Pop open the key fob from the side and you will notice a watch battery inside the fob, replace it and make sure nothing came unsoldered from the board and that should fix the problem

I have less than fond memories of tracing electrical troubles in a Jaguar (though much older than yours). Here's the basic process you need to follow:
1. Pull all the fuses. Does the battery drain overnight?
If yes, then a circuit that is not fuse protected is the problem. Start with starter/solenoid, etc. Disconnect each thing and test with meter.
2. If battery drain stops, then use meter to check current drain on each fuse. One will have more than a trickle.
3. Once you find which system is draining, you can narrow it down further by disconnecting each thing on that circuit.
Yeah, It's a pain, and may take days, but you can find it.
Insert your key in the ignition and turn it on and off. Push the Arm button until you hear it lock. That does the trick for me always. I own a 02 jag myself.
Step1 To program a key fob insert the key and turn to position I. Step 2
Turn the key to position II and back to I (quickly repeat four times) and you will hear a chime if it was done correctly. Step 3
Turn the key all the way back and take it out. Step 4
Now press any button on the key fobs to be added and you will hear another chime.
5. If you have a set of keys for step (4) you have to press any button
on two or more fobs at the same time so they both have the same code or
else one will work and the others wont.
Your key fob needs reprogramming, and yes the alarm will go off when you open the door, but you have enough time to put the key in the ignition which will prevent the alarm sounding. Car is usable until you get the fob sorted by locking and unlocking using the key.
