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

accidentally. Pressing a button may cause the electronic key to emit radio waves

that could interfere with the operation of the aircraft.
