To replace the battery of the Smart remote, you need to press the button on the top of the device to lift the key. Once it is lifted, you can use an object like a screwdriver to pry open the small groove located at the bottom of the device. By doing this, the remote can be opened, and you will be able to locate the battery inside.

The old battery can now be removed from its compartment in order to insert the new one. After installation, you can close the remote and check its functionality.
