Insert the scanner key and turn it to the 

OPEN/CLOSE POLL 

position. 

It will take approximately two minutes for the scanner to load the 
election definition from the card into its operating system. The scanner 
will display 

“S-MODE” 

in the upper left corner of the LCD screen and 

the message 

“ELECTION CARD INSERTED, OPEN POLLS 

NOW?” 

DO NOT PRESS YES TO OPEN THE POLLS AT THIS 

TIME. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Review the Initial State Report for accuracy. The scanner automatically 
prints this report after it completes system initialization. Ensure the date 
and time are set correctly (this is the current date and time). Ensure the 
election information is correct (jurisdiction name, polling place, number 
of precincts, etc.)
