ble effects ofelectromagnetic interferenceonyour Easy Light Deluxe.
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) From Radio Wave Sources
Motorized 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 ra-
dios, and cellular phones. The interference (from radio wave sources) can
cause scooters to release their brakes, come to a sudden stop, or move in an
uncontrolled manner. It can also permanently damage a scooter’s control sys-
tem. The intensity of the interfering EM energy can be measured in volts per
motor (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. The FDA has stated that all newly manufactured electric mobil-
ity vehicle models should have a resistance of at least 20 V/m, which would
provide a reasonable degree of protection from the more common sources of
radiated EMI.
Your Easy Light as shipped, withno further modification, has animmunity
level of 20 V/m. This immunity was tested with the inclusion of these accesso-
ries: a utility basket with a spare battery-pack and the charger unit carried in-
side it.
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 unavoid-
able. However, we believe that by following the warnings listed below,
your risk to EMI will be minimized.

Easy Light Deluxe – ET1L User’sManualRev. 0511 PM-R20
The sources of radiated EMI can be broadly classified into three types:
1) Hand-held portable transceivers (transmitters-receivers) with the an-
tenna mounted directly on the transmitting unit. Examples include citi-
zens band (CB) radios, "walkie-talkies”, security, fire, and police trans-
ceivers, cellular telephones, and other personal communication devices.
**NOTE: Some cellular telephones and similar devices transmit signals
while they are ON, even when not being used;
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 broad-
cast transmitters (radio and TV broadcast antenna towers) and amateur
(HAM) radios.
NOTE: 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 motorized scooters.
Motorized scooter Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)
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’s control
system while using these devices. This can affect the scooter’s movement
and braking. Therefore, the warnings listed below are recommended to pre-
vent possible interference withthecontrol system of yourEasy Light Deluxe.
