Congratulations on your purchase of a Rango!!
At GoSense we are delighted to have you among our users. You are indeed one of the first owners
of a Rango! Thanks to your valuable user feedback and free software updates available on your
mobile, your Rango will progress in the months and years ahead.
Made in France and assembled by visually impaired people, Rango alerts you of obstacles on your
route by a sound feedback. In order to hear Rango's sound feedback while being alerted to your
surroundings, it is recommended to use extra-auricular earphones, like the Aidrives earphones
of GoSense.
To operate, Rango must be connected to your smartphone. Download the dedicated mobile
application "Rango" on the App Store or the Google Play Store. It is recommended to type "Rango
GoSense" in the search field of the app store to find the application more easily.
If you have an iPhone, you can otherwise click on the following link on your iPhone, to directly
access the application page: http://appstore.com/gosense/rango
If you have an Android phone, you can also click on the following link on your phone, to go directly

Are you tired of banging or flirting with obstacles, whether on the shoulder or hip? Despite your
cane technique and optimal sweeping, do you ever miss obstacles with your white cane? Are you
afraid of bumping with overhead obstacles? Do you want full body protection without too many
feedbacks? You want a light product, easy to use and evolutive? So, Rango is for you!
Today Rango is delivered in a first evolutionary version which is very easy to use. Indeed, we
focused on producing a robust and easy-to-use first version. For this we worked on two important
projects: the first being to offer the user a full detection for protection of the whole body (from
head to toe, shoulder width); and the second project was to make Rango a product easy to use
by all, limiting as much as possible the sound feedbacks. Thus, in its first version, Rango will alert
only immediate obstacles that enter the shortened detection zone to 1.50 meters in front of you.
In testing phases, we realized that the white cane only detects obstacles at ground level and not
those at height. So Rango increases the white cane, detecting anything that is not detected by
your cane and your sweep. Finally, the promise of Rango is to alert the immediate presence of
an obstacle in front of you by a sound feedback, to offer you full security and ensure ease of use.
In practice, as soon as you hear the sound; you stop; you are looking for the obstacle with your
cane; then you go around the obstacle. Rango's goal is to protect your entire body.

Thanks to your valuable user feedback and free software updates available on your mobile, your
Rango will progress in the months and years ahead. The upcoming software updates will indeed
allow Rango to adapt its detection zone to your walking pace but also to offer a 3D sound
feedback for a more precise location of where the obstacle is compared to you. Of course, you
will always be protected from head to toe and shoulder width, but from 0 to 2.50 meters. Thus,
in the more advanced versions of Rango, you will discover what is a fluid path. That is to say, a
journey without your white cane shocking itself with an obstacle or that you do not hit or rub at
these same obstacles.
All these Rango functional upgrades will be offered free of charge. These updates will be made
through your dedicated mobile application "Rango".

Chapter 1: Getting started
Contents of the box
The box must contain the following items. If any of these items are missing or damaged, please
contact your dealer.
1. Rango
2. USB/Micro-USB cable
3. AC/USB charger

Overview
Rango has four thumb-accessible buttons, an LED to light your cane in the evening and a micro
USB charging connector. By manipulating Rango, you will also notice, on the face of the top of
the product, the presence of three ultrasonic sensors (they are not buttons) and on the bottom
of the product, a connector with four contacts present next to the LED, which will serve for a
future charging stand (not delivered with Rango).

Fixation on your cane
Take your Rango in one hand and then open the "U" grip behind your Rango. To open the grip an
outward force of the product must be exerted.
Then place your Rango on the handle of your white cane. Close the grip. If this is difficult,
make sure that the clamping screw is unscrewed as far as possible. If necessary, also think
about sliding Rango down your grip. At closing you will hear a clip or feel a notch click.

Then, so that your Rango is well attached to your cane, remember to tighten the screw grip
with the help of a coin. Check that Rango does not move. If so, Rango is in place.
While on the move, place your thumb on the main button and your index finger on Rango's
side.

First connection of Rango to your phone
•Step 1: Download the Rango app to your phone from the App Store (on iPhone) or the
Google Play Store (on Android).
•Step 2: Activate the Bluetooth of your phone and launch the Rango application.
•Step 3: Switch on Rango by pressing the bottom button (the biggest of the 4).
•Step 4: In the mobile app, press the "Start Pairing" button at the bottom of your screen.
•Step 5: The app tells you that Rango is paired with your phone.
Getting Started with Rango
•Step 1: Put on your headphones.
•Step 2: Connect the headphones to your phone, check that your phone's volume is at
maximum or close to maximum.
•Step 3: Launch the Rango application.
•Step 4: Lock your phone and put it in your pocket.
•Step 5: Turn on Rango.
•Step 6: Test Rango in a secure environment outdoors. Place yourself in front of a wall,
then move forward by sweeping with your cane. As soon as you get close to the wall, you
hear a sound (faster and faster) alerting you of its immediate presence. Step back: the
sound feedback should slow down and stop; the wall is no longer a danger.
