- Carefully pry out the old battery.
- Insert a new CR2032, 3 V battery with the positive side (+) facing upward and press it down until it locks under the catches.
- Replace the battery cover and turn it clockwise to CLOSE, then press the rear cover and the front cover back until they click into place.
