5.0 USING THE HN3000
Now that you have set up your time clock menus, you are 
ready to use your HN3000 time clock.
5.1 Understanding Time Cards
The front of the time card (orange side) is numbered 1–15, 
indicating the rst 15 days of the month, and the back 
of the card (brown side) is numbered 16–31. The row on 
which your punch appears will depend on your pay period 
settings. 
Example 1: If you have set up monthly pay periods 
and have selected 1 as the rst day of the pay period, 
row 1 will show punches for the 1st day of the month, 
row 2 will show punches for the 2nd day of the 
month, and so on.
Example 2: If you have set up weekly pay periods 
and have selected Sunday as the rst day of the pay 
period, row 1 will show punches for Sunday, row 2 
will show punches for Monday, and so on. If you use 
weekly pay periods, you may use the reverse (brown) 
side for the following pay period; row 16 will reect 
the rst day of the next pay period.
Example 3: If you have set up bi-weekly pay periods, 
row 1 will show punches for the rst day of the pay 
period. If you use bi-weekly pay periods, you may use 
the reverse (brown) side for the following pay period; 
row 16 will reect the rst day of the next pay period.
Example 4: If you have set up semi-monthly pay 
periods, row 1 will show punches for the rst day 
of the pay period. If you use semi-monthly pay 
periods, you may use the reverse (brown) side for the 
following pay period; row 16 will reect the rst day 
of the next pay period.
