ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE (EMI)
The rapid development of electronics, especially in the area of communications, has saturated our environment
with electromagnetic (EM) radio waves that are emitted by television, radio and communication signals. These
EM wave are invisible and their strength increases as one approach the source. All electrical conductors act as
antennas to the EM signals and, to varying degrees, all power wheelchairs and scooters are susceptible to
electromagnetic interference (EMI). The interference could result in abnormal, unintentional movement and/or
erratic control of the vehicle. The United States Food and drug Administration (FDA) suggests that the following
statement be incorporated to the user’s manual for all power scooter like the S23. Power scooters may as
susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI), which is interfering electromagnetic energy emitted from
sources such as radio stations, TV stations, amateur radio (HAN) transmitter, two-way radios, cellular phones
6

and alarm systems of shops. The interference (from radio wave sources) can cause the power 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 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 “immunity level”. The higher
the immunity level the greater the protection. At this time, current technology is capable of providing at least 20
V/m of immunity level, which would provide useful protection against common sources of radiated EMI.
Following the warnings listed below should reduce the chance of unintended brake release or
powered scooter movement that could result in serious injury:
1. Do not turn on hand-held personal communication devices such as citizens band (CB) radios
and 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 interference from radio wave sources (Note: It is difficult to evaluate the
effect 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 radio wave source nearby.
TURN OFF YOUR POWERED SCOOTER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE WHEN EXPERIENCING THE
FOLLOWING:
Unintentional scooter movements
Unintended or uncontrollable direction.
Unexpected brake release
The FDA has written to the manufacturers of power scooters asking them to test new products to be sure they
provide a reasonable degree of immunity against EMI. The FDA requires that a powered wheelchair should
have an immunity level at least 20 V/m, which provides a reasonable degree of protection against more
common sources of EMI. The higher the immunity level the greater the protection. Your powered scooter has
an immunity level of 20 V/m which should protect against common sources of EMI. Warning: The scooter itself
can disturb the performance of the electromagnetic fields such as emitted by alarm systems of shops.

connection is poor.
Please keep the battery and ⊕ connectors clean otherwise the charging condition will be poor.
When installing batteries, please do not use sealed containers. Use of sealed containers may cause explosions, fires,
injury, or equipment damage.
Do not place batteries in enclosed en ironments or near open flames. Batteries may produce hydrogen which can
cause explosions or fires.
Do not use metal wires to connect batteries and pre ent tools from making short circuit between batteries terminals.
This can cause fire or cause the battery to leak acid, o erheat, or explode.
Do not transport or store batteries together with tools or metal wire. This can cause fire or cause the battery to leak
acid, o erheat, or explode.
Charge batteries using specified chargers or as directed by the manufacturer. Charging batteries by any other methods
can lead to o erheating, excessi e hydrogen leaks, acid leaks, or explosions.
Pliers, torque wrenches and other metal tools should be insulated with PVC tape before use. Failure to do so could
cause short circuits which could lead to sparking or high temperature which could cause fire, damage or explosions of
the battery.
Ensure that short circuits is not formed between the positi e and negati e terminals. Short circuits may lead to leaks,
fires, or explosions.
Do not use these batteries together with different type of the batteries such as Ni-MH or Ni-Cd and so on. It could lead
to leaks, o erheating, or explosions of the batteries, and human injury.
If the battery catches on fire, please use dry powder fire extinguisher or carbon dioxide fire extinguisher. Do not use
water to fire fighting.
Do not expose batteries to heat or flames. This can cause leakage, fire, or explosion of the batteries.
