2) Be aware of nearby transmitters, such as radio or TV stations, and
try to avoid coming close to them;
3) If unintended movement or brake release occurs, turn the powered
scooter OFF as soon as it is safe.
4) Be aware that adding accessories or components, or modifying the
powered scooter, may make it more susceptible to EMI (Note: There
is no easy way to evaluate their effect on the overall immunity of the
powered scooter.
5) Report all incidents of unintended movement or brake release to the
powered scooter manufacturer, and note whether there is a source of
EMI nearby.
If unintended motion or brake release occurs, turn the power
OFF as soon as it is safe.
FDA recommends that you report all incidents of unintended
motion or brake release to us or your dealer, and if possible, note
whether there was a radio wave source nearby at the time of the
incident. You may also report to FDA’s MedWatch problem reporting
program. Call 1-800-FDA-1088 and ask for Form 3500.
The following warning label is included in order to make users
always aware that a possibility of electromagnetic interference exists.
WARNING: Radio wave sources may affect scooter control
Radio waves sources, such as radio stations, TV stations, amateur
radio (HAM) transmitters, cellular phones, and two-way radios, can
affect motorized scooters. Following the warnings listed below should
reduce the chance of unintended brake release or scooter movement,
which could result in serious injury. 1). Do not turn ON or use
hand-held personal communication devices, such as citizens band
(CB) radios and cellular phones, while your scooter is turned ON; 2).
Be aware of nearby transmitters, such as radio or TV stations and
hand-held or mobile two-way radios, and try to avoid coming close to
them. 3). If unintended movement or brake release occurs, turn the
power OFF as soon as it is safe. 4). Be aware that adding accessories
or components, or modifying your scooter, may make it more
susceptible to interference from radio wave sources. (Note: There is
no easy way to evaluate their effect on the overall immunity of the
scooter), and 5). Report all incidents of unintended movement or
brake release to the scooter manufacturer, and note whether there is a
radio wave source nearby. Important Information: 1) 20 volts per
meter (v/m) is a generally achievable and useful immunity lever,
against interference from radio wave sources (as of May 1994) (the
higher the lever, the greater the protection); 2) The immunity level of
this product is not known.
