Note

CHARGING: Please use a 5V USB DC (Direct Current) charging adapter. Do not use another charging voltage. The voltage of the charger device is generally written on a flat surface of the (AC to DC) adaptor. The Device is designed to protect itself from wrong voltage applications and cut or prevent the charging.   However, a wrong voltage application might threaten the battery safety of the device and cause some safety problems.   Please use a compliant charger in your country’s regulation.

Handling of the Device #

WeWALK is inspired by the regular white cane form. So please keep using your original cane handling and control techniques. We don’t recommend any orientation and mobility techniques in this chapter. The points under this chapter are only suggestions for best usage.

For the best obstacle detection feedback, keep your cane’s front (bump area) looking to the front. You can rotate the device in your palm for better handling. When you rotate the front of your cane in any other direction, you’ll change the field of view of the sensor. So you may not be notified about the obstacles in front of you, but on your right/left side.

Using of the Device #

Folding the Cane #

Your device will come with an attached, flexible lanyard and with an adjustable buckle. You can detach the lanyard according to your preference.

As with the regular cane technique, we do not recommend using the device to walk with the wrist strap (lanyard) around your wrist. If the cane suddenly collides with an obstacle, this may exert excess force on your wrist.

1. Thread the thin loop of string through the wrist strap attachment hole.
2. After the loop is fully threaded, open it and pass the strap handle through the loop. Pull the remainder of the strap handle upwards to secure the wrist strap to the unit.
3. You can fold the cane and use the lanyard and adjustable buckle of your device to bind them together. Be careful when folding/unfolding the cane because of the tension in the elastic cord.

Obstacle Detection #

The device will only see the objects which are in the field of view of the sensor. For example:

• When you use your cane in a tilted position around 45 degrees, the area is your front head (over the chest) area.
• When you hold the Cane vertically, the area is your front abdomen or chest area.
• When you rotate the Cane in your hand to the left or right, the area is your right or left side, around your abdomen.

Please get yourself trained for a while, and train yourself for;

• The feedback style of the device
• How and how much rely on the feedback and evaluate the feedback
• Controlling the field of view by rotating and tilting the device with different obstacles.

Warning

Please test the reliability of the obstacle detection system and do not rely solely on this functionality, even if it meets your expectations. Because of environmental conditions, the performance of obstacle detection may vary. Please develop a usage style to process feedback from the obstacle detection. You might not receive feedback for certain objects, such as spaced fences or objects with large gaps. Therefore, the absence of feedback does not always indicate a free passage. Granular materials may absorb sound energy from the sensor due to surface variations and/or their angle of repose. The sensor is designed to detect obstacles located farther than 20 cm. Obstacles closer than 20 cm may not trigger any feedback. WeWALK cannot be held responsible for accidents resulting from this limitation. Additionally, due to the sensor’s operating principle, obstacle detection performance may be affected in rainy conditions. While the device is IP44 certified, prolonged exposure to liquids can impact its functionality. Protective materials may take up to 48 hours to recover fully. If you suspect significant liquid exposure and are dissatisfied with obstacle detection performance, please wait 48 hours. If the issue persists, contact us at [email protected]. It is recommended to use your WeWALK smart cane with the cane tip provided to ensure a better obstacle detection experience.

It is not possible for WeWALK’s obstacle detection sensor to detect drops at ground level such as stairs, curbs, and holes. It is therefore important to maintain good traditional cane skills when using WeWALK to locate drops. WeWALK may not detect soft fabrics or small obstacles at the limit of the range setting.

Illumination, Sound Adjustments, and Other #

Please refer to the Get Know Your Device section. These functionalities are linked to the button press mentioned in the section.

Smart Features #

Smart Features can be obtained by using the Device with the Application, as defined in Set Up Your Device section. In this section, we’ll describe the two interaction method designed to use Smart Features including, turn-by-turn navigation, Nearby Places, Public Transport and Saving Locations.

These smart features are not the part of the Device, but a part of the Application. So Please refer to the Application and available sources in the application to learn up-to-date information. This chapter might give you an initial idea.

Voice Menu #
