How to open Ellard’s Remote and change the battery.

If you need to change the battery of your grey Genesis Transmitter simply turn the controller away from you (buttons facing away) and pull the cord towards your body. This will open the casing of the controller. From here you will be able to access and change the battery. For reference, see the demonstration video below.

For the white Genesis Transmitter, to reveal the battery simply unscrew the casing from the back of the device.

Both remotes use a CR2O32 3-volt lithium battery. These typically have a two to three-year lifespan. Something to note is that some owners of the grey Genesis remote mistake that it is out of battery when they have instead accidentally locked their remote. Before changing the battery, try following the next step to ensure this isn’t the case.

How to lock and unlock the Ellard remote.

The grey Genesis Transmitter comes with an added safety feature where users can lock and unlock the controller. This is an excellent feature that stops users from accidentally activating their doors.

Here’s how to lock and unlock your controller:

1. Hold down the middle stop button.

2. Wait 5-6 seconds until the blue LED flashes.

3. Release the button.

These easy three steps will lock and unlock your controller!
