To start-up perform the following: 
  Ensure the AC Power Adapter is connected to the FPT-40 terminal 
and plugged into an outlet. Press the power 
 button. The FPT-40 
terminal will display the splash screen, perform a diagnostic check, 
and then display the Welcome screen (see figure).

Note:  The time and date can be set with the terminal keypad, or 
downloaded to the terminal from the host PC utilizing the Time 
& Attendance software. The information such as date, time, 
daylight saving time (DST), finger templates, and hours 
worked sent from the Time & Attendance software will have 
precedence over existing similar information. That is to say the 
Time & Attendance software will act as the master. 
  Upon power up, the Green LED indicator will blink once every 
second to signify the terminal is operating properly. The FPT-40 
terminal should now be ready to enroll users. 
  All normal time and attendance functions (validation for punch in/out) 
must be performed from the "Welcome" screen.
