Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Locate the Slot
First, identify the small slot on the key fob where you can insert a flathead screwdriver. This slot is designed to help you separate the two halves of the key fob.
Step 2: Insert the Screwdriver
Insert the flathead screwdriver into the slot. Twist the screwdriver like a key to create a separation between the two halves of the key fob. Continue twisting until the halves come apart easily.
Step 3: Separate the Halves
Once the key fob begins to separate, you can use your fingers to pull the halves apart completely. Set the parts aside carefully.
Step 4: Remove the Rubber Part
Inside the key fob, you will find a rubber part covering the battery. Remove this rubber part and set it aside.
Step 5: Remove the Old Battery
Using your flathead screwdriver, gently lift the old CR2032 battery out of its compartment. Be careful not to damage any internal components.
Step 6: Insert the New Battery
Take the new CR2032 battery and ensure the positive side is facing down. Insert the battery into the compartment and press it in until it clicks into place.
Step 7: Reassemble the Key Fob
Once the new battery is in place, put the rubber part back over the battery. Then, align the two halves of the key fob and press them together until they click into place.
