Powering On G6

How to power on your G6 device.

Powering on G6 initiates the device start-up sequence. The start-up sequence depends on the device’s configuration and occurs any time the device is powered on.

Note:

Blackline Safety recommends powering on G6 in a known clean environment.

  1. Press and hold the center button until the Blackline Safety logo displays.

    G6 connects to Blackline Live and initializes your device, performing a hardware self test of lights, sound, and vibration indicators.

    Note:

    The G6 update complete screen only displays during the power-on sequence if your device has been restarted due to a firmware installation. See firmware updates.

    Note:

    Ensure you allow adequate time for the device to complete the required updates. Initialization may take up to 30 minutes if an O2 device requires an extended amount of time to stabilize its sensor.

    If G6 requires additional time to establish a network connection, the device enters an extended initialization sequence.

  2. If G6 is configured to zero on startup, your device indicates if the operation was successful. If the zero was unsuccessful, use the Compliance menu to manually zero your device. For more information, see Zeroing G6.
  3. When configuration is complete, the device’s pre-configured organization name and Device ID information displays. The Assigned user ID may be displayed, if configured in Blackline Live.

    When the Home screen opens, the detector is operational.

    For more information on the Home screen, see Home screen.
