Changing the battery
Separate remote fob
- This remote is its own fob, separate from the metal key, which makes it one of the easier ones to open.
- Look for a screw on the back or a notch on the edge. Remove the screw if present, then twist a coin in the notch to split the case.
- Swap the cell or cells, keeping the same side up as the old ones.
- Close the fob and test it. If it does not work, open it again and check the cell is seated flat.
This key takes two CR2016 cells. Change both at the same time and stack them the way the old pair sat; mixing a fresh cell with a tired one shortens the life of the new one.
If a child might have swallowed a coin cell, treat it as an emergency and get to a hospital right away.
