The following general information applies to all time clock and biometric scanner models:
- The time clock surfaces, touch screen, display, and keypad areas should be cleaned periodically with a glass cleaner applied to a soft, lint-free cloth.
- Biometric scanners should be cleaned periodically with diluted dishwashing liquid applied to a soft, lint-free cloth.
- The badge swipe channel on time clocks with integrated bar code badge readers should be cleaned periodically by folding a paper towel sprayed lightly with glass cleaner over a badge and swiping the badge several times.
- Hand sanitizer gel and/or alcohol-based cleaning wipes may be applied to employee hands prior to and/or after using the time clock or biometric scanner, provided hands are dry prior to touching the time clock or scanner.
- CDC guidelines on hygiene for all employees in the workplace are available at: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/community/guidance-business-response.html.
*IMPORTANT* Please adhere to the following guidelines to avoid damaging your time clocks and biometric scanners.
- Do not apply sanitizing gels or wipes directly to the time clock or scanners, as they may cause damage and potentially render the time clock and scanner unusable.
- Do not use alcohol-based cleaning products or solvents such as benzene or acetone to clean Kronos time clocks or biometric scanners as they may cause damage and potentially render the time clock and scanner unusable.
- Cleaning solutions/liquids should never be sprayed/applied directly on time clock surfaces, touch screens, or biometric scanners. They should be applied first to a soft, lint-free cloth.
- Do not use steel wool or any other abrasives, use a soft, lint-free cloth.
