EMI (ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE)
WARNING – Read all warnings to reduce the risk of unintended brake release or scooter movement:
- Beware of the danger from hand-held transceivers. Never turn on or use a hand-held transceiver while power to your scooter is on. Use extra care if you believe that such a device may be in use near your scooter.
- Be aware of nearby radio or TV stations and avoid coming close to them.
- If unintended movement occurs, turn your scooter off as soon as it is safe to do so.
WARNING
- A. WHAT IS EMI?
1. EMI means: electromagnetic (EM) interference (I). EMI comes from radio wave sources such as radio transmitters and transceivers. (A “transceiver” is a device that both sends and receives radio wave signals).
2. There are a number of sources of intense EMI in your daily environment. Some of these are obvious and easy to avoid. Others are not, and you may not be able to avoid them.
3. Scooters may be susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI) emitted from sources such as radio stations, TV stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, two-way radios, and cellular phones.
4. EMI can also be produced by conducted sources or electrostatic discharge (ESD).
- B. WHAT EFFECT CAN EMI HAVE?
1. EMI can cause your scooter, without warning, to:
* Release its brakes
* Move by itself
* Move in unintended directions
* If any of these occurs, it could result in severe injury to you or others.
2. EMI can damage the control system of your scooter. This could create a safety hazard, and lead to costly repairs.
- C. SOURCES OF EMI
- The sources of EMI fall into three broad types:
- Hand-held transceivers: The antenna is usually mounted directly on the unit. These include:
- Citizens band (CB) radios
- “Walkie-talkies”
- Security, fire and police radios
- Cellular phones
- Laptop computers with phone or fax
- Other personal communication devices
- Medium-Range Mobile Transceivers: These include two-way radios used in police cars, fire trucks, ambulances and taxi cabs. The antenna isusually mounted on the outside of the vehicle.
- NOTE – These devices can transmit signals while they are on, even if they are not in use.
- Long-Range Transceivers: These include commercial radio and TV broadcast antenna towers and amateur (HAM) radios. NOTE – The following are not likely to cause EMI problems:
- Laptop computers (without phone or fax),
- Cordless phones,
- TV sets or AM/FM radios,
- CD or tape players.
- D. DISTANCE FROM THE SOURCE
- EM energy rapidly becomes more intense as you get closer to the source.
- For this reason, EMI from hand-held devices are of special concern (see C.1 (portable transceiver) from the previous section for more information). A person using one of these devices can bring high levels of EM energy very close to your scooter without you knowing it.
- E. IMMUNITY LEVEL
1. The level of EM is measured in volts per meter (V/m). Every scooter can resist EMI up to a certain level. This is called its “immunity level”.
2. The higher the immunity level, the less the risk of EMI. It is believed that a 20 V/m immunity level will protect the scooter user from the more common sources of radio waves. This product respects that immunity level.
* **NOTE –** There is no way to know the effect on EMI if you add accessories or modify this scooter. Any change to your scooter may increase the risk of EMI. Parts not specifically tested or parts from other suppliers have unknown EMI properties.
- F. REPORT ALL SUSPECTED EMI INCIDENTS
- You should promptly report any unintended movement or brake release. Be sure to indicate whether there was a radio wave source near your scooter at the time.
- Contact: Amylior customer service department at +1 450 424-0288
- G. EMI FROM SCOOTER
- Electromagnetic field emitted by electronics component included in this scooter may interfere with other electronic devices emitting similar field, such as shopping mall alarm systems.

- To use your scooter, the lever must be engaged in the Drive position “D”.
- To move your scooter without using battery power, disengage the lever in the neutral position “N”.
- Once in the “N” position, push the scooter slowly. Pushing too quickly will activate a slowing mechanism and will make it difficult to push.

- Always ensure the brake lever is in the “D” position before inserting the key to use the scooter.
- Never disengage the brake lever while driving.

- BATTERIES
- Battery maintenance is a crucial part of keeping your scooter in good working condition.
- Plug in the off-board charger after each use for 6-8 hours. For best results charge your batteries overnight after a day of use.
- If you do not plan to use the scooter for more than a week, fully charge the batteries and then remove the battery packs from the scooter.
- IMPORTANT: New batteries should be fully charged before use. A 12-hour charge will provide maximum performance.
- TIPS TO MAXIMIZE BATTERY LIFE:
- Use only the automatic off-board charger supplied for all routine charging.
- Do not use any other types of chargers.
- Avoid deep discharges and do not let the batteries drain completely.
- Do not leave batteries in a low state of charge for extended periods.
- Charge a discharged battery as soon as possible.
- Fully recharge batteries regularly.
- Always store batteries fully charged.
- Check stored batteries once a month and recharge as necessary.
BATTERIES
- TO CHARGE THE BATTERIES:
- The charger for your Gs100 scooter is an off-board charger.
- To charge the batteries, plug the charger into the charger port on the side of the console or directly on the battery pack.
- When the batteries are fully charged, disconnect the charger power cord from the wall outlet and the charging port.
- WARNING: Explosive gases may be generated while charging the batteries. Keep the Gs100 and battery charger away from sources of ignition such as flames or sparks. Provide adequate ventilation when charging the batteries.
- NOTE: Your scooter will not move while the charger remains connected.
BATTERY MAINTENANCE:
WARNING
