Battery Information

The 2-way remote 7817 *, is powered by two coin cell batteries (CR-2016), and the 1-way remote 7617, is powered by a single coin cell battery (CR-2016). Operating range diminishes as bat-tery charge depletes.

Low Battery Alert

When unlocking the vehicle using a remote control with a low battery charge, the system provides a notification by emitting a third horn honk output (if connected). If confirmation chirps are programmed off, the system still emits one horn honk when unlocking. After performing a command with the remote control, several beeps play to indicate the battery/batteries need replacing. Once the alerts begin, the remote control will remain operational for several days but the battery/batteries should be replaced at the earliest opportunity or failure to control the system may occur.

Battery Replacement

1. Unscrew the hardware on unit rear and remove from housing (if present).
2. Use a small flat blade screwdriver and insert it into the slot located along the bottom of the remote, near the key ring. Carefully pry open the case.
3. Gently slide out the used battery/batteries to remove it from the holding clip. Orient the new battery for the correct polarity and insert into holding clip.
4. Realign the case parts and snap together by pressing firmly and evenly on the front and back. Reinstall screw (if present).

Battery Disposal

VoxxElectronics cares about the environment. If you need to dispose of the battery, please do so in accordance with your municipal requirements for battery disposal. * Note: Your system may not include the 2-way remote (7817).
