EMI / RFI
The rapid development of electronics, especially in the area of communications,
has saturated our environment with electromagnetic (radio) waves that are
emitted by television transmitters, cellular phones, citizen’s band radios (CBs)
amateur radios (HAM radios), wireless computers links, microwave transmitters,
paging transmitters, etc. These electromagnetic (EM) waves are invisible and
increase in strength the closer one gets to the source of transmission. When
these energy waves act upon electrical devices and cause them to malfunction or
to function in an erratic or uncontrolled manner, they are referred to as
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) or Radio Frequency Interference (RFI).
EMI / RFI AND YOUR BUZZAROUND LITE™
All electrically powered vehicles, including scooters are susceptible to EMI / RFI.
This interference could result in abnormal or unintended movement of your
Golden Technologies Buzzaround Lite.
The FDA has determined that each make and model of scooter can resist EMI /
RFI to a certain level. The higher the level of resistance, the greater the degree
of protection from EMI / RFI – measured in volts per meter (V/M). The FDA has
also determined that current technology is capable of providing 20 V/M of
resistance to EMI/RFI, which would provide useful protection against common
sources of interference. The resistance level of the Golden Technologies
Buzzaround Lite is unknown.
EMI / RFI RECOMMENDATIONS
• Do not turn on or use hand-held personal electronic communication
devices such as cellular phones, walkie-talkies, or CB radios while your
scooter is turned on.
• Be aware of any nearby transmitters (radio, television, microwave, etc.) on
your intended route and avoid operation of your scooter close to any of
those transmitters.
• Remove the key if your Buzzaround Lite is going to be in a stationary
position for any length of time.
• Be aware that adding accessories or components or modifying your
scooter may make it more susceptible to EMI / RFI.
• If unintended movement or brake release occurs, turn your scooter off and
remove the key as soon as it is safe to do so.
• Report all incidents of unintended movement or brake failure to Golden
Technologies.
WARNING: TURN OFF YOUR SCOOTER AND REMOVE THE KEY AS SOON AS IT IS SAFE
TO DO SO IF UNINTENDED OR UNCONTROLLABLE MOTION OCCURS OR IF
UNINTENDED BRAKE RELEASE OCCURS.
