This is  from the Maxi Aides catalogue.

Product Description
Features
• Compact, lightweight complement to a cane
•  Detects obstacles up to 9.35 feet away
• Alerts you with an audible  signal or vibration (or both)
• Recommended for familiar areas;  doesn't detect drop-offs and other
possible hazards
• Includes  lanyard and 2 AAA batteries Hi-tech mobility for the blind and
visually  impaired! Ray was designed to provide a handheld, lightweight and
compact  supplement to traditional canes for the
blind.*
It is a small, extremely  sensitive electronic mobility aid that senses
obstacles and alerts the user  by emitting audible or vibrating signals (or
both.) Ray features easy  2-button operation and is so compact that it can
fit in the palm of your  hand.
Using an ultrasonic emission similar to the cone of light of a  flashlight,
Ray can recognize obstacles up to a distance of 9.35 feet (2.85  meters) 
away
and announce them to the user via an audible or vibrating  signal.
* IMPORTANT NOTE: Ray is intended as a complement to traditional  canes for
the blind, not as a replacement. While Ray recognizes obstacles  in your
path, it cannot detect drop-offs such as curbs.
A special Escape  mode enables the user to locate small gaps such as door
entrances or  passageways through a crowd of people (again the user can
choose between  audible or tactile feedback.) Ray is incredibly compact
(4.72” long by 1.1”  wide and only ¾” thick) and ultra lightweight at only
2.1 oz. It fits  easily in your hand when in use, and slides into almost any
pocket for fast  storage. Or wear it around your neck using the included
lanyard so it’s  always at your fingertips when you need it.
Complete Set Includes: Ray,  lanyard, 2 AAA batteries, printed user manual
