To remove the pen stylus, pull it straight out to the right.
To place the pen back in the pen holder, align the projection on
the pen with the groove in the pen holder and then gently
slide the pen into the holder. Make sure that you push the
pen all of the way in until it locks in place, so that it will not
fall out unexpectedly.
