Help for a pathetic newbie

[rkmore]

Sorry in advance for this question but I have been unable to figure out the answer from searches I have done.

I replaced the battery in a 1998 986 that I recently bought (it came without the manual). After the replacement I have a crank but no start condition.

From what I have read there seems to be some sort of security procedure.

When I turn the key to "on" I see the countdown timer and I wait until it times out then try to start but still no luck. I have read many different snippets about pressing the key fob while doing this etc. but I cant find the complete procedure documented online and I can't find anywhere to download the manual.

Can anyone point me to the exact complete procedure I need to follow?

Thank you.
