new download occurs within 14 days, the hours worked will not
appear after 14 days.
Note: When this button is pressed, the terminal display will show
Downloading…., followed by Working…., and finish with
Restarting…..The terminal will power off then back on to
refresh with the options just downloaded to it. Simultaneously
the lower portion of the Time Guardian Fingerprint Commands
screen will display the location, terminal # downloaded
date/time, hours worked sent for users X to Y, time format
changes, restarting device, and download operation done (see

Biometric Maps: The terminal must be polled before performing the
following operations. Polling the terminals will save biometric fingerprint
templates for newly enrolled employees, automatically update the
database with templates for employees who have punched at the
terminal, and create terminal assignments for employees that have not
yet been enrolled in the database.
Note: If a newly enrolled employee does not exist in the employee
database, then the template in the terminal will not be saved. If
the template data is inadvertently lost, it must be reassigned to
the terminal through the Assignments tab.
