Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Open the Key Fob

First, flip your key fob over and locate the indentation near the key ring. This is where you will insert your flathead screwdriver.

Insert the screwdriver into the slot and twist it gently. This will release the tab on one side. Repeat the process on the other side to fully open the key fob.

Step 2: Remove the Old Battery

Once the key fob is open, you will see the battery. Use your flathead screwdriver to pry the battery out. Insert the screwdriver into the gap between the battery and the plastic wall and gently lift it out.

Step 3: Insert the New Battery

Take your new CR2032 battery and make sure the positive side (marked with a plus sign) is facing up. Slide it into the slot, starting with the bottom part of the battery, and then press it down until it clicks into place.

Step 4: Reassemble the Key Fob

Align the back cover with the top part of the key fob and press down until it clicks back into place. Ensure all tabs are securely fastened.
