Smart key precautions

CAUTION

• If the transmitter (or smart key) is in

close proximity to your cell phone or

smart phone, the signal from the

transmitter (or smart key) could be

blocked by normal operation of your

cell phone or smart phone. This is

especially important when the phone

is active such as making call, receiving

calls, text messaging, and/or send-

ing/receiving emails. Avoid placing

the transmitter (or smart key) and

your cell phone or smart phone in the

same pants or jacket pocket and

maintain adequate distance between

the two devices.
