 +===== Frequently Asked Questions =====
 +** Q: Does Code 1 have to be "Check In" and Code 2 "Check Out"? ** \\
 +A: For devices with function keys, the code number does not matter. The system uses the Label (Caption) field to determine the T&A type. However, using Code 1 for "Check In" and Code 2 for "Check Out" is recommended for consistency. \\
 +
 +** Q: What does the system refer to - the Caption or the Code number? ** \\
 +A: The system primarily refers to the Caption (Label) field, not the code number. The code number is an identifier, but the Caption determines the T&A function in the log. \\
