The following are tips from AHM in the use and maintenance of the Honda Smart Key to keep it optimal:

1. Avoid Excessive Pressure

Excessive pressure on the remote smart key can cause damage.

Press the remote button properly when activating or using the features available on the Honda Smart Key System and avoid falling from a height.

2. Keep it dry

Water entering from the sidelines of the remote can potentially cause damage to the Honda Smart Key System due to an electric short circuit.

If exposed to water or wet, it should be dried before use and avoid exposure to the sun for too long because it will damage the related components.

3. Avoid Putting the Remote in the Luggage

It is better not to put the smart key in the trunk of the motorbike or in places that could potentially be left behind and allow the motorbike to be operated by others.

Also make sure the remote is always attached to you, can be placed in a bag or in a pocket to reduce the potential for losing the remote smart key.

Keep the ID Tag in a safe place and do not share the ID Tag code with others.

The ID tag functions as a tool to operate a motorcycle in an emergency, additional registration when all Honda Smart Key Systems are lost and immobilizer ID registration when the Smart Control Unit is replaced.

6. Save Smart Key Backup

It is enough to carry only one Smart Key when driving, so that if you experience losing your remote smart key while driving, there are still other spare smart keys at home.
