Step-by-Step Instructions
Remove the Screw
Start by locating the small screw on the back of the key fob. Use your precision screwdriver to remove it. Set the screw aside in a safe place to avoid losing it.
Open the Key Fob
Next, use a flat-head screwdriver to gently pry open the key fob. Insert the screwdriver into the small slot at the top of the device and twist gently until the two halves separate.
Remove the Old Battery
Once the key fob is open, you will see the old CR1620 battery. Use your precision screwdriver or another small metal tool, such as a bobby pin or needle, to pry the battery out.
Insert the New Battery
Take your new CR1620 battery and make sure the positive side is facing up. Slide it under the tabs on one side before snapping it into place on the opposite side.
Reassemble the Key Fob
After the new battery is in place, snap the two halves of the key fob back together. Ensure they are securely fastened.
Replace the Screw
Finally, use your precision screwdriver to replace the screw you removed earlier. Tighten it until it is secure, but be careful not to over-tighten.
Testing Your Key Fob
To make sure your key fob is working correctly, press the buttons and check if the light turns on. If it does, your battery replacement was successful.
