How do I adjust the brightness of the display on the Infinity Panel?

After the panel has been activated for a voter, the voter must press the buttoned labeled "Voter Controls" to adjust voter options, including "brightness." After each voter has finished voting and pressed "Cast Vote," the brightness will returned to its default level.

What happens if there is a temporary power failure on Election Day?

  • If a power failure occurs while a voter is voting: when the power returns, the Panel will resume operation within several seconds. A siren will sound to alert the poll workers that a power failure has occurred during voting. A poll worker will have to reset the Panel for the voter and allow them to begin the voting process again. Since the voter was unable to cast their vote due to the power failure, their previous attempt would not have been recorded. Votes cast by voters will remain intact.
  • If a power failure occurs while no one is voting: the Panel will resume normal operation after the power returns. Votes cast by voters will remain intact.

What if the printer is not printing results?

If the printer is plugged into the Panel and the printer is off-line, the Panel will sound an alarm when a poll worker attempts to print a tape. Ensure that the printer is on-line by observing the light next to the on-line button. If necessary, turn on the printer by switching the power switch on the side. A solid green light on the printer indicates that the printer is powered up and ready to print. If there is only a flashing light, then the power switch is most likely not set to the "on" position. If a yellow or orange light is on, then the printer battery could be low, or the on-line button needs to be pressed. It's always better to make sure the printer is plugged into a live power outlet in addition to the Voting Panel.
NOTE: On the power switch, means "on" and means "off."
