●

removed because the key got wet, rein-

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 acci-
dentally. Pressing a button may cause the
electronic key to emit radio waves that
could interfere with the operation of the air-
craft.
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 stops.
(→P.333)
As the electronic key always receives
●
radio waves, the battery will become
depleted even if the electronic key is not
used. The following symptoms indicate
that the electronic key battery may be
depleted. Replace the battery when nec-
essary. (→P.333)
