I did not have to reprogram when I changed the batteries. Only changed them once so far, so...

No but looses the time unless you very quick at reconnecting it. I always check my programing after changing a battery and it has not changed but until yesterday I have always had to reset time. I changed the battery yesterday and the time remained on so I guess I was quicker than normal.

You need the original key to reprogram it. You need a key for the lock before you can change it to another key. Odds of someone having the same "KEY" is highly unlikely.

I am afraid I am not sure. Once we got it, we installed the batteries and we were good to go! No programming necessary!

Yes, you have to reprogram the time and the schedule every time you turn it on.

I was able to. His do need to have all fobs there when you program them, not just the new one since it resets at that time.

to program fob ie. battery swap: 1. turn ignition to KOEO (key On Engine Off) 2. Hold lock+unlock buttons on remote. 3. depress gas pedal to floor three times and hold while still holding buttons. 4. if successful, locks wile cycle. The key fob is now programmed to the vehicle.But you shouldn't have to do any of that. you're just replacing the outer shell

Sort of. There is no programming or special set up required but the batteries will likely need to be fully charged first. Takes a few hours as I recall. I have been quite happy with mine.

Hi Toni! You don't need to change the battery if it is not broken. It will automatically charge itself once placed in the base/transmitter. In case you want to change the battery, you can press the "PUSH" button on the left housing to open the battery compartment lid. -Anthony

It depends on how strong your batteries are and how long you're away. I imagine the batteries will last several months if the unit is turned off, but I've not experimented with that. When I leave my cabin I just take it with me -- it's handy to pack and I like having it in both homes. By coincidence I use the same weather channel in both my homes, so no reprogramming is required when I go from one to the other. If you'd rather leave it in the cabin and the batteries die, it's not very hard to reprogram; maybe write down the channel you use so you don't forget while you're gone. Be sure you turn off the weather function -- that will drain your batteries even if there aren't any weather alerts.

Normally, you shouldn't have a problem when you change batteries, but since you do, you will have to retrain your remotes to your alarm brain. The manual can guide you through this, or you can take it to an install shop where they have trained techs to help.

This item is just a replacement case, in other words, it is just the exterior shell of your remote opener. You have to move the interior electronics from inside your old case to this new case to make a new working remote. Moving the electronics is simple to do. Since you are using your current electronics, there is no reprogramming necessary. See elsewhere on this listing for more info if needed.

The batteries are very easy to change. Easy as changing the batteries in a flashlight. If I can do it, anyone can!

After removing the screw, push the battery cover up towards the top of the device with your thumb. We haven't had to change the battery, but it was definitely a good question.
