Important Information Regarding Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)
It is very important that you read this information regarding the possible effects of electromagnetic interference (EMI) on
your power chair.
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) refers to the effects that outside sources of electromagnetic energy (radio and
television broadcasts, CB radios, garage door openers, cellular telephones, etc.) might have on the control systems of your
power wheel chair. The interference from these sources could cause the power chair to release its brakes, move by itself,
or to move in an unintended direction. EMI could also result in permanent damage to the control system.
The sources of electromagnetic energy can be broadly classified into three types:
•Hand held short-range portable transceivers. These are transmitter/receivers with the antenna mounted
directly on the unit. Examples include: citizen band (CB) radios,“walkie-talkies”, security, fire and police
transceivers, cellular telephones, and devices that transmit signals even when not in use.
•Medium range mobile transceivers. These usually have the antenna mounted outside of a vehicle or building.
Examples include police, fire, ambulance and taxi transceivers.
•Long range transmitters and receivers. These usually have the antenna mounted on a tower. Examples
include commercial radio and television broadcasts and amateur (HAM) radios.

Fold & Go Model 760 PowerChair Owner’s Manual
EMC Part: 19272200 • Rev. 01 • 01/05/04

Other types of hand-held devices like cordless phones, laptop computers,AM/FM radios, and small appliances like hair
dryers or electric shavers may also generate electromagnetic energy, but it is such a small amount that, as far as we know,
no EMI problems should occur with these devices.
The intensity of interference from electromagnetic energy is measured in volts per meter (v/m), which refers to the
strength of the electrical source (voltage) as it relates to the distance away from the object being considered (in meters).
Resistance of a PowerChair to a certain EMI intensity is commonly called its “immunity level”. 20 volts/meter is a
generally achievable and useful immunity level against interference from radio wave sources (the higher the immunity level,
the greater the protection).
Your PowerChair has been tested and found to meet the required immunity level for Electromagnetic Interference (20 v/m).
WARNING!
Even with an immunity level of 20 volts/meter, certain precautions must be followed to ensure
that your PowerChair will not be affected by outside electromagnetic sources:
•Do not operate hand-held transceivers such as citizen band (CB) radios or turn on powered communication
devices such as cellular phones while the power chair is turned on.
•Be aware of nearby transmitters, such as radio and television stations, and avoid coming close to them.

EMC Part: 19272200 • Rev. 01 • 01/05/04

•If an unintended movement should occur while operating the PowerChair, turn the PowerChair “off” as soon as it
is safe to do so.
•Be aware that if you do operate any electrically powered accessories, radios, cellular phones, or other devices, that
your power chair may become more susceptible to interference from outside electromagnetic sources.
•Report all incidents of unintended movement or unexpected brake releases to Electric Mobility’s Customer
Service Department.

Controls
The joystick assembly mounted on the armrest provides all major operating controls and displays for the Model 760.
Controls are shown in Figure 2 and described in the following.
Figure 2 — Controller
Battery Level Indicator
Indicates the charge level of your batteries. The three green
lamps, when lit, indicate fully charged batteries, four amber
lamps indicate a caution level and three red lamps indicate
the batteries must be charged as soon as possible.
The Battery Level Indicator lamps are also used as a
Diagnostic Indicator when troubleshooting problems with
the vehicle (see “Troubleshooting” on page 34).
Speed Indicator
Indicates selected maximum speed of the power chair, as
selected by the Speed Increase/Decrease controls (see
following). Faster speeds are indicated by the number of
lamps lit (total, 5).

On/Off Switch
The on/off switch is located on top of the controller in
front of the joystick. Pressing the switch turns the
controller on and pressing it again turns the controller off.
The battery level indicator lamps will light up when the
controller is “On.”
The On/Off switch is also used to “lock” the power chair
to prevent unauthorized use (see “Locking and Unlocking” on
page 24).
Horn
Pressing the horn button sounds the horn. Releasing the
horn button deactivates the horn. The horn is useful to
warn people or animals that you are coming towards them.
You may also find it helpful to use it when rounding blind
corners or going in reverse.
Speed Increase/Decrease
Selects the desired maximum speed of the vehicle. Settings
are shown on the Speed Indicator (see previous).
Charger/Programmer Connection
The Controller includes a Charger/Programmer Connection
receptacle located on the underside of the unit. This
connection can be used as an alternative charger connection
if connecting to the Battery Pack is inconvenient.

Joystick Operation
Use the following to learn how to control your power chair from the joystick of the controls.
Going Forward/Backward Pushing the joystick forward will move the power chair forward and pushing it backward
will move backward. Release all pressure on the joystick to bring the unit to a complete
stop. Find a level open area with no obstructions and try moving the unit forward and
backward only. See how the unit stops when you release the joystick.
Turning Left/Right Pushing the joystick to the right will pivot the unit around to the right, while pushing the
joystick to the left pivots the unit around to the left. Try turning to the right and left and
see how the unit comes to a complete stop when you release the joystick. Moving the
joystick in a combined way (forward or backward and right or left) will move the unit in
that combined direction.
Braking Whenever the joystick is moved from the neutral (center) position, the electromagnetic
brake will automatically release and allow the power chair to move. When the joystick is
returned to the neutral position, the power chair will decelerate and come to a complete
stop. If your power chair ever moves in an unexpected manner, immediately switch the
On/Off button to “OFF”.
