Thanks for downloading TimePilot’s Android App from Google Play.
Here's how to set up and use the app for purchasers of Extreme Blue. If you have Extreme Blue Enhanced (with the TimePilot software CD), you will need to follow the directions for that product, available here.
If you have any questions or suggestions, please contact us at Support@TimePilot.com.
Before you start to set up the app, make sure you’ve prepared your Extreme Blue clock for use (see the Quick Start Guide for instructions on battery installation, setting up the padlock, etc.). If you have any questions or suggestions, please contact us at Support@TimePilot.com.
To get started, tap the TimePilot Extreme Blue icon (shown at right). The first time you start the app, the Quick Setup function will run, guiding you through the steps to get up and running. If you need to make a change to one of your settings at a later time, you can find everything you need in the “Settings” menu.
1. When the Quick Setup screen appears, tap the “Next” button to start the process.
2. You’ll be taken to the “General Settings” screen. Enter a name for your phone a name and its phone number.
Tips:
When you're done, tap "Next."
3. You’ll be taken to the “Pay Period Settings” screen.
When you're done, tap "Next."
4. You’ll be taken to the “Overtime Settings” screen.
If you’re not going to use the app for payroll processing—for instance, if you just want to use it as a timer—tap “Next.” Otherwise, tap “Overtime Calculation.” The “By Week” and “By Day” items will appear. Enter your overtime policies.
When you're done, tap "Next."
5. You’ll be taken to the “Time Format Settings” screen.
If you want to round your employees’ clock-ins and clock-outs, tap “Rounding.” A blue checkmark will appear. Enter the amount of time for rounding. Tip: An example: If rounding is set to 15 minutes, anyone clocking in from 7:53 to 8:07 will be considered to have clocked in at 8 o’clock and anyone clocking from 8:08 to 8:23 will be considered to have clocked in at 8:15.
6. Choose your time format: If there is a no blue checkmark next to “24-Hour Format,” your hours will be displayed in AM/PM format (for instance: 9 a.m. or 4 p.m.). If you want to use the 24-hour format—often called “military time”; for example, 4 p.m. would be displayed as 1600—tap “24-Hour Format” to display the blue checkmark.
When you’re done, tap “Next.”
7. Tap "No" when you're asked if you will be connecting this app to TimePilot Central. (Only users of another product—Extreme Blue Enhanced—will do this. Their instructions are here.)
When you're done, tap “Next.”
8. In the final steps, you'll be guided through setting up your first employee and assigning the employee an iButton.
