OVERVIEW
REALTIME CONNECTED SAFETY
What is G7?
G7 is the rst true work-everywhere, wearable, personal safety monitor. It keeps you
connected – whether it’s a gas leak, a health incident or an intruder.
Your G7 can mass-notify a facility evacuation, account for you on a real-time map, and
deliver instant situational awareness needed to manage the fastest possible response to
make a dierence.
It has your back at all times.
BLACKLINE SAFETY NETWORK
How am I connected?
The Blackline Safety Network is the system used to monitor your safety. It is a
communications system that includes 2G/3G cellular networks, satellite networks,
Blackline Live web portal application, and your personal safety monitoring device.
Each G7 device requires an active service plan in order to connect to the Blackline Safety
Network. Depending on your needs and requirements, there are various service plan
options available such as 24/7 safety monitoring by Blackline’s Safety Operations Center
and 2-way voice communication. Contact your organization’s safety professional for
more information regarding the details of your service plan.

G7 TECHNICAL USER MANUAL || 5
BLACKLINE LIVE™ WEB PORTAL
What is Blackline Live?
G7 utilizes the cloud-hosted Blackline Live web portal to monitor and manage all your
workers and devices.
With Blackline Live’s real-time alerting and live map, you can quickly locate and respond
to a worker in distress. Real-time alerts show the device location on the map with the
type of alert, enabling your team to eciently send the help they need.
Blackline Live also allows you to create and customize conguration proles that
determine how a device or a group of devices operates in the eld. Similarly, alert
proles are set up to determine what contacts should be notied in the event of an
incident and what response protocol monitoring personnel will follow to ensure your
team gets the help it needs.
Blackline Live keeps track of your alert history, reports, calibration and bump tests,
eliminating the need for manual gas and incident logs.
G7 is capable of receiving text messages from Blackline Live, with the option of
receiving voice communications.
Blackline Live allows you to tailor user access depending on employee roles: employee,
supervisor, administrator and monitoring team. This ensures that everyone has access to
exactly what they need when it comes to your devices.

G7 MODELS
What G7 model do I have?
There are two G7 models: G7c and G7x. The dierence is how they connect to the
Blackline Safety Network.
If you are unsure of which G7 model you have, refer to the logo on the front of your G7.
G7c works anywhere with 2G/3G
cellular coverage in over 200 countries
to connect you directly to the Blackline
Safety Network. Depending on your
service plan, your G7c may have
2-way voice capabilities. This direct
relationship allows a constant stream
of communication.
G7x works in conjunction with Blackline’s
G7 Bridge – a portable satellite base station
that keeps you connected in remote
locations outside cellular coverage. G7x
uses 900 MHz radio to communicate to a
G7 Bridge. One Bridge can link up to ve
G7x devices to the Blackline Safety Network
through Iridium satellite or cellular data,
contingent on range or availability.
