Watercraft control functions EJU41390Remote control transmitter
The Yamaha Security System and Low RPM
Mode settings can be selected by operating
the remote control transmitter. (See page 25
for Yamaha Security System setting proce-
dures and page 32 for Low RPM Mode activa-
tion procedures.)
Since the watercraft is programmed to recog-
nize the internal code from this transmitter
only, the settings can only be selected with
this transmitter.
If you accidentally lose your remote control
transmitter or if it is not operating properly,
contact a Yamaha dealer.
When operating the watercraft, always keep
the transmitter with you, such as by storing itin the transmitter holder in the beverage hold-
er, so that it is not lost.
NOTICE
ECJ00752

The remote control transmitter is not
completely waterproof. Do not sub-
merge the transmitter or operate it un-
derwater. If the transmitter is
submerged, dry it with a soft, dry cloth,
and then check that it is operating prop-
erly. If the transmitter is not operating
properly, contact a Yamaha dealer.

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

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

Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the remote
control transmitter. Do not use deter-
gent, alcohol, or other chemicals.

Do not attempt to disassemble the re-
mote control transmitter yourself. Other-
wise, the transmitter may not operate
properly. If the transmitter needs a new
battery, contact a Yamaha dealer. Refer
to local hazardous waste regulations
when disposing of transmitter batteries.

EJU31384Yamaha Security System
The Yamaha Security System functions to
help prevent unauthorized use or theft of the
watercraft. The lock and unlock modes of the
security system can be selected by operating
the remote control transmitter that is included
with this watercraft. The engine cannot be
started if the lock mode of the security system
is selected. The engine can only be started if
the unlock mode is selected. (See page 24 for
information on the remote control transmitter.)
TIP:
The Yamaha Security System settings can
only be selected while the engine is stopped.
EJU37412Yamaha Security System settings
The Yamaha Security System settings will be
confirmed by the number of beeps when the
remote control transmitter is operated, and by
the “UNLOCK” indicator light of the dual ana-
log meter unit. (See page 34 for information
on the dual analog meter unit.)
TIP:

The beeper sounds two times for the nor-
mal operation mode or three times for the
Low RPM Mode. (See page 32 for Low
RPM Mode activation procedures.)

If the remote control transmitter is operated
while the dual analog meter unit is in the
standby state, the unit will perform the initial
operation, and then the setting is selected.To select the lock mode:
Push the lock button on the remote control
transmitter briefly. The beeper sounds once
and the “UNLOCK” indicator light blinks once,
then goes off. This indicates the lock mode is
selected.
To select the unlock mode:
Push the “L-Mode” (unlock) button on the re-
mote control transmitter briefly. The beeper
sounds two or three times and the “UNLOCK”
indicator light blinks two or three times, then
comes on. This indicates the unlock mode is
selected.
