1. Log into Coral before entering the lab; log out of Coral when leaving the lab. (This can be most conveniently done at the Coral terminals just outside the gowning room entrance.) Coral is used to track labmembers' use of the lab, whether or not equipment is enabled and charges are accrued. Most importantly, it keeps track of who is in the lab, which is critical in the case of an evacuation or other emergency.

2. Do not enable/disable equipment remotely on Coral. Unless you are absolutely sure of the state of the equipment, enabling or disabling may damage the tool or, even worse, lead to an unsafe situation.

3. Follow guidelines for enabling/disabling equipment and making reservations. If everyone uses Coral in a conscientious manner, we can minimize communication problems.
