Step-by-step instructions for removing and replacing the battery
- Open SimonsVoss transponder:
There is a small notch on the edge of the housing. Place a small, flat screwdriver in the notch and open the housing with a careful lever movement. - Replace the transponder battery:
Slide the battery holder towards the edge and then lift it up. The battery can now be replaced. The negative pole must point towards the circuit board. The positive pole remains visible and points upwards towards the side of the housing. - Assemble the transponder:
Close the battery retaining clip. If less than 30 seconds have passed since the battery was removed, the transponder even retains its programming! Then replace the housing cover and close it with light pressure until you hear it click into place.
Final tips for maintenance and care of the transponder
Check the function of the transponder and change the batteries regularly to ensure trouble-free use. The transponder beeps as soon as the battery power runs low, so you always know whether your device is working. Also avoid exposing the transponder to extreme temperature fluctuations or moisture. With these simple measures, you can ensure that your electronic door opener will function for many years to come.
