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