Open the battery compartment by turning the cap at the clip counterclockwise.

2. Remove the clip and take off the battery lid. 3. Remove the spent battery and insert a new AAA battery. Make sure that the battery end marked "+" points toward the pen tip and that the other end marked "-" touches the contact spring at the back. 4. Put the battery back on, reattach the clip and screw on the cap. Note: Read the instructions on the safe handling of batteries starting on page 3.
