5) The
50 Cane
solves the problem of night
walking for you. The device emits a red ashing
light in dark areas at night, allowing other
people and cars to detect you and avoid
hitting you. This light works automatically when
the device is switched on. When holding
the
50 Cane,
avoid covering the light sensor.
6) At the top of the device are two proximity
sensors. These are used for obstacle detection.
Please ensure that your hand does not touch
or cover these sensors in order to avoid
interfering with the obstacle detection system.

Adjusting 50 Cane Obstacle Detection Range
The first braille key (letter “D”) is used to toggle
between long and short-range detection modes.
Only a single press of the button is required to
switch between these two modes. By default,
the 50 Cane is set for long-range detection.
Every time you switch on the device, it resets to
the default long-range mode.
Long Range:
When set to long-range, the 50 Cane will detect
obstacles up to a distance of 2.8 meters forward,
and a height of 1 meter upwards from the
handle.
(approximately to the top of the average
human’s head).
In the presence of an obstacle in front of you in
long-range mode, you will hear one repeating
beep, and feel a vibration on the handle.
