Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Remove the Internal Key
Flip the key fob over and locate the latch on the back. Hold down the latch and remove the internal key. This will reveal a slot at the bottom right side of the fob.
Step 2: Open the Key Fob
Insert a small flathead screwdriver into the slot. Twist the screwdriver to open the key fob. Continue twisting and working your way down until the fob opens easily.
If your flathead screwdriver is too big, consider using a precision screwdriver set. These sets are affordable and come with various sizes of flathead and Phillips head screwdrivers.
Step 3: Remove the Old Battery
Gently pry the old battery out using the flathead screwdriver. Dispose of the old battery properly.
Step 4: Insert the New Battery
Take the new CR2032 battery. Ensure the positive side, marked with a plus sign and text, faces down. Push the battery into place until it sits flat and secure.
Step 5: Reassemble the Key Fob
Click the two pieces of the key fob back together. Squeeze them to ensure they are securely connected. Insert the internal key back into its slot.
