Remote control transmitter
The Yamaha Security System and low-
RPM mode settings are selected using the
remote control transmitter. (See “Yamaha
Security System/Low-RPM mode” on page
2-20 for information on using the remote
control transmitter.)
CAUTION:@ The Yamaha Security System and low-
RPM mode settings can only be selected
using the remote control transmitter.
Observe the following precautions to
protect your remote control transmitter:

Store the remote control transmitter
carefully so it will not be lost. When
operating the watercraft, use the trans-
mitter holder 1 in the watertight com-
partment. If you accidentally lose your
remote control transmitter, contact a
Yamaha dealer.

While the remote control transmitter
has been designed for use in wet envi-
ronments, it should not be operated
underwater or submerged for an
extended length of time. If it gets wet,
dry it with a soft, dry cloth.

Keep the remote control transmitter
away from high temperatures and do
not place it in direct sunlight.

Do not drop the remote control trans-
mitter, subject it to strong shocks, or
place any heavy items on it.

Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the trans-
mitter. Do not use detergent, alcohol,
or other chemicals.

If the remote control transmitter needs
a new battery or is not operating prop-
erly, contact a Yamaha dealer. Do not
attempt to replace the battery yourself.

Yamaha Engine Management
System (YEMS)
This model is equipped with an inte-
grated, computerized management system
that controls and adjusts ignition timing, fuel
injection, engine diagnostics, and the Off-
Throttle Steering (OTS) system.

Yamaha Security System/
Low-RPM mode
This watercraft is equipped with a remote
control transmitter 1 that is used to select
the security system and low-RPM mode set-
tings. Since the watercraft is programmed to
recognize the internal code from this trans-
mitter only, the security system setting can
only be changed with this transmitter. If you
lose the remote control transmitter or it does
not operate properly, contact a Yamaha
dealer.

Yamaha Security System
The Yamaha Security System functions to
help prevent unauthorized use or theft of the
watercraft. The engine cannot be started if
the security system is in the lock mode. The
engine can only be started in the unlock
mode.

Selecting the normal mode/low-
RPM mode
The normal mode and low-RPM mode
can only be selected when the engine is
stopped in the unlock mode. Press the
unlock button for more than 4 seconds to
select the normal mode or low-RPM mode.
Normal mode
If the beeper sounds twice, the normal
mode is activated.
The watercraft can be ridden normally.
Low-RPM mode
If the beeper sounds three times, the low-
RPM mode is activated and the “L-MODE”
indicator light 1 comes on.
Maximum engine speed (r/min) in the low-
RPM mode is limited to approximately 80%
of the maximum engine speed in the normal
mode.
NOTE:@
If neither the start switch nor the remote
control transmitter is operated within
25 seconds after the unlock button is
pressed to select the unlock mode, the
multifunction meter display and the
“L-MODE” indicator light will go off. If this
occurs, press the lock button briefly to
select the lock mode, press the unlock
button briefly to select the unlock mode,
and then press the unlock button again for
more than 4 seconds to select the normal
mode or low-RPM mode.

While the engine is running, input from
the remote control transmitter is not
received.

Launching the watercraft
Make sure that there are no obstructions
behind you.
Use the remote control transmitter to
select the unlock mode. (See page 2-21 for
Yamaha Security System and low-RPM
mode selection procedures.)
After the watercraft is in the water, start
the engine. Shift into reverse and move the
watercraft back slowly. If there are waves,
someone should make sure that the water-
craft is not pushed into the trailer before
backing away.
