EMI Warning
Shoprider scooters may be susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI), which is a kind
of interfering electromagnetic energy (EM) emitted from sources such as radio stations, TV
stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, two-way radio, and cellular phones. Do not
operate hand held transceivers (transmitters-receivers), such as citizens band (CB) radios, or
turn on personal communication devices, such as cellular phones, while the scooter is turned
on. Be aware of nearby transmitters, such as radio or TV stations and try to avoid getting
close to them. Adding accessories or components or modifying the scooter may make it more
susceptible to EMI.
