To begin, locate the small screw on the back of the key fob. Use the Phillips head screwdriver to remove the screw. Once the screw is removed, you will be able to open the key fob. Be careful not to lose the screw. Inside the key fob, you will see the battery. Use the flathead screwdriver to gently pry the battery out of its compartment. Be careful not to damage the battery or the key fob. Once the battery is removed, you can insert the new battery into the compartment. Make sure that the positive and negative terminals of the battery are facing the correct way. Once the new battery is inserted, you can close the key fob and replace the screw.
