To install an implant, right-click on the implant and choose Plug In; the implant will take effect immediately. If you remove the implant, it is destroyed. You will not be harmed in the process, though it will sting a little.  This is done by going to your Character Sheet, selecting Augmentations, right-clicking the implant in question, and selecting Unplug.

==Keeping your Implants safe==
Upgrading a set of implants can be an expensive decision because it destroys the old set. Instead, you could buy a [[Jump Clones|jump clone]], jump to it and install the new set of implants there. Each jump clone has its own set of implants. Only the implants installed in the clone you are currently occupying will have an effect. That way, the old implants are preserved as a backup when your pod is destroyed during PvP.

You regularly have to wait 24 hours to use another jump clone once you did. It should also be noted that jumping to a clone installed in the same citadel as your active clone will not effect the 24 hour cooldown timer, which may serve extremely useful when participating in a fleet, as staging systems - such as Stacmon - tend to have friendly citadels, in which a clean clone may be installed. However, you may consider jumping into a clone in the same citadel if you know that you face PvP during your next activities - and jump back afterwards.

Some clever things can be done when combining the specialization that implants allows on each clone and the ability to change between these clones - and potentially teleport across many systems or constellations - that jump clones enable. To be more precise, various jump clones with different sets of implants to fit different situations and amounts of risk involved can be swapped between depending on what you want to do that day. A lot of the high end implants are pretty expensive, it isn't unusual to see someone with implants vastly more expensive than their ship. For example, a training clone would have very expensive attribute enhancers, and almost never undock. As such, training skills during offline hours would be best suited to this clone. A low-sec PvP-dedicated clone should have skill hardwirings that enhance their PvP efficacy, and should furthermore be installed in a station in - or bordering - low-sec regions.
