push downwards in the direction shown in sketch “A”.
Remove the stylus head shell by pulling it forwards and
pushing downwards.
B: Installing the new stylus
Hold the tip of the stylus head shell and insert it by
pressing in the direction illustrated by “B”. Push the
stylus head shell upwards in the direction illustrated by
