I'll look at the manual tomorrow to see how to set it. I've looked at the manual enough last two days.
Removed seat on bike to get bag with owners manual. Sure enough, key was in same bag. So, yes, plastikey was under seat while remote key was in my jacket pocket, probably less than a foot apart.
That may well have been the source of trouble.
I've been running it that way for 7 years without a problem.
I put plastikey back in bag under seat, so I'll be running it that way in the future, too.
I always check key charge level when I start bike up. It had gotten down pretty low, maybe 25%. My theory is that level dropped too low while I was riding, so instead of producing low battery alert, it freaked out with 'key out of range.' And, the bike's fail safe reaction is to unlock everything. I could have operated the bike with no key (!), but the delta! yellow light is annoying. And it probably pretty good to be able to lock it.
In the future, I'll replace the remote key battery before it gets very low.
So if the emergency key is under the seat locked in it and you lose your main key how do you get to the emergency key to use it in an emergency?
I replace my fob battery once a year just to avoid the above issues
Detail, details
Debbie and I would be ok as we have a metal non chipped key we always carry.
I ordered those when the bike was new because the seat lock is stiff and thought we might break the key in the fob.
We did that on our 2016 and 2022 RSs. When we bought the keys last year they were around $35 each from the dealer.

I've found the "Key Fob" alert warning on my K1600 to be quite finicky. If I keep the fob in the side compartment, the bike starts and runs fine, but I will get the warning light. If I put the key fob in my jacket or pants pocket, the warning goes away. So it would seem to me the location tolerance of where the key fobs placed is pretty small.
Out of curiosity, where is the antenna on a K1600?
