We repair hand punch clocks - One Day Service.

1. With the barrel key marked 601, release and tip the machine forward. You can probably do this with it still connected to the hinge.  It helps to have a friend there to support it. You don't want it to fall off the wall.

2. Or:  Remove it from the wall, disconnect the network cable, and take the power supply and clock over to a desk to do this.  That's the "best way."  Only if it's convenient, of course.

3. See two items: 
   On left:  The power supply plug.  In the center, a small white button (a microswitch) which is underneath the ribbon cable, and on top of the circuit board.

4. Right hand: Press and hold the “Press and hold” the white button. Left hand: Unplug, then 1 second later, plug it back in.

5. THEN release the white button.  You should hear two beeps.  If you don’t hear two beeps, repeat this.

6. Quickly (you have about 5 seconds), press 9 on the keypad.  It should say RESET ALL, or reset in progress (something like that).   This may take 2 or three tries, but it always works.

7. This resets the machine.  “Cold Boot!”

8. Tip the machine back up and lock to the wall.

The machine has been cleared.  Next:
