prompts on the screen. Make sure there is a proper lightning (no
direct sun). Make sure employee’s eye area follows the green
guiding pane until the enrollment process is complete.

recommend using either Index Finger or a Thumb).

employee’s palm. Make sure employee positions the palm
properly inside the guiding pane with fingers spread apart as in

biometric verification). Press “Card” button and waive
employee’s badge near the RFID sensor which is located right
below fingerscan sensor. Make sure to write employee’s name
on the badge you just scanned, since this badge is now
registered to this employee.

verification). If PIN was not setup on your cloud account, you
can enter or modify it at the clock. Select Pswd on the left side
of the box and enter PIN employee will be using to access the
clock.
Once the enrollment is complete, the time clock will update your
online account with employee’s biometric templates for future
storage. Should you choose to purchase an additional time clock, or
replace your existing unit, these templates will automatically upload
to the new device.
You should be all set! We suggest using either Facial or Palm scan as
primary methods for biometric verification, as these methods are
touch-free, hygienic, and are most accurate. If employee facial
features change as time goes on, you can always re-enroll them to
keep your clock’s accuracy high.
Should you have any questions or need technical assistance, do not
hesitate to contact support at 888-860-2535 (9am to 5pm Eastern
