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 air-

craft.
