Turn on Audio Help Speaker

Tempo is equipped with a single external speaker for Audio Help. Prior to shipment, we turn off the speaker to preserve battery life. When you receive your Tempo, please turn on the speaker to ensure that Audio Help can be accessed.

Some HP tablets may not use this external speaker. Those tablets will use the built in audio speakers that power up whenever the device is turned on.

When looking at the face of your Tempo unit, the speaker is mounted on the back side of the upper left of the wall bracket.

To turn on the Audio Help Speaker, first turn the mounting bracket so that you can inspect the rear. When looking at the rear of the bracket, the speaker will be at the upper right.

Firmly press and hold the power button (on the right) for 3 seconds to turn on the speaker. After three seconds, release the power button.

You will not hear any confirmation tones after turning on the speaker. If you hear a tone sound when pressing the power button, this indicates that the speaker is powered off and no audio will play. Wait a moment, then press and hold the power button again for 3 seconds.

After turning on the Audio Help Speaker, touch the Help On button on the display to confirm that audio can be heard. You may adjust the volume using the + button (on the left) to increase volume or the - button (second from the left) to decrease volume.

Mounting Bracket Lock

  • Use the code 179 to open the Mounting Bracket Lock.
  • To secure the lock, turn the logo face down and snap it into place on the left of the bracket.
  • When you secure the lock, the logo should hang facing forward.

Connect to Network

Now that the device is powered on, you must connect the Tempo to a network. Tempo must be connected to a network in order to send punches and download clock, employee, and department information.
