Step-by-Step Battery Replacement Guide

Locate the Slot

The first step is to find the small slot on the side of the key fob. This slot is where you will insert the flathead screwdriver to open the key fob.

Insert the Screwdriver

Hold the key fob firmly and insert the flathead screwdriver into the slot. Twist the screwdriver gently to start opening the key fob. A little twist is all it takes to get started.

Open the Key Fob

Once you have started the opening process, continue twisting the screwdriver down the side of the key fob until it comes apart. You can then use your fingers to pull it apart completely.

Remove the Rubber and Circuit Board

With the key fob open, carefully remove the rubber piece that contains the circuit board. Set it aside to access the battery compartment.

Remove the Old Battery

Using the screwdriver, gently lift the old CR2032 battery from the side. It should come out with very little effort.

Insert the New Battery

Take your new CR2032 battery and ensure the positive side is facing down. Click it into place inside the battery compartment.

Reassemble the Key Fob

Carefully place the rubber piece with the circuit board back into the key fob. Line up the two halves of the key fob and click them back together.

Final Checks

After reassembling the key fob, check to ensure everything is properly aligned and secure. Your key fob should now be functioning correctly with the new battery.

Additional Tips

• Handle the circuit board carefully
• Ensure the battery is properly oriented
• Use minimal force when opening the key fob
• Dispose of the old battery responsibly
