Unpacking the System Components
1. Unpack the ZOE Cell Imager carefully. Remove all packaging materials and store them for
future use. Examine the instrument carefully for any damage incurred during transit. Ensure
that all parts of the instrument listed above are included with the product. If any item is
missing or damaged, contact your local Bio-Rad office.
2. Place the imager in an upright position on a dry, level surface.
3. Thanks to its light shield, the ZOE Cell Imager can be used in ambient light; dark room
operation is not required. However, it is not designed to be operated in direct sunlight.
4. Insert the supplied power cord into the instrument with its flat side facing down and without
blocking the locking jacket.
Note: To remove, pull the locking jacket to unlock the cable. Pulling the cable without unlocking
this mechanism can result in instrument breakage.
5. Plug the power cord into the appropriate electrical outlet and the instrument will power on.
The loading screen displays. After the loading sequence is completed the Position mode will
appear onscreen.
Note: Turning the unit off by pressing the Power off button results in only partial shutoff. For
complete power off remove power cord from electrical outlet.
