
When riding in an aircraft
When bringing an electronic key onto an aircraft, make sure you do not press any
buttons 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.

Electronic key battery depletion

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. (


As the electronic key always receives radio waves, the battery will become
depleted even if the electronic key is not used. The following symptoms indi-
cate that the electronic key battery may be depleted. Replace the battery when
necessary. (
