Product Description
The BuzzClip 2nd Generation Mobility Guide is a wonderfully small and helpful tool for assisting those who are Blind or have very low vision and utilize a mobility (Blind) cane or a guide dog. Its hinged clip easily clips to the user's clothing and vibrates with increasing intensity as an object appears within detection range of the BuzzClip.The angle of detection is a conical shape from the center of the sensor (mesh within circular ring). This new 2nd Generation BuzzClip now has three ranges of detection: a 1-meter mode (3.29 feet), a 2-meter (6.6 feet) mode and a 3-meter (9.85 feet) mode. and it can be used either indoors or outdoors. Within its 6 foot horizontal range, it can detect objects within 3 feet (1.5 meter) vertically from the BuzzClip, generally covering from the waist to the head, when the Buzzclip is clipped to a shirt lapel.
It will stop vibrating after 5-7 seconds of no movement, allowing the user to stand and talk to friends without vibrations. This is a perfect traveling companion for getting around town or even around a friend's or even your own house.
Now one can even hold the BuzzClip - 2nd Generation in your hand, much as you would a flashlight. Simply flip up the mesh grilled proximity sensor a little past the 90-degree angle and point it in the direction of travel. This technique is best used while the BuzzClip is set to the 3 meter mode.
The included rechargeable battery lasts approximately 10 hours on a charge. Recharge the BuzzClip with the included charger attached to the micro-usb port on the main body of the BuzzClip. A full charging of the BuzzClip should take less than one hour.
