Note: It is strongly advised against connecting the device to both software, TCMS V3 and TimeTec TA, as this may result in a potential risk of the device data may only syncing with one of the software, leading to discrepancies in the TimeTec TA attendance records and causing tardiness for users data.
If some of the screenshots or steps viewed here are different from the ones in the current system, this is due to our continuous effort to improve our system from time to time. Please notify us at info@timeteccloud.com, we will update it as soon as possible.
