Changing the battery

Key with remote in the head

  1. Here the key blade and remote are one piece. You open the plastic head, not the blade.
  2. Find the seam around the head. Twist a coin or small flat screwdriver in the notch at the blade end or side until the halves part.
  3. The coin cell is usually under or on the back of a small board. Keep the rubber button pad in place while you swap the cell.
  4. Close the head, check there is no gap, and try the buttons.

A CR2032 is 20 mm across and 3.2 mm thick. CR2032, CR2025 and CR2016 share the same width but not the same thickness, so a swap between them can leave a loose contact or a case that will not close.

If a child might have swallowed a coin cell, treat it as an emergency and get to a hospital right away.
