[Notes on using the system]

---

• Before entering the calibration room, please wear a lab coat and hat, and change shoes in the front room.
  
• Please note that mobile phones do not use in the room because their signals are very weak in the room.
  
• Please note the closing time of the optical calibration room and the research building of NIPR:
  Optical calibration room: 20:00 JST - 08:00 JST (automatic locking)
  Research building of NIPR: 18:30 JST - 08:30 JST (locked)
  
• For renting a card key to enter the optical calibration room,
  please contact the person in charge of the calibration room.
  Please be sure to manage and return the card key thoroughly.
