For battery replacement, use one Duracell

battery,

type DL

2032, or a similar type.

To replace the battery, do the following:

1. Insert a coin, or similar object, into the notch near

the key ring. Turn it counterclockwise to separate the
two halves of the transmitter.

2. Once the transmitter is separated, use a pencil eraser

to remove the old battery. Do not use a metal object.

3. Remove and replace the battery. Replace it as the

instructions inside the cover indicate.

4. Snap the transmitter back together tightly to be

sure no moisture can enter.

5. Check the operation of the transmitter.
