Replacing Remote Control Batteries

1-Way Remote Control: The batteries (model CR2016) inside each remote control should last approximately 1 year under normal use.

To replace the remote control batteries:

1. Unsnap and disassemble the halves of the remote control.
2. Remove the old batteries, observing the +/- symbols on the batteries and replace with new CR2016 batteries.
3. Reassemble the halves of the remote control.
4. Test operation of the remote control.
