When you change the battery in the fob you need to press one of the buttons on the fob five times in quick succession to get it working with your Freelander again.

I found the solution, i very easy, i used frist method in this URL
https://www.ebay.co.uk/gds/Rover-Key-Keyfob-Programming-Reprogramming-/10000000007277376/g.html
But, i must be very near from door to lock and unlock, i think my battery must change to new one

Was the remote working before or is it new?

I've never come across the ability for a Freelander to be able to program a fob, using the instructions you linked to. If the fob was programmed with the correct code but out of sync, then it may have triggered it to use the fob again. The equivalent of five presses.
