PYRAMID TIMETRAX MOBILE SERIAL QUICK START GUIDE
OPTION 2: PC DOES NOT HAVE an available open Serial 9-pin
(COM) port -or- only equipped with a USB port.
Connect the AC
power supply (Fig. F) to a standard wall power outlet (Fig. G) and to the
TimeTrax terminal (Fig. E). Connect the white RJ45 communication cable
(Fig. D) to the RJ45/DB9 adapter (Fig. B) and then connect the RS232/USB
adapter (Fig. C) to the back of your PC. (Fig. A)
Please restart/reboot your PC before continuing
with the instructions.
CHARGING THE BATTERY
Note: The TimeTrax Battery must be charged for 4 hours before
first time use.
Connect the AC Power to a 115-volt electrical outlet and the other end to
the TimeTrax Mobile charge port. During the charging process, the charge
light displays a constant green. Fully charged, the TimeTrax Mobile battery
life is 50 hours. The Sleep Mode offers battery conservation by automatically
shutting off after 15-minutes of non-use allowing longer periods between
recharges. Pyramid recommends frequent recharging.
When the TimeTrax Mobile is in Sleep Mode and an employee needs to
swipe, the On/Off switch needs to be turned off and then back on to bring
the unit back into ready mode. Sleep Mode does not move the switch to the
OFF position but it shuts down the power as if it did.
If the battery runs low, the TimeTrax display will indicate LOW BATTERY.
If operation of the time recorder continues and the battery continues to
drain, the display will flash CHARGE BATTERY and will shut off after 10
seconds of flashing. However, punches/data will not be lost.
USING THE CAR CHARGER
The Pyramid TimeTrax Mobile offers an Automotive Adapter/Car Charger
(Pyramid Part Number 42180) as an optional accessory to charge your bat-
tery on the go. Simply plug one end of the car charger into the TimeTrax
Mobile charge port and the other end into the car’s 12-volt accessory power
outlet/cigarette lighter for an instant charge. As with a 115-volt electrical
outlet charge, Pyramid recommends frequent recharging.
