Maintenance
To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your ANVIZ CX3 Time Clock, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Regularly wipe the device's screen and fingerprint scanner with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Environment: Operate the device in a clean, dry indoor environment. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, or high humidity.
- Firmware Updates: Check the official ANVIZ website periodically for any available firmware updates. Follow instructions carefully for any update procedures.
- Data Backup: Regularly export attendance data to a USB drive to maintain backups of important records.
Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues and limitations of the ANVIZ CX3 Time Clock.
- Records Cannot Be Modified: Please note that attendance records cannot be modified directly on the device. All data adjustments must be made after exporting to a computer spreadsheet.
- No Internet Connection: The device does not connect to the internet. All data transfer is performed via USB drive.
- Flexible Schedule Not Supported: The CX3 operates based on predefined work schedules and does not support highly flexible or dynamic scheduling changes directly on the device.
- Incorrect Time Format (AM/PM): If the time format displays AM hours for nighttime, verify the device's time settings. If the issue persists and the device does not allow PM changes, contact customer support for assistance.
- Fingerprint Scan Issues: Ensure fingers are clean and dry when scanning. If enrollment requires multiple finger scans (e.g., all five fingers), follow the on-screen instructions precisely to complete the registration process.
- Data Export Failure: Ensure the USB drive is properly formatted (FAT32 is generally recommended) and has sufficient storage space. Try a different USB drive if issues persist.
