The flash and horn sound indicates that you have somehow triggered the theft alarm while installing the battery.

I suggest that you try again, and if the alarm is triggered again, use your remote key dongle and do this:

Lock and then unlock. It should then sent a signal to computer/alarm system to dis-arm. Good luck.
