Once opened, use a coin to pry in the slot left free by opening the key. At this point, you will see the CR2025 battery in its housing; extract it using a screwdriver and replace it, ensuring the new battery is inserted with the positive side facing you. Finally, refit the plastic cover by placing it in its seat and applying light pressure.
