Clocking in and out
To clock in or out, just touch
your iBu on to the appropriate
iBu on probe. You’ll hear a
“beep” and the light in the probe
will fl ash. The metal part of the
iBu on must touch both the
inner fl at surface of the probe as
well as the inner rim of the collar.
If you touch your iBu on to the
probe and nothing happens,
hold the iBu on gently against
the probe and slide the iBu on
slightly to the side, so the iBu on
makes contact with the rim of
the probe.
Collec ng and retrieving data
Here’s an overview of the process you’ll use to collect the me and a endance data from the

USB drive. Then you’ll upload data from the USB drive to the PC running the TimePilot
so ware. Data can be collected from mul ple clocks before returning to the PC and uploading
the data. The data can be also be collected as frequently as desired. Even though your pay
period may be weekly or biweekly, you may collect the data every day, if desired.
