Hi Sean,
I have been confined to an electric wheelchair all my life and for the last
20 years plus I have carried a mobile phone on the chair approximate two
feet away from the controller. In all of the time I have never had any
difficulties with the controller due to the phone.
Although, I can not say that it will not ever happen, I can only say that up
to yet it hasn't.
Hope this reassures you
Regards
Peter
