4.6 EMC - Radio transmitting devices.

WARNING!
When operating two-way radio, walkie-talkies, C.B.,
amateur radio, public mobile radio and other powerful
transmitting devices the wheelchair should be brought to a
halt and turned off.
The operation of cordless, mobile telephones and cell
phones including hands-free devices is permitted but if
abnormal operation of the wheelchair is encountered then
the wheelchair must be brought immediately to a halt and
turned off.
NOTE: the electrical systems of the wheelchair may
disturb the performance of alarm systems in retail shops.

4.7 Emergency braking

There are three ways to stop your wheelchair :
1. Simplest and safest way to stop the wheelchair is to
release the joystick (see Hand Control section 7). This will
bring the wheelchair to a halt in a controlled manner.
2. Pulling back the joystick will brake the wheelchair abruptly
with a fast stop
3. Switching the control system off whilst the wheelchair is
in motion will also bring the wheelchair to a halt.
WARNING!
• Switching the control system off is only to be used in
an emergency situation as the stopping action is very
abrupt.
• Sunrise Medical recommend the use of a lap strap at
all times.

4.8 Sharp turns

DANGER!
Full speed turns should not be attempted. If you need to
turn sharply you must reduce your speed with the joystick
or speed setting. This is particularly important when
travelling across or down a slope. Disregarding this advice
could lead to your wheelchair tipping over.
