Once the fob is open then you can move the blade of the key backwards to take off the cover and reveal the old battery. It'll appear as tiny coins with the size of the battery and a plus and minus symbols embossed on one side. Make sure to insert the battery from the same size and orientation it correctly. Be sure to only touch the battery from the sides. Doing so from the top and bottom can cause moisture to be transferred which can reduce battery life.
