Transmitter Fob Battery Replacement

The transmitter fobs will normally operate within a range of 5
metres from the car, but this may be reduced by the presence
of other radio signals in the vicinity. A small LED tell tale on the
transmitter fob will flash whilst the button is held down to indicate
correct operation, but if the lamp flashes irregularly or only once,
transmitter battery replacement is required.
The transmitters are powered by a long life 3V Lithium battery,
type CR2032, which with normal use should last for 3 years. To
ensure continuity of operation, it is recommended to renew the
batteries every 12 months:
- Using a small screwdriver, prise open the case in the areas
marked 'open'.
- Remove the old battery and wait for 10 seconds before insert-
ing the new battery with +ve sign uppermost, and holding the
battery only by the periphery.
- Align the locating studs, and firmly press the case together.
- The transmitter should now operate normally, but may require
re-synchronisation with the control unit.
Transmitter Re-synchronisation
If at any time the transmitter does not function, and the battery
is known to be good, carry out the following re-synchronisation
procedure:
- Stand close to the car and hold down both buttons on the
transmitter until the LED on the fob is extinguished (approx.
10 seconds).
