Step-by-Step Battery Replacement
Follow these simple steps to replace your key fob battery:
Step 1: Remove the Screw
Start by locating the screw on the back of the key fob. Use your Phillips head screwdriver to remove it. Set the screw aside in a safe place to avoid losing it.
Step 2: Open the Key Fob
Next, find the opening at the top of the key fob. Insert your flathead screwdriver into this opening and twist gently. This will start to crack open the fob. Continue to work your way down, twisting until the key fob comes apart easily.
Step 3: Remove the Old Battery
Once the key fob is open, locate the battery. Use your flathead screwdriver to carefully lift the battery out of its compartment. Be gentle to avoid damaging any components.
Step 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, making sure it sits flat and secure.
Step 5: Reassemble the Key Fob
Line up the two halves of the key fob and press them together until they snap into place. Finally, reinsert the screw you removed earlier and tighten it with your Phillips head screwdriver.
