Using this stylus needle is easy. Just carefully install it on your compatible record player following the player's instruction manual. When using, make sure the record player is on a stable surface to avoid vibrations that could affect sound quality. For maintenance, clean the stylus gently with a stylus brush after each use to remove dust and debris. Avoid touching the stylus with your fingers as the oils can damage it. Store the record player in a dry and dust - free place when not in use.
