Place the key in the remote control (as shown).

Align the holes with each other.

Install a new lock pin in the hole.

Carefully tap in the lock pin without damaging the key or the remote control, so that it passes through on both sides.

Check that it's possible to fold in the key and that it remains in the folded out position.

NOTE: If the remote control needs to be replaced, then the battery shall be transferred to the new remote control.
