When bringing an electronic key onto an aircraft, make sure you do not press any but- tons on the electronic key while inside the ai rcraft 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 interferewith the operation of the aircraft.

●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 so und in the cabin when the hybrid system is stopped. ( P. 559)
●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 elec- tronic key battery may be depleted. Replace the battery when necessary. ( P. 511) 
• The smart entry & start system or the wireless remote control does not operate. 
• The detection area becomes smaller. • The LED indicator on the key surface does not turn on.
●To avoid serious deterioration, do not leave the electronic key within 1 m (3 ft.) of thefollowing electrical appliances  that produce a magnetic field: 
•TVs
