How to Unbox and set up your Dell Active Pen PN5122W

Published SEPT 18, 2025

The video demonstrates how to unbox and set up the Dell Active Pen PN5122W. The PPID number on the label behind the box should be noted and used to register the pen at Dell Warranty. The box contains the pen, a battery, replacement nibs, a nib remover, Quick Start Guide, and Warranty, Safety and Regulatory document. To use the pen, install the battery by twisting off the top part of the pen, inserting the battery, and twisting it back on. Dell Peripheral Manager is required to configure the pen buttons and adjust the sensitivity of the pen nib. Hold the pen as you would a normal pen or pencil and avoid pressing the barrel buttons. For more information or assistance, go to Dell Active Pen PN5122W Support.

Update the pen to version A00-00 or later by visiting How to Download and Install Dell Drivers and Firmware. After updating the pen, it will appear in Dell Display and Peripheral Manager and will show settings and future firmware updates.
