Entering Your Starting Balance Handling Your Transactions Before you start using the CheckWriter, you will need to properly set up your account. This makes sure that your CheckWriter is always in agreement with your bank statement. Please read and follow these steps carefully: During the "Setup" of either Account I or II, your Balance (Recon.) is set to $0.00. Keep it as is and press the ( RETURN ; key. Your first transaction must be a deposit. The amount of the deposit should be the same amount as your true current running balance. This current running balance is the amount currently recorded in your checkbook. You are now ready to use your CheckWriter on a regular basis. 5 When you get your bank statement When you start reconciling, some transactions will not have been entered in the CheckWriter, and should be ignored. (These include any deposits, withdrawals or checks made after your previous statement, but before you started using the CheckWriter). Using the CheckWriter, reconcile only the transactions you have entered. The balance shown on your bank statement and your CheckWriter should be the same. If the two balances do not match, you may have made a mistake before you started using the CheckWriter. Common mistakes include forgetting to enter transactions, not reconciling service charges, transposing numbers and mis-calculating. Check your previous transactions and previous balances using the calculator function. You can also make an adjustment by depositing or withdrawing an amount so that the bank statement and your reconciled balance match.
