Replacing Remote Control Batteries  
1 Way Remote Control  
The battery (model CR2032) inside each remote control should last approximately 1  
year 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 small LED on the remote control will dim. To replace the remote  
control batteries:  
1. Remove 3 screws and disassemble the halves of the remote  
control.  
2. Remove the old battery, observing the +/- symbols on the  
battery and replace with a new CR2032 battery.  
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 battery inside the 2 way LCD remote control is rechargeable, use the  
supplied battery charger to charge the battery until the battery icon on the  
LCD screen shows 3 bars indicating charging is complete. It is  
recommended that the battery be fully charged before normal use.
