Field Test Guide
BEFORE UNBOXING
Call the EXO Project Coordinator at [phone]

Overview
Thank you for participating in the G7 EXO testing program. Your testing period with EXO
will last eight business days and is mostly self-managed. The Project Coordinator will
contact you at the beginning, halfway through, and at the end of your testing period to
conduct surveys and answer questions.
Can I congure G7 EXO?
During your testing period, EXO will be set up with a default conguration prole. You will
not be able to make changes to the conguration prole.
I’m ready to unbox G7 EXO
Unboxing EXO will occur in your testing facility the day before your testing period begins.
The EXO Project Coordinator needs to be a part of the unboxing process. If you have not
contacted them already, call [phone] before doing anything else with
your device.
What do I do with G7 EXO at the end of my testing period?
Once your testing period is nished, EXO must be shipped to your Regional Sales Manager
using the same packaging it arrived in. Use the prepaid shipping label provided in the EXO
box to cover the cost of shipping. See Test Case 02 for further instructions.
TEST PROGRAM OVERVIEW
SAFETY WARNING
This device is still in development. Do not use EXO in hazardous
environments. EXO is not monitored by the Blackline Safety Operation
Center. Always use G7 wearables to ensure your safety.

Test cases
To help you get the most from this experience, we’ve created a series of cases for you to
work through and test. This Field Test Guide will take an hour to complete and should be
done within the rst four days of your testing period.
Notes
Please take your time to go through the steps of each case and record your feedback —
positive or critical — in the notes sections. The EXO Project Coordinator will contact you to
conduct a mid-point survey and a post survey. Your notes will be helpful reminders of your
experiences with EXO.
Questions?
If you have any questions, need help troubleshooting your device or would like to
pass on feedback prior to a survey, please contact the Project Coordinator at
[phone].
