Initiate Battery Forming

Before You Begin: By default, Dayforce Touch Clocks aren’t shipped with a battery. However, batteries are available as an optional add-on.

Battery forming is required when you install a new battery on the clock to help prolong the battery’s life cycle.

To initiate the battery forming process:

1. Go to the Administrator Mode screen.
2. Type the administrator mode PIN.
3. Tap Initiate Battery Forming.

The clock’s battery forming functionality behaves as follows:

• If battery forming isn’t already in progress, tapping the Initiate Battery Forming button starts the battery forming process and the clock shows the following message: “Battery forming has been started”.
• If you tap the Initiate Battery Forming button when battery forming is already in progress, the clock doesn’t initiate another forming process and shows the following message: “Battery forming is already in progress”.
• If the battery forming process has already been initiated and is still active, the Clock Information screen shows “Forming In Progress” in the Battery Status section.
• If the clock is using older hardware that doesn’t support battery forming, or if there is no battery installed on the clock, the Initiate Battery Forming button is disabled.
