Safety Handling
obvious and easy to avoid. Others are not apparent and exposure
is unavoidable. However, we believe that by following the warnings
listed below, your risk to EMI will be minimized.
The sources of radiated EMI can be broadly classified into three types:
1. Handheld Portable transceivers (transmittersreceivers 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).
Some cellular telephones and similar devices transmit
signals while they are ON, even when not being used.
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; and
3. Long range transmitters and transceivers, such as commercial
broadcast transmitters (radio and TV broadcast antenna towers)
and amateur (HAM) radios.
Other types of handheld devices, such as cordless
phones, laptop computers, AM/FM radios, TV sets, CD
players, cassette players, and small appliances, such as
electric shavers and hair dryers, so far as we know,
are not likely to cause EMI problems to your personal
transporter.
Personal Transporter Electromagnetic Interference
(EMI)
Because EM energy rapidly becomes more intense as one moves
closer to the transmitting antenna (source), the EM fields from
handheld radio wave sources (transceivers) are of special concern.
It is possible to unintentionally bring high levels of EM energy very
close to the personal transporter's control system while using
these devices. This can affect personal transporter movement and
braking. Therefore, the warnings listed below are recommended to
prevent possible interference with the control system of the personal
transporter.
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) from sources such as radio and
TV stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, two-way radios, and
cellular phones can affect the personal transporter.
Following the warnings listed below should reduce the chance of
unintended brake release or personal transporter movement which
could result in serious injury.
