As the opportunistic timers on the mobile devices 102A-102B can fire early or late, it may be possible for a timer event to occur twice during the same key rotation period. For example, two timer events occur between the 15 minute and 30 minute marks for mobile device 102A. Were it not for the timer event at 32 minutes that occurred on mobile device 102B, wireless accessory 201 would have transitioned into wild mode. With a 15 minute near owner timeout, a wild mode transition may still occur for a brief period of time before the connection (812) by mobile device 102B at 32 minutes depending on the duration of the connection (806) established at 16.9 minutes.
