1.2 WHAT ABOUT THE ELECTROMAGNETIC ENERGY
All electronic instruments which transmit remote informations are generally
apparatus which emit in the environment some radio waves. These radio waves
are called " electromagnetic energy ".
The functionality of an electronic instrument can be deteriorated by this
electromagnetic energy field. It is what we call " an electromagnetic
interference". Stronger the intensity of energy is, greater the risk of bad
functional problem of the apparatus increase. This energy is measured in volt
per meter (V/m).
All motorized wheelchair are suitable to be affected by these interferences.
However, current technology makes it possible to immunize them against these
risks. It is what is called their electromagnetic level of immunity to the
interference, measured also in volt per meter (V/m).
20 V/m is a level of immunity which offer a good protection against the
electromagnetic interferences. The electronic parts of the R-NET electronic from
do meet standard directive IEC 1000-4-3.
To avoid electromagnetic interferences, it is important to read
and respect the following warning section, before to use your
wheelchair for the first time.

1.2.1 CAUTION
Waves emitted by :
•Radio and television stations;
•Amateur radio;
•Radio transmitters and receivers;
•Cellular phones;
•Computers laptop.
CAN AFFECT THE CORRECT FUNCTIONALITY OF MOTORIZED WHEELCHAIR.
1.2.2 USING TRANSMITTERS AND RECEIVERS
•Avoid proximity of these sources of electromagnetic emissions.
•Always put the joystick box in the OFF POSITION before using a cellular phone
or a CB apparatus.
•The addition of electric accessories and/or electric modifications made to the
wheelchair will modify its level of immunity to the electromagnetic emissions.
•Always put the key in the OFF POSITION as soon as it safe to do it and that
appears an erratic operation with the wheelchair.
•Please forward any incident of this kind to .
