I I I . E M I / R F I Laboratory tests performed by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have shown that radio waves can cause unintended motion of powered wheelchairs. Radio waves are a form of electromagnetic energy (EM). When this energy adversely affects the operation of an electronic device, it is called Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) or Radio Frequency Interference (RFI). WARNING! Radio waves may interfere with the control of powered wheelchairs.
I I I . E M I / R F I Are all powered wheelchairs susceptible to EMI/RFI? Each make and model of chair differs in its ability to resist electromagnetic interference. That is, each has a particular level of immunity to interference, measured in volts per meter (V/m). A higher immunity level offers greater protection. In other words, a powered wheelchair with a high immunity level is less likely to be affected by a strong radio source than one with a low immunity level.
I V. THE JAZZY 1100 THE JAZZY 1100 The Jazzy 1100 has two main assemblies: the seat and the power base. See figures 3 and 3a.

I X . BAT T E R I E S A N D C H A RG I N G BATTERIES Your Jazzy 1100 uses two long-lasting, 12-volt, deep-cycle batteries. These batteries are sealed and maintenance free. Since they are sealed, there is no need to check the electrolyte (fluid) level. Deep-cycle batteries are designed to handle a longer and deeper discharge. Though they are similar in appearance to automotive batteries, they are not interchangeable.
I X . BAT T E R I E S A N D C H A RG I N G IV. The Jazzy 1100. 3. Lift off the rear cover. 4. Extend the charger power cord and plug it into the wall outlet. The Jazzy 1100 incorporates an inhibit function that disables the powered wheelchair when the charger is plugged into a wall outlet. 5. The ammeter indicates how much charge is needed to fully charge the batteries. Wait about a minute for the charger to warm up. The ammeter may move as high as 5.
IX. BATTERIES AND CHARGING BATTERIES AND CHARGINGFREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQS) How does the charger work? The battery charger takes the standard wall outlet voltage of 120 VAC (alternating current) and converts it to 24 VDC (direct current). The Jazzy 1100 batteries use direct current to run your powered wheelchair. When the battery voltage is low, the charger works harder to charge the battery. This is why the charging ammeter initially reads 5 or more amps.
I X . BAT T E R I E S A N D C H A RG I N G What type of battery should I use? We recommend deep-cycle batteries that are sealed and maintenance free. Both AGM and Gel-Cell are deep-cycle batteries that are similar in performance.
IX. BATTERIES AND CHARGING How can I ensure maximum battery life? A fully charged deep-cycle battery provides reliable performance and extended battery life. Keep your Jazzys batteries fully charged whenever possible. Batteries that are regularly and deeply discharged, infrequently charged, or stored without a full charge may be permanently damaged, causing unreliable Jazzy operation and limited battery life.
X. CARE AND MAINTENANCE ROUTINE MAINTENANCE Your Jazzy is a sophisticated powered wheelchair. Like any motorized vehicle, it requires routine maintenance checks. You can perform some of these checks, but others require assistance from an authorized Pride provider. Preventive maintenance is very important. If you follow the maintenance checks in this section as scheduled, you can help ensure that your Jazzy gives you years of trouble-free operation.
X. CARE AND MAINTENANCE WARNING! Make sure your tires are inflated to 30-35 psi. Do not underinflate or overinflate your tires. Low pressure may result in loss of control, and overinflated tires may burst. Serious personal injury may result. WARNING! Overinflating tires can cause them to explode and can result in personal injury. WARNING! Do not use a high pressure hose to inflate your tires. n Use a rubber conditioner on the tire sidewalls to help preserve them.
X. CARE AND MAINTENANCE To check the brakes: 1. Turn on the controller and turn down the speed and response adjustment knob. 2. After one second, check the battery gauge. Make sure that it remains on. 3. Slowly push the joystick forward until you hear the electric brakes click. Immediately release the joystick.
