You have nothing much to worry about with a 202

Do not leave key in ign when changing

If the new battery has just come off charge, link it to the car one for 5 mins with a pair of jumper leads

Then change over the batteries

Make sure that you have the radio code

You could connect an other battery and leave it connected whilst the battery is changed carefully (just dont short the positive to ground), this obviates the need to reset or pratt about with things that dont like the power going off.
Some folks have a small 12v alarm battery on a lighter plug for this purpose.
