EMI WARNINGS

Electromagnetic interference (EMI) from sources such as radio and TV stations, amateur radio (HAM)

transmitters, two-way radios, and cellular telephones can aﬀect powered wheelchairs. Following the

warnings listed below should reduce the chance of unintended brake release or powered wheelchair

movement which could result in serious injury.

WARNING: Do not operate hand-held transceivers (transmitters-receivers), such as citi-

zens band (CB) radios, or turn on personal communication devices, such as

cellular telephones, while the powered wheelchair is turned on.

WARNING: Be aware of nearby transmitters, such as radio or TV stations, and try to

avoid coming close to them.

WARNING: If unintended movement or brake release occurs, turn the powered wheel-

chair off as soon as it is safe.

WARNING: Be aware that adding accessories or components, or modifying the powered

wheelchair, may make it more susceptible to EMI (Note: There is no easy

way to evaluate their effect on the overall immunity of the powered wheel-

chair).

WARNING: Report all incidence of unintended movement or brake release to Graham-

Field Health Products, and note whether there is a source of EMI nearby.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

1) 20 volts per meter (V/m) is a generally achievable and useful immunity level against EMI (as of May

1994) (the higher the level, the greater the protection);

2) is powered wheelchair model has an immunity level of 20 V/m.

Be aware that using diﬀerent components, adding accessories, or modifying the powered wheelchair may

change the immunity level.
