All equipment in indoor open locations may only be set or preset one (1) hour prior the start time of the event, and the equipment must be locked to an inanimate object. For example, laptops must be locked to a table leg using a security cable. If equipment cannot be locked down, then personnel must sit with the equipment to ensure that it is not stolen.
If presetting equipment for an event that begins as soon as the building opens the next morning is required, set the equipment as close to the building close time during the previous night.
