- Insert a flat, thin object into the slot on the side of the transmitter to separate it.
- Remove the old battery without using a metal object.
- Insert the new CR2032 or equivalent battery with the positive side facing down.
- Snap the transmitter back together.
- Reinstall the key into the transmitter.
