Equipment that has an icon posted over it, by definition, requires specialized training. Without completing this training, you are not authorized to utilize the equipment! The training will be offered via a Canvas course for each piece of equipment. If the system is relatively simple, the course might just be basic reading with a simple quiz (like this one).
