separate the bottom
of the transmitter from the top.
2. Remove the battery and replace it with a new one,

(+) side of the battery is
facing down.
3. Snap the top and bottom together.
4. Test the operation of the transmitter with your
vehicle.
If the transmitter does not work, try
synchronizing the transmitter with the receiver.
