QUICKIE ATTITUDE
F. REPORT ALL SUSPECTED EMI INCIDENTS
WARNING
You should promptly report any unintended movement or brake
release. Be sure to indicate whether there was a radio wave source
near your bike at the time. Contact:
Sunrise Medical, Customer Service Department at (800) 333-4000
.
G. EMI FROM BIKE
WARNING
The bike itself can disturb the performance of electromagnetic fields
such as emitted by alarm systems of shops.
E. IMMUNITY LEVEL
WARNING
1. The level of EM is measured in volts per meter (V/m). Every
power assist bike 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 power
assist user from the more common sources of radio waves.
3. The common configuration tested and found to be immune to at
least 20 V/m is: Quickie Attitude mounted to a Quickie 2
Product using Lithium Nickel Manganese Cobalt Oxide Batteries.
V.ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE
