WARNING!!
Covering a registered FOB with clothing, a flotation device, towel, with
your arm or legs, another body of a person, or pet may cause a

onboard Host/FOB communication by carrying a registered FOB

If the FOB sees a boot message from a host within 3 minutes, it will
reset it’s timers and begin communication at the time slot indicated
by its FOB_ID
FOB will communicate with the host every 0.5s
If it misses 2 communications with the host, it will wait for new
synchronization from the host. If it has not been synchronized
within 3 minutes it will turn itself off.
If the Fob receives a turn-off command from the host, it will turn
itself off. The FOB cannot be manually turned off. The Host
automatically turns off the FOB when it is turned off.
