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 acci-
dentally. Pressing a button may cause the

could interfere with the operation of the air-
craft.

Before driving
●To reduce key battery depletion when the
electronic key is to not be used for long
periods of time, set the electronic key to

leave the electronic ke y within 3 ft. (1 m)
of the following electr ical appliances that
produce a magnetic field:
•TVs
• Personal computers
• Cellular phones, cordless phones and battery chargers
• Recharging cellular phones or cordless
