Battery life for the phones can be between 5-6 hours, however it is recommended to only use them for 3 hours at a time and let them charge and cool off before continuing
Battery life for the teacher tablet will last more than a school day, however it is recommended that when it is not being used, it be placed inside the TechTub for security
Glasses can be worn underneath the headset, although some children find that they do not need to wear them when using the headset
The headsets are made using a collapsible silicon material; make sure to pull them out all of the way when removing them from their case and collapsing them fully to store them again
Several of the VR kits feature USB C cables for charging for the phones - these cables are reversible so they will insert either way
The other VR kits and all teacher tablets feature a USB Micro B cable for charging - it is not reversible so careful attention is needed to make sure that it is inserted correctly
