Note - When an Emergency Alert is triggered by the mobile worker, the red indicator light on LonerGPS will
illuminate continuously. The LonerGPS device does not beep or vibrate during this process with the
intention of being a silent alert to monitoring staff.

The LonerGPS device may be tracked in real-time through the Location Scheduler.
Real-time GPS tracking is exceptionally useful when mobilizing an efficient response in a emergency
situation. Tracking a mobile worker in real-time is accomplished through the LonerPortal application or
alternatively from the LonerMobile application for BlackBerry smartphones. Tracking a worker takes
approximately 20 to 30 seconds typically when GPS signals are moderate to good. In weaker signal
conditions, this can take between 60 and 120 seconds.
In environments where the mobile worker’s LonerGPS is not able to compute a location due to weak GPS
signal coverage, having a recent schedule location is crucial to provide needed response in a timely
manner.
LonerPortal provides the tools for real-time and scheduled tracking, which is described in detail within the
LonerPortal User Guide.

LonerGPS has implications to an organization’s safety policy and procedures. LonerGPS is designed as
an aggressive aid to promote the safety of mobile workers and should not be considered a sole-source of
safety monitoring. Due to the critical nature of safety-monitoring, BlackLine recommends than each
mobile worker be additionally equipped with a mobile phone. By coupling a mobile phone with LonerGPS,
a single point of failure does not compromise worker safety (such as battery discharge or damage to a
device).
The LonerGPS safety solution was designed to meet the needs of each stakeholder within a corporation,
including the mobile worker, team leaders, safety monitoring personnel, management, and unions. Each
stakeholder is keenly interested in mobile worker safety, which should be considered organization’s top
priority. Accordingly, it is critical that safety policy and procedures be considered and developed in
relation to the implementation to the LonerGPS safety system.
