 One side of the battery has three copper contacts.  Line up the three contacts up with three copper contacts on the Pandora and insert the battery.  Add the battery cover and make sure it's closed completely.

 The stylus fits in a slot in the bottom, near the front and on the right hand side.  It slides in parallel to the battery. Pull on it to slide it out.
 A new Pandora's stylus may be a little bit "firm".  Over time it will become easier to pull out and push back in.
