Replacing the Battery

The LED on your remote control will stop flashing when the battery is low and needs to be replaced. Replace the battery with only 3V CR2032 coin cell battery. Dispose of old battery properly.

To replace battery, follow the instructions as shown below.

  1. On the back side of the remote, using a Phillips #1 screwdriver, unscrew the captive screw until it rotates freely. (Visual: Phillips screwdriver unscrewing captive screw on the back of the remote).
  2. With the remote button side up, pry open the remote top housing from the bottom housing (if the housing will not separate, check that the captive screw is rotating freely). Note: The logic board could detach from the remote bottom. If this occurs, carefully replace using the guiding holes in the board. (Visual: Remote being pried open, showing internal components).
  3. With a cotton swab, push the old battery out of its holder in the direction of the nearest edge. (Visual: Cotton swab pushing out a coin cell battery).
  4. Insert the replacement battery positive side up. (Visual: New coin cell battery being inserted into the holder, positive side up).
  5. Align the remote top and bottom housing so they clip together. Tighten the captive screw until the top and bottom housing no longer shift (do not overtighten the screw to avoid cracking the plastic housing). (Visual: Remote housings being aligned and clipped, then screw being tightened).
