an incorrect replacement battery
is used. Replace only with the
same or equivalent type of battery.
. Batteries should not be exposed
to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire or the like.
The two 3-volt lithium batteries (model
CR-1220) supplied in your remote engine
start transmitter should last approximately
3 years, depending on usage. When the
batteries begin to weaken, you will notice
a decrease in range (distance from the
vehicle that your remote engine start
system operates). Follow the instructions
below to change the remote engine start
transmitter batteries.

1. Carefully pry the remote engine start
transmitter halves apart using a small flathead screwdriver.

2. Remove the circuit board from the
bottom half of the case and slide the white
plastic battery holder out from under the
battery tab releasing the batteries. Remove the old batteries and replace with
new ones. Be sure to observe the (+) sign
on the old batteries before removing them
to ensure that the new batteries are
inserted properly (battery “+” should be
pointed away from the transmitter circuit
board on both batteries).
3. Carefully snap the case halves back
together, then test the remote engine start
system.
