V. EMI (ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE
V. EMI (ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE)
WARNING
Heed all warnings to reduce the risk of unintended
brake release or chair movement:
1. Beware of the danger from hand-held transceivers.
Never turn on or use a hand-held transceiver while
power to your chair is on. Use extra care if you believe
that such a device may be in use near your chair.
2. Be aware of nearby radio or TV stations, and avoid
coming close to them.
3. If unintended movement occurs, turn your chair off as
soon as it is safe to do so.
A. WHAT IS EMI?
WARNING
1. EMI means: electromagnetic (EM) interference (I). EMI
comes from radio wave sources such as radio transmitters
and transceivers. (A “transceiver” is a device that both sends
and receives radio wave signals).
2. There are a number of sources of intense EMI in your daily
environment. Some of these are obvious and easy to avoid.
Others are not, and you may not be able to avoid them.
3. Powered wheelchairs may be susceptible to electromagnetic
interference (EMI) emitted from sources such as radio sta-
tions, TV stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, two
way radios, and cellular phones.
4. EMI can also be produced by conducted sources or electro-
static discharge (ESD).

IV. NOTICE– READ BEFORE USE
IV. NOTICE– READ BEFORE USE
A. CHOOSE THE RIGHT CHAIR & SAFETY
OPTIONS
Sunrise provides a choice of many power wheelchair styles, sizes
and adjustments to meet the needs of the rider. However, final
selection of a wheelchair rests solely with you and your health care
professional. Choosing the best chair for you depends on such
things as:
1. Your size, disability, strength, balance and coordination.
2. Your intended use, and your level of activity.
3. The types of hazards you must overcome in daily use (in
areas where you are likely to use your chair).
4. The need for options for your safety and comfort (such as
positioning belts or special seat systems).
B. ADJUST CHAIR TO YOUR ABILITY
You need to work with your doctor, nurse or therapist, and your
supplier, to fit this chair and adjust the controller settings for your
level of function and ability.
C. REVIEW THIS MANUAL OFTEN
Before using this chair you, and each person who may assist you,
should read this entire Manual and make sure to follow all instruc-
tions. Review the warnings often, until they are second nature to
you.
D. WARNINGS
The word “WARNING” refers to a hazard or unsafe practice that
may cause severe injury or death to you or to other persons. The
“Warnings” are in four main sections, as follows:
1. V — EMI
Here you will learn about electromagnetic interference and
how it can affect your chair.
2. VI — GENERAL WARNINGS
Here you will find a safety checklist and a summary of risks
you need to be aware of before you ride this chair.
3. VII — WARNINGS — COMPONENTS & OPTIONS
Here you will learn about your chair. Consult your supplier
and your health care professional to help you choose the
best set-up and options for your safety.
4. XI — BATTERIES
Here you will learn about battery and charger safety, and how to
avoid injury.
Q-NOTE– Where they apply, you will also find “Warnings” in other
sections of this Manual.
Throughout this owner’s manual and on the wheelchair you will
see the icons listed below to identify warnings and potential haz-
ards. It is important to read and understand all of them and under-
stand them.
WARNING! These warnings must be followed, failure to do
so may cause personal injury or may damage
the wheelchair.
PROHIBITED! Prohibited actions must never be per-
formed. Performing an action that is
prohibited can cause personal injury
or may damage the wheelchair.
Q-NOTE: Q-Notes are informative statements to help
further explain actions, warnings or product
detail.
ESD: Electrostatic Discharge has a potential to dam-
age printed circuit boards unless handled cor-
rectly. When the ESD symbol is shown through-
out the owner manual, use the Proper Handling
Techniques Insert supplied with the chair to
properly handle printed circuit board.

ENGLISH V.
2. The higher the immunity level, the less the risk of EMI. It is
believed that a 20 V/m immunity level will protect the power
wheelchair user from the more common sources of radio
waves.
3. The configurations tested and found to be immune to at least
20 V/m are:
a. Zippie Z-Bop power wheelchair with a right-hand
mounted Quickie controller, highback seat, flip-back arm-
rests, solid flip-up footplate and U1 gel cell batteries.
b. Zippie Z-Bop power wheelchair with a right-hand
mounted Quickie controller, highback seat, flip-back arm-
rests, solid flip-up footplate and 40Amh gel cell batteries.
4. The following specialty import devices have an unknown
effect on the immunity level because they have not been
tested on the Zippie Z-Bop with the Quickie controller:
• Breath Control
•Ribbon Switch
• Disc Switch
• Proportional Head Control
• Proportional Mini-Joystick/Chin Control
• Buddy Button
• Micro Light
• Penta Switch
• Wobble Switch
• ASL Head Array
•HMC Mini-Joystick
• Egg Switch
•Switch-It head Array
WARNING
Individuals with physical limitations requiring the use of
a specialty control input device known not to be
immune to 20V/m, or not known, should exercise extra
care around known sources of EMI.
WARNING
There is no way to know the effect on EMI if you add
accessories or modify this chair. Any change to your
chair may increase the risk of EMI. Parts from other
suppliers have unknown EMI properties.
F. REPORT ALL SUSPECTED EMI
INCIDENTS
WARNING
You should promptly report any unintended movement
or brake release. Be sure to indicate whether there was
a radio wave source near your chair at the time.
Contact: Sunrise Medical Customer Service
Department at [phone].
B. WHAT EFFECT CAN EMI HAVE?
WARNING
1. EMI can cause your chair, without warning, to:
• Release its brakes
• Move by itself
• Move in unintended directions
If any of these occurs, it could result in severe injury to
you or others.
2. EMI can damage the control system of your chair. This could
create a safety hazard, and lead to costly repairs.
C. SOURCES OF EMI
WARNING
The sources of EMI fall into three broad types:
1. Hand-Held Transceivers:
The antenna is usually mounted directly on the unit. These
include:
• Citizens band (CB) radios
•“Walkie-talkies”
• Security, fire and police radios
•Cellular phones
•Lap-top computers with phone or fax
• Other personal communication devices
Q-NOTE– These devices can transmit signals while they are on, even
if not in use.
2. Medium-Range Mobile Transceivers:
These include two-way radios used in police cars, fire trucks,
ambulances and taxi cabs. The antenna is usually mounted on the
outside of the vehicle.
3. Long-Range Transceivers:
These include commercial radio and TV broadcast antenna towers
and amateur (HAM) radios. Note: The following are not likely to
cause EMI problems: Lap-top computers (without phone or fax),
Cordless phones, TV sets or AM/FM radios, CD or tape players.
D. DISTANCE FROM THE SOURCE
WARNING
EM energy rapidly becomes more intense as you get
closer to the source. For this reason, EMI from hand-
held devices is of special concern. (See C.1) A person
using one of these devices can bring high levels of EM
energy very close to your chair without you knowing it.
E. IMMUNITY LEVEL
WARNING
1. The level of EM energy is measured in volts per meter (V/m).
Every power wheelchair can resist EMI up to a certain level.
This is called its “immunity level”.

others from chair failure.
4. Exceeding the weight limit will void the warranty.
C. CONTROLLER SETTINGS
WARNING
Be aware that you may need to adjust the controller
settings of your chair to reduce the risk of a collision,
fall or tip-over.
1. Check and adjust the settings every six to twelve months (or
more often, if needed).
2. Consult your supplier to adjust the control settings immedi-
ately if you notice any change in your ability to:
• Control the joystick.
• Hold your torso erect.
• Avoid running into objects.
D. EMI
WARNING
Read Section V to learn about EMI. To reduce the risk
of unintended brake release or chair movement:
1. Never turn on or use a hand-held transceiver while power to
your chair is on. Use extra care if you believe that such a
device may be in use near your chair.
2. Be aware of nearby radio or TV stations, and avoid coming
close to them.
3. If unintended movement or brake release occurs, turn your
chair off as soon as it is safe.
E. SAFETY CHECK-LIST
WARNING
Before each use of this chair:
1. Make sure the chair operates smoothly. Check for noise,
vibration, or a change in ease of use. (They may indicate low
tire pressure, loose fasteners, or damage to your chair). If
you detect a problem, make sure to repair or adjust the
chair. Deferring repair or adjustment could increase the risk
for injury. Your supplier can help you find and correct the
problem.
2. Make sure batteries are charged. Green lights on charge indi-
cator will light up when charge is full. Yellow lights indicate
battery charge level is getting low. Red lights indicate batter-
ies are in immediate need of charging.
3. If your chair has anti-tip tubes, lock them into place (manual
carrier only).

932213 Rev. C 8
ENGLISH VI.
WARNING
Extra caution should be used when employing the disc
switch or the proximity head array as control devices.
These two devices are susceptible to malfunction when
wet.
I. TERRAIN
WARNING
1. This chair is designed for use on firm, even surfaces such as
concrete, asphalt and indoor flooring.
2. Do not operate your chair in sand, loose soil or over rough
terrain. Doing so may damage wheels, bearings, axles or
motors, or loosen fasteners.
J. STREET USE
WARNING
In most states, power chairs are not legal for use on
public roads. Be alert to the danger of motor vehicles
on roads or in parking lots.
1. At night, or when it is hard to see, use reflective tape on
your chair and clothing.
2. It may be hard for drivers to see you. Make eye contact with
drivers before you proceed. When in doubt, yield until you
are sure it is safe.
K. MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY
WARNING
To date, the U.S. Department of Transportation has not
approved any tie down system for transporting this
wheelchair in a motor vehicle.
1. Never sit in this chair while in a moving vehicle. In an acci-
dent or sudden stop you may be thrown from the chair.
• Wheelchair belts are designed to position the rider
only and will not protect you in an accident; further
injury may result from the belts.
2. Always move to an approved vehicle seat. You must be
secured with proper motor vehicle restraints.
3. Never transport this chair in the front seat of a vehicle. It
may shift and interfere with the driver.
4. Always secure this chair so that it cannot roll or shift.
L. CENTER OF BALANCE
WARNING
The point where this chair will tip forward, back or to
the side depends on its center of balance and stability.
The Center Of Balance Is Affected By:
1. The seat height and seat angle.
2. A change in your body position, posture or weight distribution.
3. Using this chair on a ramp or slope.
4. The use of a back pack or other options, and the amount of
added weight.
T
o Reduce The Risk Of A Fall Or Tip-Over:
1. Consult your supplier for information on modifications
authorized by Sunrise before you modify or adjust this chair.
Q-NOTE– You may need to make additional changes to correct the
center of balance.
F. CHANGES & ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING
Never use non-Zippie parts or make changes to your
chair unless authorized by Sunrise. (Doing so will void
the Warranty and may create a safety hazard).
1. If you modify or adjust this chair it may increase the risk of a
fall or tip-over.
2. Modifications to the chair, seating system, or other compo-
nents which are unauthorized by Sunrise constitutes remanu-
facturing of the wheelchair. This voids the warranty. The
rider then assumes all future liability for the wheelchair.
3. We recomment that you use anti-tip tubes until you adopt to
the change and are sure you are not at risk to tip over (man-
ual carrier only).
G. WHEN SEATED IN A PARKED
WHEELCHAIR
WARNING
1. Always turn off all power to your chair when you are parked,
even for a moment. This will prevent:
• Accidental movement from contact with the joystick by
you or others.
• Unintended brake release or movement from EMI
sources. (See Section V)
2. Make sure that persons who help you (for example, store
clerks) are aware of the joystick and do not touch it. If they
do, your chair may move suddenly when you do not expect it.
H. ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
WARNING
Your chair is not designed for use in a heavy rain storm,
or in snowy or icy conditions.
1. Contact with water or excessive moisture can cause an elec-
trical malfunction. The frame, motors and other chair parts
are not watertight and may rust or corrode from the inside.
To avoid a chair failure:
• Minimize exposure of your chair to a rain storm or very
wet conditions.
• Never take your chair into a shower, tub, pool or sauna.
• Do not use your chair in fresh or salt water (such as at
the edge of a stream, lake, or ocean).
• Make sure shroud cover and deck lid are secure.
• Replace joystick boot if it becomes torn or cracked.
• Make sure all electrical connections are secure.
• Dry the chair as soon as you can if it gets wet, or if you
use water to clean it.
2. Proceed slowly and use extra care if you must operate your
chair on a wet or slick surface.
• Do so only if you are sure it is safe.
• Stop if one or both main wheels lose traction. If this
occurs, you may lose control of your chair or fall.
• Never operate your chair on a slope or ramp if there is
snow, ice, water or oil film present.
• When in doubt, have someone help you.
3. When not in use, keep your chair in a clean, dry place.

932213 Rev. C

ENGLISH VI.
2. Use extreme care until you know the balance points of this
chair and how to avoid a fall or tip-over.
3. Use anti-tip tubes (manual carrier).
4. have someone help you until you know the balance points of
your chair and how to avoid tip-over.
M. TRANSFERS
WARNING
It is dangerous to transfer on your own. It requires
good balance and agility. Be aware that there is a point
during every transfer when the wheelchair seat is not
below you. To avoid a fall:
1. Always turn off power before you transfer to or from your
chair. If you fail to do so you may touch the joystick and
cause your chair to move when you do not expect it.
2. Make sure motor locks are engaged. This keeps the chair
from moving when you transfer.
3. Work with your health care professional to learn safe methods.
• Learn how to position your body and how to support
yourself during a transfer.
• Have someone help you until you are sure you can do a
safe transfer on your own.
4. Move your chair as close as you can to the seat you are
transferring to. If possible, use a transfer board.
5. Rotate the front casters until they are as far forward as possi-
ble.
6. Be careful of the foot platform. If you can, remove or swing
it out of the way.
• Never stand on footrests when you transfer. Doing so
may damage them or cause your chair to tip.
• Make sure your feet do not “hang up” or get caught in
the space between the footrests.
7. Make sure armrests do not interfere.
8. Transfer as far back onto the seat surface as you can. This
will reduce the risk that you will miss the seat or fall.
N. REACHING OR LEANING
WARNING
Reaching or leaning affects the center of balance of your
chair. If done improperly, a fall or tip-over is likely.
When in doubt, ask for help or use a device to extend
your reach.
To Reduce the Risk of injury and/or Damage to the Chair:
1. Never reach or lean if you must shift your weight sideways
or rise up off the seat.
2. Never reach or lean if you must move forward in your seat
to do so. Always keep your buttocks in contact with the
backrest.
3. Never reach with both hands (you may not be able to catch
yourself to prevent a fall if you lose your balance).
4. Never try to pick up an object from the floor by reaching
down between your knees.
5. Never put pressure on the footrest while reaching. This may
cause the chair to tip if you lean too far.
6. Never reach or lean over the top of the seat back. This may
damage the backrest and cause you to fall.
7. Never reach or lean to the rear unless your chair has anti-tip
tubes locked in place (manual carrier).
IF YOU MUST REACH OR LEAN, DO SO AT
YOUR OWN RISK.
Remember to:
1. Move your chair as close as you can to the object you wish
to reach.
2. Rotate the front casters until they are as far forward as possi-
ble. This makes the chair more stable.
Q-NOTE– To do this: Move your chair past the object you want to
reach, then back up alongside it. Backing up will rotate the casters
forward.
3. Turn off all power to your chair. If you fail to do so, you may
touch the joystick and cause your chair to move when you
do not expect it.
4. Firmly grasp an armrest with one hand. This will help to pre-
vent a fall if the chair tips.
O. DRESSING OR CHANGING CLOTHES
WARNING
Be aware that your weight will shift if you dress or
change clothes while seated in this chair. To make the
chair more stable, rotate the front casters until they are
forward and lock anti-tip tubes in place when applicable.
P. OBSTACLES
WARNING
Obstacles you may have to overcome in daily use
include door thresholds, lifts, ramps and hazards such as
potholes and broken pavement. These can damage your
chair and may cause a fall, tip-over or loss of control.
1. Be aware that thresholds are very dangerous. (Even a small
change in height may stop a caster wheel and cause your
chair to tip). You may need to:
• Remove or cover threshold strips between rooms.
• Install a ramp at entry or exit doors.
2. Keep your eyes moving when you ride; scan the area well
ahead of your chair.
3. Make sure the floor areas where you use this chair are level
and free of obstacles.
4. To help correct your center of balance:
• Lean your upper body forward slightly as you go up over
an obstacle.
• Press your upper body backward as you go down from a
higher to a lower level.
5. If your chair has anti-tip tubes, lock them in place before you
go up over an obstacle.
Q. DRIVING IN REVERSE OR MOVING
BACKWARD
WARNING
Use extra care when you drive your chair in reverse.
You may lose control or fall if one of the rear wheels
hits an object.
1. Operate your chair slowly and at an even speed.
2. Stop often and check to make sure your path is clear of
obstacles.
3. If your chair has anti-tip tubes, make sure to lock them into
place.

U. WHEELCHAIR LIFTS
WARNING
Wheelchair lifts are used in vans, buses, and buildings to
help you move from one level to another.
1. Always turn off all power to your chair when you are on a
lift. If you fail to do so, you may touch the joystick by acci-
dent and cause your chair to drive off the platform. (Be
aware that a “roll-stop” at the end of the platform may not
prevent this).
2. Make sure there is not a lip or drop-off at the top or bottom
of the platform. These may cause a fall or tip-over. When in
doubt, have someone help you.
3. Always secure the rider with a positioning belt to help pre-
vent falls during transfers.
4. Avoid moving forward if a wheel is “hung up” on the lip of
the ramp. Backup, reposition the caster for a more direct
approach and slowly try again.
V. CURBS & SINGLE STEPS
WARNING
1. It is recommended to climb and/or descend a curb, single step,
or other obstacle that a ramp or curb cutout is always used.
2. If you must climb or descend a curb, single step, or other
obstacle that is greater than 2.5", it is recommended to have
a person assist you in doing so.
3. In no case should you try to climb a curb, single step, or
other obstacle greater than 4" high.
4. If you must climb or descend a curb or step alone do so at
your own risk using extreme care and follow the following
procedure:
• Proceed slowly, at a steady speed
• Go as straight up or down as you can over the obstacle.
Never turn when trying to climb or descend and obstacle,
doing so may result in a fall or tip-over.
5. Failure to follow the above procedures may cause:
• A Fall or Tip Over
• Damage to the frame, wheels, axles or other parts, or
loose fasteners.
W. STAIRS
WARNING
Never use this chair to go up or down stairs, even with
an attendant. Doing so is likely to cause a fall or tip-over.
X. ESCALATORS
WARNING
Never take this chair on an escalator, even with an
attendant. Doing so is likely to cause a fall or tip-over.
R. RAMPS, SLOPES & SIDEHILLS
WARNING
The center of balance of your chair changes when you
are on a slope.
Q-NOTE– “Slope” includes a ramp or sidehill. Your chair is less stable
when it is at an angle. Never use this chair on a slope unless you are
sure it is safe. When in doubt, have someone help you.
Beware Of:
1. Steep slopes. Do Not use this chair on a slope steeper than
10%. (A 10% slope means one foot in elevation for every
ten feet of slope length.)
2. Wet or slippery surfaces (such as when ice, snow, water or oil
film is present). A loss of traction may cause a fall or tip-over.
3. A change in grade on a slope (or a lip, bump or depression).
These may cause a fall or tip-over.
4. A drop-off at the bottom of a slope. (A drop-off of as small
as 3/4 inch can stop a front caster and cause the chair to tip
forward).
S. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A FALL, TIP-
OVER OR LOSS OF CONTROL
WARNING
1. Never use your chair on a slope unless you are sure you can
do so without losing traction.
2. Always go as straight up and as straight down as you can.
• Do not “cut the corner” on a slope or ramp.
• Do not turn or change direction on a slope.
3. Always stay in the center of the ramp. Make sure ramp is
wide enough that you are not at risk that a wheel may roll off
the side.
4. Lean or press your body uphill. This will help adjust for a
change in the center of balance caused by the slope.
5. Keep your chair moving at a slow, steady speed. Keep control
over the chair at all times.
• On a descent, do not let your chair accelerate beyond its
normal speed.
• If the chair picks up speed, center the joystick to slow
down or stop.
• If you stop, re-start slowly.
T. RAMPS AT HOME & WORK
WARNING
Make sure ramps meet all Building Codes for your area.
1. For your safety, have a licensed contractor build or remodel
ramp to meet all standards.
Q-NOTE– The proper design will vary, depending on such things as:
the length and height of the ramp; the need for an intermediate
platform; landing size; doors and the direction of swing; and whether
the ramp includes a turn or angle.
At A Minimum:
1. Open sides of ramp must have side rails to prevent your
chair from going over the edge.
2. Slope must not be steeper than one inch in height for every
one foot of slope length.
3. Ramp surface must be even, and have a non-skid surface.
4. You may need to add a section at the top or bottom to avoid
a lip or drop-off.
5. Ramp must be sturdy. Add bracing if needed, so ramp does
not “bow” when you ride on it.
