There are two key alerts types that the mobile worker is responsible for and must be trained on:
•
No-motion Alert
•
Emergency Alet

The purpose of the No-motion Alert is to quickly notify safety-monitoring personnel that a mobile worker is
no longer moving. The goal is to quickly confirm the situation and if unable to reach the mobile worker, to
quickly provide emergency assistance.
The No-motion Alert works by monitoring the motion of LonerGPS with the assumption that the device is
being carried by / is attached to the mobile worker. The LonerGPS device monitors worker activity for two
minutes (the default factory-configurable setting). If no motion has been measured within this timer of
two minutes, the No-motion Alert is triggered.

Note - Depending on a mobile worker’s duties, a custom No-Motion Timer period may be factory-
configured into a LonerGPS device. The duration of the No-Motion Timer should be chosen with care,
understanding the level of activity and desired responsiveness. A longer No-motion Timer reduces
responsiveness and can be more susceptible to detecting false motion.
In order to significantly reduce the number of false alerts, the No-motion alert has two phases, triggered
initially by the lack of worker motion within the No-motion Timer:
1.
Pending No-Motion alert beeping and vibration (optional hardware feature)
2.
Alert communicted to LonerPortal
The first phase, the pending No-motion Alert, tells the mobile worker that a No-motion Alert will be sent in
30 seconds unless cancelled. The pending No-motion Alert is annunciated by a beeping (and optionally
vibrating) once per second, coupled with a flash of the red indicator light. In the last second of the 30-
second count-down, the beep and vibration will annunciate continuously for one second, announcing that
the alert has been sent.
If the user does not cancel the pending No-motion Alert during the 30-second count-down, the red
indicator light will change to a continous illumination and the beeping and vibration will stop.

Emergency Alert
The Emergency Alert provides a mobile worker and instant notification to monitoring staff of an event that
has the potential to cause them harm. Unlike the No-motion Alert, this alert is triggered instantly and
notifies monitoring personnel without delay and does not offer the ability for the worker to cancel the alert
before it is transmitted to monitoring personnel.
To trigger an emergency alert to safety-monitoring staff, the mobile worker presses and holds the
emergency key. Once triggered, the emergency indicator light (red) will illuminate continuously. The alert
is communicated to LonerPortal that then notifies safety monitoring personnel.
The mobile worker is able to cancel the Emergency Alert at the LonerGPS device, however this does not
cancel the alert at LonerPortal, providing a burden on the monitoring personnel to investigate the
