Powered Chair Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) Because EM energy rapidly becomes more intense the closer one moves to the transmitting antenna (source), the EM fields from hand-held radio sources (transceivers) are of special concern. It is possible to unintentionally bring high levels of EM energy very close to the Powerchair’s control system while using these devices.
