ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE
EMI WARNIN S
CAUTION: IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU READ THIS
INFORMATION REGARDING THE POSSIBLE EFFECTS OF
ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE ON YOUR POWERED
SCOOTER.
ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE (EMI) FROM RADIO WAVE
SOURCES
Powered s ooters may be sus eptible to ele tromagneti interferen e
(EMI), whi h is interfering ele tromagneti energy (EM) emitted from
sour es su h as radio stations, TV stations, amateur radio (HAM)
transmitters, two way radios, and ellular phones. The interferen e (from
radio wave sour es) an ause the powered s ooter to release its brakes,
move by itself, or move in unintended dire tions. It an also permanently
damage the powered s ooter's ontrol system. The intensity of the
interfering EM energy an be measured in volts per meter (V/m). Ea h
powered s ooter an resist EMI up to a ertain intensity. This is alled its
"immunity level". The higher the immunity level, the greater the
prote tion. At this time, urrent te hnology is apable of a hieving at least
a 20 V/m immunity level, whi h would provide useful prote tion from the
more ommon sour es of radiated EMI.
There are a number of sour es of relatively intense ele tromagneti fields
in the everyday environment. Some of these sour es are obvious and easy
to avoid. Others are not apparent and exposure is unavoidable. However,
we believe that by following the warnings listed, your risk to EMI will be
minimized.
The sour es of radiated EMI an be broadly lassified into three types:
1) Hand-held Portable trans eivers (transmitters-re eivers) with the
antenna mounted dire tly on the transmitting unit. Examples in lude:
itizens band (CB) radios, "walkie talkie," se urity, fire, and poli e
trans eivers, ellular telephones, and other personal ommuni ation
devi es. NOTE: Some cellular telephones and similar devices transmit signals while
they are ON, even when not being used;
2) Medium-range mobile trans eivers, su h as those used in poli e ars,
fire tru ks, ambulan es, and taxis. These usually have the antenna
mounted on the outside of the vehi le; and
3) Long-range transmitters and trans eivers, su h as ommer ial
broad ast transmitters (radio and TV broad ast antenna towers) and
amateur (HAM) radios.
NOTE: Other types of hand-held devices, such as cordless phones, laptop computers, M/FM
radios, TV sets, CD players, 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.
WEIGHT LIMITATION
WARNIN
The weight limitation for the Inva are Buzz is 300 lbs.
If so equipped, the front basket is rated for a maximum loading apa ity of
10 lbs.

GENERAL GUIDELINES
EMI WARNIN S (CONTINUED)
POWERED SCOOTER ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE (EMI)
Be ause EM energy rapidly be omes more intense as one moves loser to
the transmitting antenna (sour e), the EM fields from hand-held radio wave
sour es (trans eivers) are of spe ial on ern. It is possible to
unintentionally bring high levels of EM energy very lose to the powered
s ooter's ontrol system while using these devi es. This an affe t powered
s ooter movement and braking. Therefore, the warnings listed are
re ommended to prevent possible interferen e with the ontrol system of
the powered s ooter.
Ele tromagneti interferen e (EMI) from sour es su h as radio and TV
stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, two-way radios, and ellular
phones an affe t powered s ooters. Following the warnings listed should
redu e the han e of unintended brake release or powered s ooter
movement whi h ould result in serious injury.
1) Do not operate hand-held trans eivers (transmitters re eivers), su h
as itizens band (CB) radios, or turn ON personal ommuni ation
devi es, su h as ellular phones, while the powered s ooter is turned
ON;
2) Be aware of nearby transmitters, su h as radio or TV stations, and try
to avoid oming lose to them;
3) If unintended movement or brake release o urs, turn the powered
s ooter OFF as soon as it is safe;
4) Be aware that adding a essories or omponents, or modifying the
powered s ooter, may make it more sus eptible to EMI (Note: There
is no easy way to evaluate their effe t on the overall immunity of the
powered s ooter); and
5) Report all in idents of unintended movement or brake release to the
powered s ooter manufa turer, and note whether there is a sour e of
EMI nearby.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
1) 20 volts per meter (V/m) is a generally a hievable and useful immunity
level against EMI (as of May 1994) (the higher the level, the greater the
prote tion).
2) While this produ t as shipped has been tested and is immune to signal
levels up to 20V/m, the maximum immunity level of the produ t is
unknown.

SAFETY/HANDLING
Safety and Handling of the powered scooter requires the close attention of the user.
This manual points out the most common procedures and techniques involved in the
safe operation and maintenance. It is important to practice and master these safe
techniques until you are comfortable in maneuvering the powered scooter.
Use this information only as a basic guide. The techniques that are discussed have
been used successfully by many.
Individual users often develop skills to deal with daily living activities that may differ
from those described in this manual. Invacare recognizes and encourages each individual
to try what works best for him/her in overcoming obstacles that they may encounter;
however, ALL WARNINGS and CAUTIONS given in this manual MUST be followed.
Techniques in this manual are a starting point for the new powered scooter user with
safety as the most important consideration for all.
STABILITY AND BALANCE
WARNIN
ALWAYS wear your seat positioning strap. Inasmu h as the SEAT
POSITIONING STRAP is an option on this powered s ooter (you may
order with or without the Seat Positioning Strap), Inva are strongly
re ommends ordering the Seat Positioning Strap as an additional safeguard
for the powered s ooter user.
To assure stability and proper operation of your powered scooter, you must, at all
times, maintain proper balance. Your powered scooter has been designed to remain
upright and stable during normal daily activities.
PERCENTAGE OF WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION
WARNIN
DO NOT attempt to rea h obje ts if you have to move forward in the seat
or pi k them up from the floor by rea hing down between your knees.
Many activities require the powered scooter owner to reach, bend and transfer in and
out of the powered scooter. These movements cause a change to the normal balance,
the center of gravity, and the weight distribution of the powered scooter. To determine
and establish your particular safety limits, practice bending, reaching and transferring
activities in several combinations in the presence of a qualified healthcare professional
BEFORE attempting active use of the powered scooter.
Proper positioning is essential for your safety.
