Page 4: Introduction
Introduction We at Tec-Innovation GmbH are happy that you have chosen our InnoMake product. InnoMake is an intelligent obstacle detection system with which we want to provide greater walking safety and reduce barriers in the interaction with our environment. For the unrestricted and safe use of InnoMake, it is important that you carefully read through this entire user manual and also follow the safety instructions. -

You can have the App user manual and this user manual read aloud with the aid of a reading programme on our website www.tec-innovation.com. If required, we will also send you the App user manual in paper form to your door free of charge. -
Page 7: Getting To Know The Product Components
The above-mentioned product components are shown in connection with each other in the drawing below. The drawing shows a shoe with a narrow midsole, the concealed compartment at the front of the shoe and the underlying profiled sole. An attachment part with the processing unit is shown in front of the shoe. The attachment part contains the two ultrasonic sensors facing forward and away from the shoe for obstacle detection in the walking direction. - Page 8 Shoes with built-in metal tracks If you hold one of the two shoes in your hand, you can feel the compartment for the attachment parts in front, at the front of the shoe. This compartment is integrated in the shoe midsole and results from an integrated metal track and gap above.
- Page 9 Sensors are installed in the two notches on the front side. These two sensors send and receive ultrasonic waves while your InnoMake is switched on. When your InnoMake is in use, the ultrasonic sensors point in your walking direction and detect obstacles in front of you. An LED is integrated in the middle between the ultrasonic sensors.
-
Page 10: Control Elements And Interfaces
An LED is installed on the left next to the push button, which provides you with colour feedback on the battery status when the battery is charging. Of course, InnoMake also provides you with acoustic information on the battery charge level. Refer to section 4.3. Information on application will follow in section 4. -

Page 12: Accessory: Innomake App
You can always have a second (or third, etc.) pair of shoes adapted for the use of InnoMake. To this end, we work alongside our partner Waldviertler Werkstätten GmbH and together with selected orthopaedic shoemakers who can fulfil this wish for you. You can then easily insert the attachment parts from the right and left shoe into another pair and use the same settings adapted for you. -

distance from an object in the walking direction is communicated directly to you by a vibration in the shoe. The vibrational feedback varies in frequency in proportion to the measured object distance, i.e. ▪ the closer the object, the faster the vibrational feedback ▪... -
Page 15: Area Of Application And Environmental Conditions
InnoMake is intended for use by people with impaired vision, especially people with severe visual impairment and blind people who are able to stand and walk independently. Since, on the one hand, you operate the InnoMake product as a user and, on the other hand, you experience the medical benefit of the product, you are a patient and operator at the same time in medical technology language. -
Page 16: Application
There are also application restrictions in case of extreme natural influences, such as e.g. flooding, fire, hail or temperatures above 40°C and below -5°C, as well as hazardous environments, such as e.g. in constructions sites or workshops. The detailed permissible environmental conditions can be found in the technical data in section 7. -
Page 17: Charging The Battery
Information on changing the measurement range can be found in section 4.6. Switching off In order to switch an attachment part off, hold the push button on the back of the attachment part for at least 2 seconds. A descending audio signal indicates when the attachment part is switched off. -

Page 20: Your First Steps
When using the InnoMake App, please follow the instructions in the App user manual because the attachment parts are assigned to “left” and “right” in the App. 4.5. Your first steps If you are using your InnoMake for the first time, familiarise yourself with the InnoMake functions in a known environment first. - Page 21 Since we are all on the move in different and changing environments, you have the possibility of changing the measurement range of your InnoMake for each attachment part separately and adjusting for your use. The distance to objects can be provided as feedback between 0.3 and 1.5 metres or between 0.3 and 4.0 metres.
-
Page 22: Activate Intelligent Mode
4.7. Activate intelligent mode The InnoMake attachment parts are equipped with an intelligent mode that you can activate at any time. When intelligent mode is activated, an attachment part detects when the respective shoe is in a resting position. Should the shoe with the attachment part be in a resting position for 3 seconds, the attachment part will switch to sleep mode and stop providing instant feedback. -
Page 23: After Use
You can activate the LED by pressing the push button on the back of the attachment part. In order to avoid damaging the casing, do not use too much force when pressing the push button. In order to activate or deactivate the LED, press the push button 3 times in quick succession. -
Page 24: Attachment Part Warning Tones
See: Measures in case of environmental influences in section 5.2 • Are the attachment part batteries charged? See: Charging the battery in section 4.2 4.10. Attachment part warning tones Your attachment parts emit certain warning tones in two situations. 1st warning tone: If you do not charge the battery in an attachment part for a long period of time, it can occur that the battery runs empty while in use. -
Page 25: Overview Of Innomake Signals
In this case, we recommend taking the shoes off and allowing the product to cool down before touching the attachment parts. Other safety instructions and measures can be found in section 5. 4.11.

Page 31: Handling
If devices in your home environment cause malfunctions and functional failures, please switch your InnoMake off and on again. Resetting the system should restore the full functionality of your InnoMake in these cases. The switching on and off of InnoMake is described in section 4.1. Listed below are examples of potential influences in the home environment which, among other things, can cause your InnoMake to not measure distances to obstacles. -
Page 32: Cleaning And Disposal
The detailed permissible environmental conditions can be found in the technical data in section 7. Keep your InnoMake and the USB charging cable out of the reach of small children < 3 years. There is a risk of strangulation due to the length of the USB cable of 1 metre. -
