3.2  Removing the Shipping Pin 

The IncuCyte™ ZOOM ships with objectives and filter modules packed in a separate box.  There is 
also  a  shipping  pin  installed  to  lock  the  microscope  in  place.    It  must  be  removed  before  the 
system installation can proceed.

  

Remove the filter module access cover by pushing it down and 

pulling the cover out. The pin will be visible as in  Figure 5 below.  To remove the pin, depress the 
button in the center of the T handle and pull the pin straight up until it is free.  Store the pin with 
the  other  ZOOM  accessories  so  that  it  can  be  reused  if  the  system  needs  to  be  shipped  to 
another location or returned for service.
