ELECTROMAGNETIC AND RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE (EMI/RFI)
WARNING! Laboratory tests have shown that electromagnetic and radio frequency waves
can have an adverse affect on the performance of electrically -powered devices, such as
lift chairs.
Electromagnetic and Radio Frequency interference can some from sources such as cellular phones,
mobile two-way radios (such as walkie-talkies) radio stations, TV stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmit-
ters, wireless computer links, microwave signals, paging transmitters, and medium-range mobile trans-
ceivers used by emergency vehicles. In some cases, these waves can cause unintended movement or
damage to the control system of electrically-powered devices. Every electronically-powered device has
an immunity ( or resistance ) to EMI. The higher the immunity level, the greater the protection against
EMI. Per EMC standards, this product has passed immunity testing and is suitable for use in all establish-
ments, including domestic establishments.
WARNING! Be aware that cell phones, two - way radios, laptops, and other types of radio
transmitters may cause unintended movement of your electrically-powered device due to
EMI. Exercise caution when using any of these items while operating your lift chair.
WARNING! The addition of accessories or components to the lift chair can increase the
susceptibility of the chair to EMI. DO not modify your lift chair in any way not authorized
by shoprider.
WARNING! Your lift chair itself can disturb the performance of other electrical devices
located nearby, such as alarm systems.
NOTE: If unintended motion occurs, discontinue use of the life chair. Contact Shoprider to
report the incident.
