III. Reserving Remote Equipment

1. Remote equipment may be reserved by certified users for use outside of the Media Lab given that reservations are made at least 24-hours in advance. The Media Lab Staff have the right to refuse service to student(s) if reservations are not made 24-hours in advance.
2. All reservations are to be made with the assistance of a Media Lab Staff member by signing up in the "Remote" reservation book at least 24-hours in advance in order to prevent scheduling conflicts.
3. Students checking out UHM Media Lab video camera equipment must inspect the equipment together with a Media Lab staff member to verify that the equipment is operational and note on the checkout sheet, any damage that the equipment has already sustained. The students and the staff member will then sign the checkout sheet for mutual agreement of the condition of the camera equipment. Should, for any reason, the students take the camera equipment from the Media Lab checkout area without verifying the operation of the equipment, they will be held wholly responsible for any damage and operational defects to the camera equipment.
4. At least two (2) certified students must be present to check-out, use, and check-in remote equipment borrowed from the Media Lab. The same two users that checked-out the equipment must check-in the equipment. No exceptions.
