Remarks on electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)

Your electric wheelchair has been tested according EN 61000-4-3 and EN 61000-4-2 for
EMC-compliance.
We wish to point out that sources of electromagnetic waves are liable to create interferences.
The electronics of the wheelchair itself could affect other electric appliances too.
To reduce the effect of electromagnetic sources of interference, please read the following
warnings:
L
WARNING:
The wheelchair might disturb the operation of devices in its
environment that emit electromagnetic field.
L
WARNING:
The driving performance of the wheelchair can be influenced by
electromagnetic fields (e.g. electricity generators or high power sources).
L
WARNING:
Avoid using any portable TV or radio in the immediate environment of
your wheelchair for as long as it is turned on.
L
WARNING:
Avoid using any transmitter-receiver in the immediate environment of
your wheelchair for as long as it is turned on.
L
WARNING:
Check the area for transmitter masts and avoid using the wheelchair
close to them.
L
WARNING:
If involuntary movements or braking occur, turn off the wheelchair as
soon as it is safe to do so.
Interfering electromagnetic fields may have a negative effect on the wheelchair's electronic
systems. These can include:
•
Disengagement of the engine brake
•
Uncontrollable behavior by the wheelchair
•
Unintentional steering movements
In the presence of very strong or enduring interfering fields, the electronic systems could
even break down entirely or suffer permanent damage.
