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 and install the 3 screws.  
4. Test operation of the remote control.  
2-way LCD Remote Control:  
The CR2450 battery inside the 2-way LCD remote control should last approximately 6  
months 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 BATTERY icon on the LCD remote control will show.  
1. Gently slide the battery cover off of the remote control.  
2. Remove the old CR2450 battery, observing the +/- symbols on the battery, and  
replace with a new CR2450 battery.
