Tips
  • Radio reception may not be strong in auditorium 100, so it may be worth checking before the lecture. At a minimum, the cage will still block the static.
  • You will need D batteries located in the wall-mounted cabinet (101) next to the red toolbox.
  • Please remove batteries when finished!
