WARNING
Radio waves will influence the
operation of the motor driven vehicle.
Radio wave sources: broadcasting/ TV
stations and personal wireless
telecommunication equipment that
transmits waves will affect the normal
operation of the vehicle. Therefore
follow the items below to lower the
chances of abnormal vehicle operating
conditions or brake system failure,
which may lead to the danger of injury.
1. Do not use personal
telecommunication items (for
example mobile phones or
walkie-talkie) when the power
source of the electric powered
vehicle has been turned on.
2. Try to avoid locations that broadcast
radio waves, such as TV stations or
radio stations.
3. If the electric vehicle acts irregularly
or the brake system fails, turn off
the power source as soon as possible
when it is still safe.
4. Remember that the installation of
non-genuine company parts makes
it difficult to predict what effects
radio waves will have on the vehicle.
(Notice: it is not able to make a
direct calculation how radio waves
will influence the vehicle).
5. If the vehicle moves irregularly or
the brake system fails after turning
on the power source under normal
operating conditions, notify the
manufacturer quickly.

This portion of the content will provide the user with basic information about the
problems with EMI, known sources of EMI, protective measures either to lessen the
possibility or exposure or to minimize the degree of exposure; and this portion also
shows some conditions that unexpected or erratic movements may occur.
Caution: It is very important that you read this information regarding the possible
effects of electromagnetic interference on your electric Komfi-Rider Scooter.
■ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE (EMI) FROM RADIO WAVE
SOURCES
Powered scooter 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 cellular 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. This is called its “immunity 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 scooter model as shipped,
with no further modification, has an immunity level of 20 V/m without any
accessories.
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 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 classified into three types:
1. Hand-held portable transceivers (transmitter-receivers with the antenna mounted
directly on the transmitting unit. Examples include: citizens band (CB) radios,
“walkie-talkie”, security, fire, and police transceivers, cellular telephones and other
personal communication devices.
NOTE: Some cellular telephones and similar transmit signals while they are ON,
even when not being used.
3 . E M I

9
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 scooter; and
3. Long-range transmitters and transceivers, such as commercial broadcast transmitter
(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 player, 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 your powered scooter.
■SCOOTER ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE (EMI)
Because EM energy rapidly becomes more intense as one move 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 closer to the powered scooter‟s control system while using
these devices. This can affect powered scooter movement and braking. Therefore,
the warnings listed below are recommended to prevent possible interference with the
control system of the powered scooter.
■WARNINGS
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) from sources such as radio and TV stations,
amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, two-way radios, and cellular phones can affect
powered scooters and motorized scooter. Following the warnings listed below
should reduce the chance of unintended brake release or powered scooter movement
which could result to serious injuries.
1. Do not operate hand-held transceivers-receivers, such as citizens band (CB) radios,
or turn ON personal communication devices, such as 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 EMI ( Note: There is no easy way to
evaluate their effect on the overall immunity of the powered scooter); and
5. Report all incidents of unintended movement or brake release to the powered
scooter manufacturer, and note whether there is a source of EMI nearby,
■IMPORTANT INFORMATION
1. 20 Volts per meter (V/m) is a generally achievable and useful immunity level
against EMI ( the higher the level, the greater the protection);
2. This product has an immunity level of 20 V/m without any accessories connected to
it.

SUGGESTION
1. You are recommended to charge the batteries immediately when the battery indicator
gets close to “red light”.
2. In wintertime, the battery may respond more slowly and the traveling distance may
also be shortened.
3. When driving on an incline, the battery indicator light might move up and down.
This is a normal phenomenon; please do not worry about it.
4. Even if the battery is used properly, it is natural the capability decay as time passes
by which results in a shortening of travel distance compared to a brand-new battery.
Therefore, when you found the travel distance is about only 50% of a brand-new
battery‟s traveling distance, it is about the right time for replacement of battery.
Please go to your dealer and ask for a replacement of a new battery. If you continue
to use the old battery when its lifetime is due, it could lead to a decreasing travel
distance suddenly.
5. Travel distances will be shortened when driving frequently on a slope or ground with
big drops, as this leads to a larger consumption of the power.
5.3 HOW TO SET TO FREEWHEEL MODE
