Setting the Time & Date (CloudLite)
Setting the Time/Date
If you are a Cloud Pro subscriber, the time & date settings for your device are managed in the Cloud server. Click here for instructions.
If you have signed with our CloudLite Service the time and date are configured at the device. Some devices have different menu options. If the steps below do not reflect your device, scroll down to view the second steps of instructions (B).

2. Select Date/Time .
3. Set the date and time, using the keypad and arrows.

When setting the time in date, keep in mind that the device are configured for 24-hour format/military time. Please review the chart below if you are unsure what 12-hour format is when converted to 24-hour format.
Keep in mind that changes to time/timezone will not retroactively effect existing punches.
If the time/timezone is changed in the middle of a work day/shift, it is advised to check all timecards and adjust manually to account for the change.
Alternatively, no manual adjustments are required if all the employees are clocked-out for the day/shift and only then the time switch is carried out. In such a case the next shift/day punches will be automatically adjusted to the changed time/timezone.
Ex: The clock reflects 8:00 AM and an employee punches in. Shortly after, the time/timezone is moved to an hour ahead. The employees timecard will need to be manually adjusted to reflect 9:00 AM for that existing punch, otherwise the shift will be one hour longer in the timecard report.
All punches after the change is made, will reflect the new time/timezone.
