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 (CB’s), amateur radios (ham radios), wireless computer left, 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 scooter
All electrically powered vehicles, including scooters are susceptible to Electromagnetic Interference/Radio Frequency Interference (EMI / RFI). This interference could result in abnormal, unintended movement of your scooter.
WARNING! Unintended movement or brake release can cause an accident or injury.
The FDA has determined that each make, and model of scooter can resist EMI / RFI to a certain level. The higher the lever of resistance, the greater the degree of protection from EMI / RFT – 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 interference. This product has been tested and has passed an immunity level of 20 V/m.
EMI / RFI recommendations

• Do not turn on or use hand-held personal electronic communication devices such as cellular phones, walkie-talkies and CB radios while your scooter is turned on.
• Be aware of any nearby transmitters (radio, television, microwave, etc.) on your intended route and avoid operating your scooter close to any of those transmitters.
• Turn off the power if your scooter 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.

WARNING! Turn off your scooter as soon as it is safely possible if unintended or uncontrollable motion occurs or if unintended park brake release occurs.

Daily Checking

Check the following items before driving. If you find anything abnormal, contact your scooter dealer for a further inspection before using it.

Can they be turned left or right smoothly?
Speed Dial| Can it be adjusted freely and function well?
Throttle Lever| Does the scooter move when the lever is engaged?
Does the scooter stop when the lever is released completely?
Motor| Is there any abnormal noise from the motor?
Does the electromagnetic brake work properly?
Battery Gauge| Does the gauge move to green when switched “ON”? Is the remaining power enough for your trip?
Horn Button| Does the horn work?
Seat| Is the seat on properly?

13.1 Regular Checking Record
To make sure your scooter is in good condition, go to your scooter dealer regularly.
13.2 Tyres
The condition of the tyres depends on how you drive and use your scooter.
Inspecting Tyre Treads
Please check the tread depth regularly. Replace the tyres when the tread depth is less than 0.5 mm.
Check tyre pressure regularly. See 3.0 Specifications for correct psi.
13.4 Unique Identification Number
Your scooter has a unique identification number which is located on your scooter at several different locations, on the rear and front chassis. This unique number will enable your authorized supplier to confirm with One Rehab if necessary, the age of you scooter and when it was purchased.
