Tools and Materials Needed
Before starting, gather the following tools and materials:

- Small Phillips head screwdriver
- CR1620 battery
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Remove the Phillips Head Screw
On the back of the key fob, locate the small Phillips head screw. Use your small Phillips head screwdriver to remove it. Set the screw aside carefully, as it is tiny and easy to lose.
2. Open the Key Fob
Insert a flathead screwdriver into the seam of the key fob. Twist the screwdriver to pry open the fob, revealing the battery inside. Be gentle to avoid damaging the plastic casing.
3. Remove the Old Battery
Once the fob is open, you will see the old CR1620 battery. Use the Phillips head screwdriver to gently pry the battery out. There are small openings in the plastic that you can use to get leverage. Work the battery out carefully.
4. Insert the New Battery
Take your new CR1620 battery and ensure the positive side (marked with a plus sign) is facing down. Place the battery into the compartment and press it down firmly to secure it.
5. Reassemble the Key Fob
Align the two halves of the key fob and snap them back together. Once the fob is closed, reinsert the Phillips head screw and tighten it. Your key fob should now be fully operational with the new battery.
