Remote Battery Replacement

1994-1995 RR CLASSIC/1994-1996 DISCOVERY, REMOTE BATTERY REPLACEMENT
The battery replacement for the above vehicles is the same, however, the low battery indications are different for 1994 - 1995 models and the 1996 Discovery.

1994 - 1995 Low Handset Battery Indicator
When the remote handset batteries need replacement it will be indicated by the hazard light only flashing ONCE when the system is armed instead of the normal THREE flashes.

1996 Discovery Low Handset Battery Indicator
When the battery needs replacing, it will be apparent from the following symptoms:
- The red alarm indicator light will flash for 10 seconds after the vehicle is unlocked, or until the starter switch is turned on.
- The handset will only work every other operation.
- The hazard warning lights will not flash on when the alarm is disarmed.





Handset Battery Replacement Procedure:
1. Carefully open the handset, start from the keyring end using a coin or small screwdriver. Avoid damaging the seal between the two halves of the case and DO NOT allow dirt or moisture to get inside the handset.
2. Slide the battery out of its clip, taking care to avoid touching the circuit board or the contact surfaces of the clip.
3. Press and hold each button in turn for at least five (5) seconds(this will drain any residual power from the handset).
4. Install the new battery ensuring that correct polarity is maintained (positive ('+') side facing up).
5. Reassemble the two halves of the handset.
6. Unlock the vehicle using the key, then operate the lock button of the handset at least four times to resynchronize. The handset is now ready for use.

NOTE: The 1994 - 1995 handset uses 2 batteries, the 1996 uses 1 battery.
