Battery Replacement

transmitter should last about two years.
You can tell the batteries are weak if the transmitter
won’t work at the normal range in any location.
If you
have to get close to
your vehicle before the transmitter
works, it’s probably time to change the batteries.
To replace your batteries:

back of the transmitter. Gently pry apart the front

Put
the new batteries into the transmitter as shown
on the transmitter. Use Duracell@ batteries, type
DL20 1 6, or equivalent.
Put the two halves back together. Make sure the
halves are together tightly
so water won’t get in.
Test
the transmitter.
