remote and gently pry the two halves apart. Separate the front and back cover.
3. Remove the screw securing the circuit board to the back cover.
4. Lift the circuit board out of the back cover.
5. The batteries are located on the back of the circuit board. To replace each
battery, grip the side of the battery and slide it out of it’s support. Note: Always
replace both batteries. Replace batteries with positive (+) face up.
6. Place the circuit board (buttons facing up) onto the plastic supports in the
back cover. Secure the circuit board in place with the retaining screw.
7. Place the back cover over the front cover and snap the two halves together.
