INFORMATION ON ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE

Electromagnetic interference can affect the electric wheelchair, so reading and understanding this manual is very

important.

This chapter describes the problems caused by the electromagnetic interference, so that users can understand and

take corresponding protective measures to avoid or minimise the risk. Some content deals with accidents in certain

environments or conditions.

ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE FROM RADIO WAVES

An electric wheelchair is susceptible to electromagnetic interference. Electromagnetic energy is usually emitted from

radio, television, radio transmitters, two-way radios and mobile devices. This electromagnetic interference can cause

control problems for, among other things, the brakes. It can also cause permanent damage to the control system, so

a product's ability to withstand electromagnetic interference is particularly important. Flexlife has passed the

resistance of the 20 V/m electromagnetic interference test, so it has high anti-interference and can withstand some

common radiation/electromagnetic interference in everyday life.

Although Flexlife is able to handle disruptions, users should still follow the following rules:

• Once the power supply is connected, do not use radios such as transmitters, receivers, and personal

communication devices such as cell phone, etc.

• Try to avoid getting close to the radio source, such as radio, TV, etc.

• If your Flexlife starts to lose control, the user should turn off the power supply immediately and contact the

manufacturer. Do not replace any part of this electric wheelchair.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

USERS

Before using your Flexlife, keep tools and other metal objects away from the positive or negative of the battery, if

exposed to both ends, it may cause short circuits and electric shock.

• Health and care professionals should have been trained and given professional guidance for use.

• Before using your Flexlife, make sure you have learned how to use it.

• Practice certain tasks with the help of health care professionals, such as swinging, coping with obstacles and

braking until you are independent and skilled in performing these tasks.

• Don't try new difficult situations when you can't ensure safety.

• Make sure you know the area you are going to, and check for danger or not, and master your Flexlife to avoid

any risks.

CO-FOLLOWER

• You need to cooperate with the user and listen to any recommendations of the user's doctor, occupational

therapists or physiotherapists and make a plan that is best suited to the user's ability.

• When running Flexlife with your hands, you must turn off the electromagnetic bridge switch so that the

wheelchair is set to manual mode.

• When running Flexlife with your hands, you need to use the bow in the backrest. This can provide safe driving

and prevents the wheelchair from tipping backwards when you push.

• Check the backrest lock so that it cannot rotate or slide when the user is running over obstacles.

• To prevent damage to the user's back, make sure that the user is in the correct seat balance When lifting or

supporting the user or Flexlife, you can bend the knees a little and hold the back vertically.

• Before each movement, tell the user what you want to do and explain the reason and tell them what you want

them to do at the same time. This allows the user to prepare and reduces the risk of accidental injury.

• To back up a slope or edge, remind the user to lean back.

• Before driving up or down an edge, slow down to avoid damage to you, the user and Flexlife.
