Step-by-Step Battery Replacement Guide

Step 1: Open the Key Fob

Flip your key fob over to the bottom side. Locate the switch on the key ring part. Hold down the switch while pushing and pulling the part with the logo away from the bottom part. This action will release the back cover of the key fob.

Step 2: Remove the Back Cover

Inside, you’ll find another switch with a picture of a battery. Hold down this switch while pushing and pulling again to remove the back piece of plastic. Set this piece aside for later.

Step 3: Access the Battery Compartment

You’ll see a piece of plastic holding the battery in place. Use a coin or a flathead screwdriver to twist this plastic piece to the open position. The arrow on the plastic piece should align with the open arrow on the key fob.

Step 4: Remove the Old Battery

With the plastic piece in the open position, use your flathead screwdriver to gently pry off the plastic cover. This will reveal the battery. Use the flathead screwdriver again to pry the old battery out of its compartment. Dispose of the old battery properly.

Step 5: Insert the New Battery

Take your new CR2032 battery and ensure the positive side (marked with a plus sign) is facing up. Snap the battery into place. Reattach the plastic cover by aligning the arrow with the open arrow and then twisting it back to the closed position.

Step 6: Reassemble the Key Fob

Take the back piece of plastic you set aside earlier. Ensure the side with the open area aligns with the key ring part. Place it on top of the battery side and slide it up into position until it clicks into place.

Step 7: Final Assembly

Repeat the same process for the front piece of plastic. Ensure the open area aligns with the bottom of the device. Slide it into place and ensure it clicks back together.
