Help me get me air tag to closed!

I am having a difficult time getting my air tags to stay closed after changing the battery. Anyone else have this problem with air tags? Please offer any tips that might help me get my air tag to stay closed.

Thanks

Double-check the following:

  • Are you using a non-bitterant coated CR2032 coin-type battery for the replacement?
  • Did you place this battery with the "+" side up (towards the open side of the tag when the cover is removed)?
  • Was there any debris inside the tag?
  • Was the tag damaged in any way that would prevent the battery from fully seating? Note that where the battery rests on is "springy."
  • When you pushed down on the battery (before placing on the cover) did the tag beep? It should.
  • When placing the cover, did you press down with two fingers before turning the cover clockwise to lock it in place?
