• You are carrying the smart entry remote together with telecommunications
equipment, laptop computers, ce ll phones, or wireless devices.

depending on re gularity of use.
The battery is consumed whenever the smart entry
remote is receivi ng strong radio wave s. Avoid placing
it near electrical appliances such as televisions and
