Replacing the Battery
The LED on your remote control will stop flashing when the battery is low and needs to be replaced, or you may have noticed a low battery charge level in the myQ app. Replace the battery with only 3V CR2032 coin cell battery. Dispose of the old battery properly.
To replace battery, follow the instructions as shown below.
On the back side of the remote, using a [Phillips #1 screwdriver], unscrew the captive screw until it rotates freely.

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).
[Image: A remote being pried open, showing the top housing separating from the bottom housing. A note indicates the logic board might detach.]
NOTE: The logic board could detach from the remote bottom. If this occurs, carefully replace using the guiding holes in the board.
With a cotton swab, push the old battery out of its holder in the direction of the nearest edge.

Insert the replacement battery positive side up.

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).
