Default FOB Turn-Off

I'm having a Sr moment and can't remember how to turn off the FOB in my 2017 RX350, I;ve done on one, but can't remember how nor can I find any tread on this.
I think you have to hold down 1 button while pressing 3 times another till the light flashes 3 times. Can't remember which buttons. Can anybody help?

Thank you Danais7, I looked in my manual. but couldn't come up with an answer, I guess I wasn't entering the right word. Again Thanks.
Just re-checked under your heading (electronic Key......) in my manual and found it on page 148. When I tried and entered FOB no matter what combination I was coming up empty. I got this printed and filed.

This works well when you wish to jog, bike or hike without the heavy, non-waterproof
$300 fob. Apply the deactivation sequence with the drivers door open and then slip
the mechanical key out of the fob. Hide the fob inside the car and close the door.
When you return just pull the driver's door handle to reveal the lock cylinder and
use the mechanical key to open it up. Press any fob button to revive it and you're off!

If you have a remote start/unlock device that works with an app (Like MPC) you can do this with the "electric key" and give someone a temporary login to the account so they can then open the car, find the key, and off they go.

Heavy? Non-waterproof? The fob that I had with my 2017 was certainly not heavy. And I'd never take it swimming!
