How to Replace Entry Sensor Battery

The Entry Sensor takes one (1) CR-2032 Lithium 3V battery and has a life expectancy of up to 5 years depending on placement and usage.

To change your Entry Sensor battery, slide the sensor up and off its bracket. Then replace the lithium battery and slide the sensor back onto its bracket.
