Operation Manual

DISCLAIMER
SHOPRIDER® is not responsible for any damage or injury incurred due to
improper or unsafe use of the SHOPRIDER® scooter. Mechanical or
electrical defects will be dealt with on a contingency liability basis. The parts
will be replaced but no responsibility for any damage or injury can be implied
to SHOPRIDER®.
EMI Warning
SHOPRIDER® scooters as with all electric braked 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.
The interference (from radio wave sources) can cause the scooter
to release its brakes, move by itself, or move in unintended directions. (Forward
or Reverse) It can also permanently damage the scooter's control system but this
would likely be at levels exceeding the Australian standard.
The intensity of the interfering EMI energy can be measured in volts per meter
(V/M). Each SHOPRIDER® scooter can resist up to a certain intensity. This is

this time current technology is capable of achieving 20V/M immunity level
which will provide useful protection from the more common sources of radiated
EMI.
The sources of radiated EMI can be broadly classified into three types:
1. Hand-held portable transceivers (transmitters-receivers) with the antenna
mounted directly on the transmitting unit. Examples include: citizens band (CB)

and other personal communication devices.
NOTE! Some cellular telephones and similar devices transmit signals while
they are ON, even when not
being used.
2. Medium-range mobile transceivers, such as those used in police cars, fire
trucks, ambulances, and taxis. These usually have the antenna mounted on the
outside of the vehicle.
3. Long-range transmitters and transceivers, such as commercial broadcast
transmitters (radio and TV broadcast antenna towers) and amateur (HAM)
radios.
NOTE! Other types of hand-held devices, such as cordless phones, laptop
computers, AM/FM radios, TV sets, CD players, and cassette players, and
small appliances, such as electric shavers and hair dryers, so far as we now,
are not likely to cause problems to the scooter.
