Preparing the ExpressVote XL for Use

ExpressVote XL Setup

Confirm the green power indicator light is 

illuminated on the front status panel. This 

indicates the ExpressVote XL is plugged into 

AC power.

Lift the protective screen cover from the 

touch screen. Unlock and open the Access 

Compartment door on top of the terminal. 

Inside the Access Compartment, press and 

release the red power button. Once powered 

on, the power light is illuminated.

Installing Privacy Curtain & 
Adjusting Touch Screen Angle

Remove the curtain assembly from the storage 

tube on the bottom back of the terminal. 

Insert rods into the mounting brackets on 

either side of cart.  Loosen the white plastic 

clamps on the assembly to adjust height, then 

re-tighten.

Connecting Assistive Voting 
Equipment

The Universal Voting Console (“UVC”) allows 

voters to vote without using the touch screen. 

The UVC plugs into the USB port in the Access 

Compartment. Only one unit per polling 

loction will have a UVC.

Headphones connect to the UVC via the 

headphone jack on the bottom right corner. 

Thread the UVC wire carefully through the 

notch in the upper-left corner of the door as 

you close it. Not doing so could cause damage 

to the wire.
