Control function operation
27
EJU31385Yamaha 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 sys-
tem is selected. The engine can only be start-
ed if the unlock mode is selected. (See page
26 for information on the remote control
transmitter.)
TIP:
The Yamaha Security System settings can
only be selected while the engine is stopped.
EJU37413Yamaha Security System settingsThe 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
analog meter unit. (See page 36 for informa-
tion 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 34 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 ini- tial operation, and then the setting is se-
lected.
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 “UN-
LOCK” indicator light blinks two or three
times, then comes on. This indicates the un-
lock mode is selected.

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 activate the Low RPM Mode:
Push the “L-Mode” (unlock) button on the re-
mote control transmitter for more than 4 sec-
onds. Once the beeper sounds three times
and the “UNLOCK” indicator light blinks
three times, then comes on, the “L-MODE”
indicator light comes on and the Low RPM
Mode is activated.
TIP:
If the Low RPM Mode is activated immediate-
ly after the information display turns off, the
“L-MODE” indicator light will not come on.
The “L-MODE” indicator light will come on
when the engine is started.
To deactivate the Low RPM Mode:
Push the “L-Mode” (unlock) button on the re-
mote control transmitter for more than 4 sec-onds. Once the beeper sounds two times and
the “UNLOCK” indicator light blinks two
times, then comes on, the “L-MODE” indica-
tor light goes off and the Low RPM Mode is
deactivated. When the Low RPM Mode is de-
activated, the watercraft returns to the nor-
mal operation mode.
