EMI Warning

6
Shoprider®scootersmaybesusceptibletoelectromagneticinterference(EMI),whichisakind
of interfering electromagnetic energy (EM) emitted from sources such as radio stations, TV
stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, two-way radio, and cellular phones. The
interference (from radio wave sources) can cause the scooter to release its brakes, move by
itself,ormoveinunintendeddirections. Itcanalsopermanentlydamagethescooter’scontrol
system. The sources of radiated EMI can be broadly classified into three types:
1.Hand-heldportabletransceivers(transmitters-receivers)withtheantennamounteddirectly
onthetransmittingunit.Examplesinclude:citizensband(CB)radios,“walkietalkie”,security,
fireandpolicetransceivers,cellulartelephones,andotherpersonalcommunicationdevices.
NOTE!SomecellulartelephonesandsimilardevicestransmitsignalswhiletheyareON,
even when not being used.
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
vehicle.
3. Long-range transmitters and transceivers, such as commercial broadcast transmitters
(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 players, and cassette players, and small appliances, such
as electric shavers and hair dryers, so far as we know, are not likely to cause problems
to the scooter.
Scooter Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)
Because EM energy rapidly becomes more intense as one moves closer to the transmitting
antenna (source), the EM fields from hand-held radio sources (transceivers) are of special
concern. It is possible to unintentionally bring high levels of EM energy very close to the
scooter’s control system while using these devices. This can affect scooter movement and
braking. Therefore, the warnings listed below are recommended to prevent possible
interference with the control system of the scooter.
WARNINGS

2.Beawareofnearbytransmitters,suchasradioorTVstations,andtrytoavoidcomingclose

3.Ifunintendedmovementorbrakereleaseoccurs,turnthescooterOFFassoonasitissafe.
4. Be aware that adding accessories or components, or modifying the scooter may make it
more susceptible to EMI.
NOTE! There is no easy way to evaluate the overall immunity of the scooter.

Armrest Adjustment
Width (Fig. 3)
On the underside of the seat there are two
hand knobs, one either side. Loosening the
hand knob allows the arm rest to be adjusted
to the required width, or removed for
transportation.
Do not use the scooter without the arms
being fitted.
Angle (Fig. 4)
Flip up the armrests to allow access to the
adjustable bolt and lock nut, unscrew the
lock-nut and screw the bolt in or out to
increase or decrease the angle. Re-tighten
the lock-nut. Your scooter is dispatched
from the factory with the armrests set
parallel to the floor.
Length (Fig. 5)
Located under the armrest bracket is a
hand knob. By turning counter-clockwise
to release, the armrest can be extended
and reset in position by re-tightening the
hand knob.
