Changing the Battery in a GENI/GENII Lockbox
Introduction
The GENI or GENII (silver) REALTOR® lockbox has an internal lithium battery. The batteries in GENI
lockboxes last between 2 to 3 years, depending upon climate, storage and use. The batteries in GENII
lockboxes last up to 6 years, depending upon climate, storage and use.
Note
: Do not remove old batteries from a lockbox until you have a replacement in hand. Also, do
not carry unpackaged batteries in your pocket or purse as
metal objects could cause a short circuit and thereby cause
bodily harm or property damage.
