Locks & Alarm

Always fit a Land Rover STC4080 or a
Panasonic CR2032 replacement battery
(available from a Land Rover dealer) and
adopt the following replacement procedure:
1) Unlock the vehicle and disarm the alarm
system.
2) Turn the starter switch to position ’II’, then
turn to position ’0’ and remove the key.
3) Carefully prise the handset apart, start from
the keyring end using a coin or small
screwdriver. Avoid damaging the seal between
the two halves of the case and DO NOT allow
dirt or moisture to get inside the handset.
4) Slide the battery out of its clip, taking care
to avoid touching the circuit board or the
contact surfaces of the clip.
5) Press and hold one of the buttons for at
least five seconds (this will drain any residual
power from the handset).
6) Fit the new battery, ensuring that correct
polarity is maintained (positive (’+’) side
facing up). Finger marks will adversely affect
battery life; if possible, avoid touching the flat
surfaces of the battery and wipe them clean
before fitting.
7) Reassemble the two halves of the handset,
then operate the PADLOCK symbol button at
least four times within range of the vehicle to
resynchronise the handset.
The handset is now ready for use.
WARNING
The handset contains delicate electronic
circuits and must be protected from impact
and water damage, high temperatures and
humidity, direct sunlight and the effects of
solvents, waxes and abrasive cleaners.
