You can customize obstacle detection settings either directly on your Smart Cane or through the WeWALK app.
Using the Smart Cane 2
The Obstacle Detection Button is located on the side of the cane handle, between the Calibration Button and the USB-C charging port. When holding the cane upright, it is the upper button on the right side and has a round shape.
- Turn On/Off Obstacle Detection – Press and hold the obstacle detection button to turn the feature on or off.
- Adjust Detection Range – Once obstacle detection is on, press the same button briefly to cycle through detection ranges: Short, Mid, and Far.
Using the WeWALK App
If your WeWALK Smart Cane 2 and WeWALK app are up to date, you can also customize settings via the app:
- Connect your Smart Cane 2 via the Smart Cane tab
- Tap “Device Preferences”
- Go to “Obstacle Detection Preferences”
- Select detection range: Off, Short, Mid, or Far
- Customize feedback options:
- Enable or disable sound feedback
- Enable or disable vibration feedback
- Use both for combined audio and haptic feedback
- Additional options:
- Enable continuous vibration
- Turn on the flashlight when an obstacle is detected
We recommend using the Far setting outdoors to maximize detection range. To find the most suitable setting, stand in front of a flat wall and test each level to determine which works best for your environment and preferences.
