Step-by-Step Battery Replacement
Step 1: Locate the Slot
First, locate the small slot on the top of the key fob. This slot is designed to help separate the two halves of the fob.
Step 2: Insert the Screwdriver
Insert a flathead screwdriver into the slot. Twist the screwdriver gently to separate the two halves of the key fob.
Step 3: Access the Battery Housing
Once the key fob is open, you will see the battery housed in a small metal compartment. Be careful not to disturb any other components inside the fob.
Step 4: Remove the Old Battery
Using the flathead screwdriver, gently push on the bottom of the battery housing. The old battery should pop out easily.
Step 5: Insert the New Battery
Take a new CR2032 battery and ensure the positive side is facing up. Insert the battery back into the housing and push it down until it is securely in place.
Step 6: Reassemble the Key Fob
Carefully align the two halves of the key fob and press them together until they click into place. Your key fob should now be functional, and the light should come on, indicating the battery has juice.
