Battery Capacity Check Procedure

BATTERY CAPACITY CHECK PROCEDURE:

The lithium battery used in the transmitter will measure a voltage of 2.5 volts or more until the battery capacity is fully consumed. To accurately determine the remaining battery capacity, a load must be applied.

NOTE: Make all battery checks at room temperature (low temperatures may adversely affect output).





1. Key Type Transmitters:
Remove screw, pry cover up slightly, and push cover away from portion of the key.

Fob Type Transmitters:
Insert a screwdriver and twist to remove cover.

2. Inspect the battery terminals, transmitter case, and cover for corrosion or visible damage. Replace transmitter if necessary.

3. Depress the transmitter button for 1 second and then release for 1 second. Repeat this process 5 times.





4. Connect the positive (+) lead from the tester to the transmitter battery (+) and the negative (-) lead as shown.

5. Depress the transmitter button again and measure the voltage. Verify that the voltage drops when the transmitter button is depressed (no voltage drop may indicate a faulty transmitter). Transmitters equipped with the Auto Power Off Function will only load the battery for 0.8 - 1.2 seconds after the transmitter button is depressed (voltage must be checked during this time). If loaded battery voltage is below 2.1 volts, replace the battery.
