Replacing Remote Control Batteries

1-Way Remote Control: The batteries (model CR2016) inside each remote control should last approximately 1 year under normal use. When the batteries become weak you will notice the remote control range (the distance from the vehicle the remote control will work) deteriorate and the small LED on the remote control will dim. 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.
