Appendix B – Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)
Your power chair’s performance may be influenced by electromagnetic fields caused by
mobile telephones or other radiating devices, such as hand-held radios, radio and television
stations, wireless computer links, microwave sources, and pagers.
Your power chair may also be a source of electromagnetic and radio frequency interference.
