Step-by-Step Battery Replacement
Remove the Internal Key
First, locate the small button on the side of the key fob. This button is labeled “push.” Hold down the button and pull out the internal key. Set the key aside for now.
Open the Key Fob
Next, look for a small slot near the keyhole. Insert the flathead screwdriver into this slot. Hold the key fob loosely and twist the screwdriver. This action will crack open the key fob, allowing you to lift off the back part. Set the back part aside.
Remove the Old Battery
Inside the key fob, you’ll see the battery. Use your thumb to hold the battery gently. With the flathead screwdriver, get in between the battery and the plastic behind it. Wiggle the tool gently to avoid damaging any components. The battery will eventually pop out.
Insert the New Battery
Take the new CR2032 battery and place it in the key fob. Push it down to get it in place, starting from the bottom and then clicking in the top. Ensure the battery sits in there nicely.
Reassemble the Key Fob
Now, reattach the back part of the key fob. Snap the two pieces together. Insert the internal key back into its slot. Test the key fob to ensure the light turns on, indicating the battery is properly installed and charged.
