Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the battery in your RKE transmitter
should last about two years.
The battery is weak if the LED fails to illuminate or if the
transmitter will not work at the normal range in any
location. If you have to get close to your vehicle before
the transmitter works, it is probably time to change
the battery.
Notice: When replacing the battery, use care not to
touch any of the circuitry. Static from your body
transferred to these surfaces may damage the
transmitter.
To replace the battery in the RKE transmitter, do the
following:
1. Remove the screw from the back of the cover and
open the cover of the transmitter.
2. Pull the transmitter out of the cover and carefully
detach the sticker from the unit. Keep the sticker
clean.
3. Remove the battery and replace it with the new one.
Make sure the positive side of the battery faces up.
Use one three-volt, CR1620, or equivalent, type
battery.
4. Attach the sticker and put the transmitter unit in
the cover.
5. Put the two halves back together and replace the
screw. Make sure the cover is on tightly, so water
will not get in.
6. Test the transmitter operation.
