Information regarding Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)
This section contains information on the possible effects of electromagnetic
interference to your vehicle.
EMI refers to the effects electromagnetic energy might have on the control
systems of your vehicle. The interference could cause the brakes to release, the
vehicle to move by itself or damage the electronics.
There are broadly three types of sources of electromagnetic energy:
1. Hand Held, Short Range Portable Transceivers. Examples include: CB
radios, walkie-talkies, security, fire and police transceivers, mobile phones
and other devices that transmit a signal even when not in use.
2. Medium Range Mobile Transceivers. Examples include: police, fire,
ambulance and taxi transceivers.
3. Long Range Transmitters and Receivers. Examples include: radio and
television towers and amateur (HAM) radios.
There is an immunity level that has to be met by law and your scooter has been
tested to the required level. For a full technical explanation see Page 31 in this
document.
WARNING
Even though your vehicle meets the requirements it is recommended that you
follow certain precautions.
1. Do not operate hand held transceivers such as CB radios or mobile
phones while the vehicle is switched on.
2. Be aware of transmitter masts, such as television and radio stations.
Avoid getting close to them.
If your vehicle starts to operate by itself switch it off and call your service
provider. Report all faults of this type.
