Donning the trackers
To don the trackers, first ensure that the D-Ring is through the rectangular plastic loop.
Place your arm through the loop, so that it is placed as close to the wrist as possible.
Pull the strap until it is tight but comfortable, and affix the velcro to secure.
Swing your arm to ensure that the tracker is comfortable and secure.
Repeat for the remaining arm and tracker.
Donning the VRWalk HMD

Twist the knob on the back of the headset counterclockwise to loosen the strap.
Lift the rear headstrap up, place the headset onto your face over your eyes and lower the headstrap. If the headstrap is too loose or too tight, adjust the knob on the rear of the strap.
Alternately, remove the headset and adjust as needed while removed, and then place the headset onto your face over your eyes and lower the headstrap.
Repeat until the headset is comfortably snug and won't slip when you're moving your head around.
