When riding in an aircraft
When bringing an electronic key onto an aircraft, make sure you do not press any but-
tons on the electronic key while inside the aircraft cabin. If you are carrying an electronic
key in your bag etc., ensure that the buttons are not likely to be pressed accidentally.
Pressing a button may cause the electronic key to emit radio waves that could interfere
with the operation of the aircraft.

The standard battery life is 1 to 2 years. (The card key battery life is about a year and a
half.)

If the battery becomes low, an alarm will sound in the cabin when the engine is stopped.

tronic key battery may be depleted. Replace the battery when necessary. (
