Changing Departments

You perform department change punches when you are switching departments. If you work in different departments, for example in the computers and car audio sales departments, you can record when you switch from one department to the other.

Your supervisor will explain when you need to record changing departments and which department ID to use for your different departments.

To change departments:

Press Department Change. The clock reader’s light changes to orange and the following message is displayed:
```
Change Department 
Enter ID
```
Specify your ID, swipe your badge, or scan your proximity badge.
If your WB5500 Series Clock has been setup for fingerprint verification, place your finger on the scanner when prompted. The following message is displayed:
```
Change Department 
Enter Department ID
```
Spcify the ID of the department to which you want to change. Contact your supervisor if you do not know which ID to use.
Press Enter.
When your punch is successful, the WB5500 Series Clock beeps twice, the light beneath the keypad flashes green, and the message Docket changed followed by the current time is displayed.

When your punch is unsuccessful, the WB5500 Series Clock beeps thee times, the light beneath the keypad flashes red, and one of the following messages is displayed:
- Invalid ID
  The clock reader does not recognize your ID or badge. Try punching again using these tips:
  - Ensure that you are specifying your ID correctly.
  - Ensure that you are swiping your badge properly.
  If you receive the same error message, contact your supervisor.
- Invalid Docket
The clock reader does not recognize the Docket ID. Either you specified the wrong number or no docket exists for that number.

You have not changed dockets. Contact your supervisor.
