A note concerning the battery inside the transmitter:

Depending on your usage of the transmitter, the battery can last anywhere between 3 to 6 months. When the battery is low, the transmitter will produce two beeps in a repetitive cycle. At that point you should replace your battery with a new one. That is why we recommend that you keep a spare battery somewhere handy such as the glove compartment.
