4.1 Introduction

This section is designed to help you feel comfortable with how the Time Q
works. It is important to understand that the Time Q has a re-initialize
function that will clear all punches and return the program variables to
their original factory settings. With this in mind, you should feel free to
experiment with the supervisor's menu map. Try printing some reports,
setting variables, setting the time and date, or playing with any feature or
function that arouses your curiosity. For step-by-step instructions, please
consult sections 6, Functions, and 7, Reports.

return to a previous menu, press the clear key. These visual clues are
consistent throughout the menu, which means that “setting the time,” for

functions are more involved because more choices are required, but
accessing the flashing options by the menu keys and selecting them by
using the enter key will be the same throughout the menu structure.
Detailed menu maps are included in section 3, Programming.
