As you begin using your Laser during your daily activities, you will probably encounter situations in which you will
need some practice negotiating on your Sport Scooter. Simply take your time as you operate your Laser and you will
soon be in full and confident control as you maneuver through doorways, on and off of elevators, up and down ramps,
and over moderate terrain.
DOORS
nDetermine if the door opens toward or away from you.
nUse your hand to turn the knob or push the handle or push-bar.
nDrive your Laser gently and slowly forward to push the door open; or drive your Laser gently and slowly
backwards to pull the door open.
ELEVATORS
Modern elevators have a door-edge safety mechanism that, when pushed, reopens the elevator door(s).
nIf you are in the doorway of an elevator when the door(s) begin to close, push on the rubber door edge or allow
the rubber door edge to contact the Sport Scooter and the door will reopen.
nUse care that pocketbooks, packages, or Laser accessories do not become caught in the elevator doors.
RAMPS AND OTHER INCLINES
More and more buildings have ramps with specified degrees of inclination. hese ramps are designed for easy and
safe Sport Scooter access. Some ramps may have turning switchbacks that require good cornering skills on your
Laser.
nake wide swings with your Lasers front wheel(s) around any tight corners. If you do that, the Lasers rear
wheels will follow a wide arc, not cut the corner short, and not bump into or get hung up on any railing corners.
nWhen driving down a ramp, keep the Lasers speed adjustment dial set to the tortoise (slowest speed setting) to
ensure a safely controlled descent. See V. Description.
nAvoid sudden stops and starts.
Other inclines may be natural or, if man-made, not designed specifically for Sport Scooters. Figures 1 and 2 illustrate
your Lasers stability and its ability to climb grades under various weight loads and under controlled testing conditions.

II. SAFETY
hese tests were conducted with the Lasers seat in the highest position and adjusted backward on the seat base
to its furthest rearward position. Use this information as a guideline. Your Lasers ability to travel up inclines is
affected by your weight, your Sport Scooters speed, your angle of approach to the incline, and your Sport
Scooter setup.
nWhen you approach an incline, it is best to lean forward. his shifts the center of gravity of you and your Laser
toward the front of the Sport Scooter for improved stability. See figures 3 and 4.
FIGURE 4. INCREASED STABILITY DRIVING POSITION
FIGURE 3. NORMAL DRIVING POSITION
WARNING! Do not exceed the incline guidelines or any other specifications presented in this
manual.
DRIVING S RFACES
Your Laser was designed to provide optimum stability under normal driving conditions typically consisting of dry,
level surfaces composed of concrete or asphalt. However, Pride recognizes that there will be times when you will
operate your Laser on surfaces other than concrete or asphalt. For that reason we have also designed your Laser
to perform admirably on packed soil, grass, and gravel. Feel free to use your Laser safely on lawns and in park
areas.
nAvoid tall grass that can entangle the running gear.
nPacked soil and gravel, such as driveways or roads, will not present a problem for your Laser.
nAvoid loosely packed gravel and sand.
nIf you feel unsure about a driving surface, avoid that surface.
DRIVING IN REVERSE
Before driving in reverse, always check that your path is free of hazards; curbs, pedestrians, etc.

III. EMI/RFI
EMI/RFI WARNINGS
Laboratory tests performed by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have shown that radio waves can cause
unintended motion of electric mobility vehicles. Radio waves are a form of electromagnetic energy (EM). When
this energy unintentionally affects the operation of an electronic device, it is called Electromagnetic Interference
(EMI) or Radio Frequency Interference (RFI).
FREQ ENTLY ASKED Q ESTIONS (FAQS)
he following FAQs summarize what you should know about EMI/RFI. Use this information to minimize the risk
that EMI/RFI may affect your Scooter.
Where do radio waves come from?Where do radio waves come from?

Where do radio waves come from?
Radio waves are emitted from the antennas of cellular phones, mobile two-way radios, walkie-talkies, radio
stations, V stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, wireless computer links, microwave sources, and paging
transmitters. Radio waves are a form of electromagnetic energy (EM). EM is more intense closer to transmitting
antennas, which are sources of emission. he greater the transmission strength, the greater the concern to electric
mobility vehicle users.

his is hard to predict. he effect may depend on a number of factors including:
nStrength of the radio waves
nConstruction of the electric mobility vehicle
nPosition of the power chair (whether it is on level ground or on a slope)
nWhether or not the electric mobility vehicle is in motion
Electric mobility vehicle motion caused by EMI/RFI can be erratic. he vehicle may move by itself or come to a
sudden stop. Furthermore, it is possible for EMI/RFI to unexpectedly release the brakes on an electric mobility
vehicle. Some intense sources of EMI/RFI can even damage the control system of an electric mobility vehicle.

Unfortunately, interference from radio wave sources may be difficult to recognize, because the signals from these
sources are invisible and may be intermittent. However, the FDA recommends that you report all incidents of
unintended motion or brake release to the electric mobility vehicle manufacturer and, if possible, note whether
there was a radio wave source nearby at the time of the incident.

he FDA has reports of injuries that may have resulted from the uncontrolled motion of electric mobility vehicles.
However, it is unclear how many of these incidents were actually caused by radio wave interference.

Each make and model differs in its ability to resist EMI/RFI. Each electric mobility vehicle has a particular level of
immunity to EMI/RFI. his immunity is measured in volts per meter (V/m). A higher immunity level offers greater
protection. In other words, a power chair with a high immunity level is less likely to be affected by a strong radio
source than one with a low immunity level.

What is the FDA doing about the problem?What is the FDA doing about the problem?
What is the FDA doing about the problem?What is the FDA doing about the problem?
What is the FDA doing about the problem?
he FDA has written to electric mobility vehicle manufacturers and requested that they test their new products to
be sure that they provide a reasonable degree of immunity against EMI/RFI. he letter states that electric mobility
vehicles should have an immunity level of at least 20 V/m. his provides a reasonable degree of protection against
the common sources of EMI/RFI.
he FDA has also requested or recommended that:
nElectric mobility vehicle manufacturers clearly label new products with their immunity level or state that the
immunity level is not known.
nhe labeling or informational material supplied with new electric mobility vehicles must explain what the immu-
nity level means and warn users about the possibility of EMI/RFI and how to avoid it.
nElectric mobility vehicle manufacturers undertake an educational program to inform users and their caregivers
about the problems associated with EMI/RFI and about the actions they can take to minimize the risk of EMI/
RFI.
nWhile there is no exact way to tell if your electric mobility vehicle is totally safe from EMI/RFI, an immunity
level of 20 V/m (May 1994) is generally achievable and useful. his product has been tested and passed at an
immunity level of 20 V/m.

If you have owned your Scooter for a long time and have not experienced unintended motion, it is unlikely that you
will have problems in the future. However, it is always possible that problems could arise if your power chair is
close to a source of radio waves. herefore, it is very important to be alert to this possibility. his Scooter meets or
exceeds an immunity level of at least 20 V/m.

Here are some precautions you can take:
nDo not turn on or use hand-held personal communications devices, such as citizens band (CB) radios and
cellular phones, while the power chair is on.
nBe aware of nearby transmitters such as radio or V stations and hand-held or mobile two-way radios, and try
not to come close to them. For example, if you are in a power chair with an immunity level of 20 V/m, you
should remain at least three feet from a hand-held two-way radio and ten feet from a mobile two-way radio.
nBe aware that adding accessories and/or components or modifying the power chair may make it more suscep-
tible to interference from radio wave sources.
nhere is no easy way to evaluate the effect of accessories or modifications upon the overall immunity of the
power chair.

T RBO F NCTION
he urbo mode provides the option to increase the Sport Scooter speed up to 8 mph by simply pressing and
holding in the urbo button while driving a straight course on flat and smooth terrain. his beneficial feature allows
the user to travel greater distances in less time as compared to the conventional Scooter speed mode.
he urbo function will engage whenever the speed adjustment dial is set to more than 3/4 of the Sport Scooters
top speed when the throttle control lever is fully depressed.
When the urbo button is released, the Sport Scooter then returns to the normal maximum Scooter speed mode
speed of approximately 5.5 mph (depending upon where the speed adjustment dial is set).
WARNING! In the event the urbo button sticks or malfunctions when you try to use it, Pride
recommends that you release the throttle control lever to stop your Scooter. urn the speed
adjustment dial to under 3/4 full speed (below the 2 oclock position) to disable the urbo feature
and notify your authorized Pride provider immediately.
Turbo Ready Indicator LED
he yellow urbo Ready indicator (adjacent to the urbo button) illuminates when the Sport Scooter is in urbo
Ready mode. he urbo function will become inactive (yellow indicator will turn off) and the vehicle speed will
decrease (to the speed preset on the speed adjustment dial) whenever:
nthe Scooter is descending an incline exceeding approximately 7°.
nthe Scooter is driven upon a lateral bank (leftward or rightward incline) exceeding approximately 11°.
nthe Scooter is steered more than an eighth (1/8) of a turn to the left or the right (i.e., approximately over the
11 oclock and 1 oclock positions when facing the drivers side of the control console assembly).
WARNING! Your Sport Scooters urbo mode has been engineered to safely function while driving

SPEED CONTROL TECHNOLOGY (SCT)
he Laser Sport Scooter features our exclusive patent-pending Speed Control echnology (SC ) as an added
safeguard. SC senses incline conditions and vehicle direction through its four sensors to automatically disable the
urbo mode during cornering, steep descents, or extreme lateral banking. his provides the user the added confi-
dence of knowing that his/her driving skills are supplemented by a state-of-the-art system that reduces speed in
situations that require greater caution.
NOTE: The additional margin of safety provided by S T should only be considered a supplement to safe

VI. BATTERIES AND CHARGING
Your Laser requires two long-lasting, 12-volt, deep-cycle batteries that are sealed and maintenance free. hey are
recharged by an onboard 3-amp charging system.
nCharge your Lasers batteries prior to using it for the first time.
nKeep the batteries fully charged to keep your Scooter running smoothly.
READING YO R BATTERY VOLTAGE
he battery condition meter on the control console assembly indicates the approximate strength of your batteries
using a color coded bar. See figure 11. Green indicates fully charged batteries, yellow a draining charge, and red
indicates that an immediate recharge is necessary. o check the charge, you must first unplug the charger power
cord and power up your Scooter.
You can also check the charge by the ammeter, located on the electronics module. he charger power cord must
be plugged into a standard wall outlet in order to obtain a reading. When the amperage reading is at or near zero
(0) amps, the battery charging is complete. See figure 12.
CHARGING YO R BATTERIES
Follow these easy steps to charge your batteries safely:
1. Position your Sport Scooter close to a standard wall outlet.
2. Remove the key from the key switch.
3. Make certain that the freewheel lever is in the drive (down) position.
4. Plug the charger power cord into the charger power cord receptacle on your Sport Scooter.
5. Extend the charger power cord and plug it into the wall outlet. It is recommended that you charge your
batteries for 8 to 14 hours.
6. When the batteries are fully charged, unplug the charger power cord from the wall outlet and then from the
charger power cord receptacle.
NOTE: There is a charger inhibit on your Sport Scooter. The Sport Scooter will not run and the battery
condition meter will not operate while the batteries are charging.

BATTERIES AND CHARGING-FREQ ENTLY ASKED Q ESTIONS (FAQS)
How does the charger work?
When your Lasers battery voltage is low, the charger works harder and sends more electrical current to the
batteries to bring up their charge. As the voltage of the batteries approaches a full charge, the charger sends less
and less electrical current to the batteries. When the batteries are fully charged, the current sent to them from the
charger is at nearly zero amperage. herefore, when the charger is plugged in, it maintains the charge on your
Lasers batteries, but does not overcharge them. We do not recommend that you charge your Lasers batteries for
more than 24 consecutive hours.
What if my Lasers batteries wont charge?
nBe sure the battery cables are connected properly.
nBe sure both ends of the charger power cord are inserted fully.
nExamine the 5-amp charger fuse. If the fuse is blown, the batteries will not charge. See figures 9 and 10.
Can I use a different charger?
For the safest, most efficient, and balanced charging of your Lasers batteries, we prefer and highly recommend the
simultaneous charging of both batteries by using the onboard battery charger.
How often must I charge the batteries?
wo major factors must be considered when deciding how often to charge your Lasers batteries:
nAll day Sport Scooter use on a daily basis.
nInfrequent or sporadic Sport Scooter use.
With these considerations in mind, you can determine how often and for how long you should charge your Lasers
batteries. We designed the onboard charger so that it will not overcharge your Sport Scooters batteries. How-
ever, you may encounter some problems if you do not charge your batteries often enough and if you do not charge
them on a regular basis. Following the five guidelines below will provide safe and reliable battery operation and
charging.
nIf you use your Laser daily, charge its batteries as soon as you finish using it for the day. Your Laser will be ready each
morning to give you a full day of service. We recommend that you charge your Lasers batteries for 8 to 14 hours
after daily use.
nIf you use your Laser once a week or less, charge its batteries at least once a week for 12 to 14 hours at a time.
nKeep your Lasers batteries fully charged.
nAvoid deeply discharging your Lasers batteries.
nDo not charge your Lasers batteries for more than 24 consecutive hours.
