If  the  remote  key  is  in  close  proximi-
ty  to  your  mobile  phone,  the  signal
could  be  blocked  by  your  mobile
phone’s  normal  operational  signals.
This is especially important when the
phone  is  active  such  as  making  and
receiving  calls,  text  messaging,
and/or  sending/receiving  emails.
Avoid  placing  the  remote  key  and
your mobile phone in the same loca-
tion  and  always  try  to  maintain  an
adequate  distance  between  the  two
devices.
