Deviating from the route (off route)  

10.1

 

     

If you deviate from the route, you will hear audible and tactile instructions to 
go back ('go back') to the point where the planned route was abandoned.

 

The

 

tactile arrow

 

turns

 

3 times to the left quickly

 

and returns slowly

 

.

 

This indication 

does not come immediately if a wrong direction is used to prevent incorrect 
reports.

 

Only when the program is sure, the instruction follows: "go back".

  

10.2

 

      

If you turn around to the last decision point, new instructions will follow to get 

back to the 'straight' path.

 

The program first reports 'continue' as confirmation

 

you

 

are back on the planned route '.

  

10.3

 

      

This off-route support can be complicated by GPS shortcomings or complex 

pedestrian situations.

Instructions for use of the I-

 

Cane

 

Mobilo® in bad weather

  

11.1

 

          

The

 

I-

 

Cane

 

Mobilo®

 

is splash-proof and can therefore also be used in rainy 

weather.

  

11.2

 

          

The

 

I-

 

Cane

 

Mobilo®

 

can

 

not be used under water

 

.

  

11.3

 

          

In case of heavy rainfall, some water may remain in the housing of the

 

tactile 

arrow

 

and the sensor.

 

Allow this to drain by turning the handle.

 

At a later time, 

carefully dry the parts with a clean and dry cloth.

  

11.4

 

          

Also the grip of the handle

 

can become moist.

 

This dries

 

the best in a dry and 

ventilated area.

  

11.5

 

          

In bad weather (rain, fog) in combination with dusk / dark, every pedestrian is 

less visible to the traffic, even when crossing.

 

Take extra time when crossing 

and make sure

 

you

 

are seen well, also through adequate use of the cane.

  

11.6

 

          

Every

 

cane

 

behaves

 

differently

 

in the snow,

 

including the

 

I-

 

Cane

 

Mobilo®

 

.

 

Curbs in particular are less easily noticed and commuting the cane takes more 
effort.

 

Take this into account when planning a route.

  

11.7

 

             

When the wind is strong, the sonar sound of the sensor can blow away, 

making it difficult to detect and display height obstacles.
