REMOVAL PROCEDURE




1. Insert a flat object, with a thin edge, into the notch located below the remote alarm button and separate the bottom half from the top half of the transmitter.

2. Remove the battery from the transmitter.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE




1. Install the battery into the transmitter with the positive side of the battery facing up.
2. Snap the front and back half of the transmitter together.
3. Ensure the transmitter halves are tight to prevent moisture from intruding into the transmitter.
