INFORMATION REGARDING THE POSSIBLE EFFECTS OF
ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE ON YOUR POWERED
SCOOTER.
Electromagnet c Interference EMI From Rad o Wave sources.
PROCEDURE 1GENERAL GUIDELINES
GENERAL GUIDELINES
All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com

Invacare Scooters 10 Part No. 1090132 Rev F
EMI WARNINGS (CONTINUED)
Powered scooters may be suscept ble to electromagnet c nterference (EMI),
wh ch s nterfer ng electromagnet c energy (EM) em tted from sources such
as rad o stat ons, TV stat ons, amateur rad o (HAM) transm tters, two way
rad os, and cellular phones. The nterference (from rad o wave sources) can
cause the powered scooter to release ts brakes, move by tself, or move n
un ntended d rect ons. It can also permanently damage the powered
scooter's control system. The ntens ty of the nterfer ng EM energy can be
measured n volts per meter (V/m). Each powered scooter can res st EMI up
to a certa n ntens ty. Th s s called ts " mmun ty level." The h gher the
mmun ty level, the greater the protect on. At th s t me, current technology
s capable of ach ev ng at least a 20 V/m mmun ty level, wh ch would prov de
useful protect on from the more common sources of rad ated EMI.
There are a number of sources of relat vely ntense electromagnet c f elds n
the everyday env ronment. Some of these sources are obv ous and easy to
avo d. Others are not apparent and exposure s unavo dable. However, we
bel eve that by follow ng the warn ngs l sted, your r sk to EMI w ll be m n -
m zed.
The sources of rad ated EMI can be broadly class f ed nto three types:
1) Hand-held Portable transce vers (transm tters-rece vers w th the
antenna mounted d rectly on the transm tt ng un t. Examples nclude:
c t zens band (CB) rad os, "walk e talk e," secur ty, f re, and pol ce trans-
ce vers, cellular telephones, and other personal commun cat on dev ces.
**NOTE: Some cellular telephones and s m lar dev ces transm t s gnals
wh le they are ON, even when not be ng used;
2) Med um-range mob le transce vers, such as those used n pol ce cars,
f re trucks, ambulances, and tax s. These usually have the antenna
mounted on the outs de of the veh cle; and
3) Long-range transm tters and transce vers, such as commerc al
broadcast transm tters (rad o and TV broadcast antenna towers) and
amateur (HAM) rad os.
NOTE: Other types of hand-held devices, such as cordless phones, laptop computers, AM/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.
Powered Scooter Electromagnet c Interference (EMI)
Because EM energy rap dly becomes more ntense as one moves closer to
the transm tt ng antenna (source), the EM f elds from hand-held rad o wave
sources (transce vers) are of spec al concern. It s poss ble to un ntent onally
br ng h gh levels of EM energy very close to the powered scooter's control
system wh le us ng these dev ces. Th s can affect powered scooter move-
ment and brak ng. Therefore, the warn ngs l sted are recommended to
prevent poss ble nterference w th the control system of the powered
scooter.

EMI WARNINGS (CONTINUED)
Electromagnet c nterference (EMI) from sources such as rad o and TV
stat ons, amateur rad o (HAM) transm tters, two-way rad os, and cellular
phones can affect powered scooters. Follow ng the warn ngs l sted should
reduce the chance of un ntended brake release or powered scooter move-
ment wh ch could result n ser ous njury.
1) Do not operate hand-held transce vers (transm tters rece vers), such
as c t zens band (CB rad os, or turn ON personal commun cat on dev ces,
such as cellular phones, wh le the powered scooter s turned ON;
2) Be aware of nearby transm tters, such as rad o or TV stat ons, and
try to avo d com ng close to them;
3) If un ntended movement or brake release occurs, turn the powered
scooter OFF as soon as t s safe;
4) Be aware that add ng accessor es or components, or mod fy ng the
powered scooter, may make t more suscept ble to EMI (Note: There s
no easy way to evaluate the r effect on the overall mmun ty of the pow-
ered scooter); and
5) Report all nc dents of un ntended movement or brake release to the
powered scooter manufacturer, and note whether there s a source of
EMI nearby.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
1) 20 volts per meter (V/m) s a generally ach evable and useful mmu-
n ty level aga nst EMI (as of May 1994) (the h gher the level, the greater
the protect on);
2) The mmun ty level of th s product s unknown.
