9. Replacing the Transmitter Battery
The keychain transmitters have a small, red L.E.D. visible through the
top cover. This L.E.D. can be used to indicate battery condition. You will
also notice a decrease in effective transmitter range as the battery
deteriorates.
The replacement battery must be a 12 volt type GP23A or equivalent.
To replace the transmitter battery;
A. Remove the small phillips head screw from the bottom of the
transmitter, and carefully pry the top cover ( button side ) away from
the transmitter.
B. Remove the discharged battery, making note of the orientation of the
+ and - contacts, and dispose of properly.
C. Install the new battery, taking care to place the + and - contacts in the
correct position.
D. Replace the transmitter cover, taking care not to damage the L.E.D.
or switches on the circuit board.
E. Replace the small phillips head screw through the bottom of the
transmitter.
