2. SAFETY NOTICE

2.4 EMI

This portion of the content will provide the user with basic information that describes the

problems with EMI, known sources of EMI, protective measures either to lessen the possibility

or exposure or to minimize the degree of exposure, and suggested action should unexpected

or erratic movement occur.

Caution: It is very important that you read this information regarding the possible effects

of electromagnetic interference on your electric scooter.

■ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE (EMI) FROM RADIO WAVE SOURCES

Powered vehicle may be susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI), which is interfering

electromagnetic energy (EM) emitted from sources such as radio stations, TV stations,

amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, two-way radios, and cellular phones. The interference

(from radio wave sources) can cause the powered vehicle to release its brakes, move byitself,

or move in unintended directions. It can also permanently damage the powered vehicle‟s

control system. The intensity of the interfering EM energy can be measured in volts per meter

(V/m). Each powered vehicle can resist EMI up to a certain intensity. This is called its

“immunity level”. The higher the immunity level, the greater the protection. At this time, current

technology is capable of achieving at least a 20 V/m immunity level, which would provide

useful protection from the more common sources of radiated EMI. This powered vehicle

model as shipped, with no further modification, has an immunity level of 20 V/m without any

accessories.

There are a number of sources of relatively intense electromagnetic fields in the everyday

environment. Some of these sources are obvious and easy to avoid. Others are not apparent

and exposure is unavoidable. However, we believe that by following the warning listed below,

your risk to EMI will be minimized.

The sources of radiated EMI can be broadly classified into three types:

1. Hand-held portable transceivers ( transmitter-receivers with the antenna mounted

directly on the transmitting unit. Examples include: citizens band (CB) radios, “ walkie

talkie”, security, fire, and police transceivers, cellular telephones and other personal

communication devices.

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 transmitter

(radio and TV broadcast antenna towers) and amateur (HAM) radios;
