Default Key Fobs Broken?

I recently bought a 2000 FRC and the owner gave me 2 keys with fobs. They said they'd need the batteries replaced. I got the batteries replaced at Batteries+ but they're still not working. There's no sign of life with any button I press. Does this mean the fobs are bad? Is there a reprogramming thing I have to go through upon replacing batteries? I'm not sure where else to go from here. Seems strange that both wouldn't work.

You do need to program the fobs to the car.

Thanks that was easy. Held Lock and Unlock buttons simultaneously for 7 seconds until the horn sounded and now they're working perfectly.
