PERSONAL INJURY & PRODUCT DAMAGE
Do not replace or charge batteries in a potentially explosive atmos-
phere. Contact sparking may occur while installing or removing bat-
teries and cause an explosion.
All batteries can cause property damage and/or bodily injury such
as burns if a conductive material such as jewelry, keys or beaded
chains touches exposed terminals. The material may complete an
electrical circuit (short circuit) and become quite hot. Exercise care
in handling any charged battery, particularly when placing it inside a
pocket, purse or other container with metal objects.
LARGE REMOTE BATTERY INSTALLATION:
1. Firmly slide battery cover (remote back) down to remove.
2. Insert one 9V battery.
3. Replace the battery cover and slide up until secure.
The battery type is 9V alkaline battery which will provide approximately
45 minutes of continuous use.
KEY FOB BATTERY INSTALLATION:
1. Using a Phillips small tip screwdriver, remove the screw at the bottom
of the key fob remote.
2. Using a standard (thin) blade screwdriver carefully pry apart the two
halves of the remote case.
3. Carefully lift the front half of the case away from the bottom case to
expose the circuit board and battery.
4. The battery is type 23, (12 volt). Remove the battery from the holder
making note of the polarity. Install the new battery into the case and
re-assemble the enclosure and install the screw.
: Remove batteries before storing your remote for extended periods.
NOTE
Batteries corrode over time and may cause permanent damage to
your remote.
