Remote control transmitter
(for VX110 Deluxe)
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 2-15 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 trans-
mitter. Observe the following precautions
to protect your remote control transmit-
ter:

Store the remote control transmitter
carefully so it will not be lost. When
operating the watercraft, use the trans-
mitter holder 1 in the glove compart-
ment. 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
under water 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 Security System/
Low-RPM mode (for VX110
Deluxe)
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.
EJU21561
Yamaha Security System (for
VX110 Deluxe)
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.

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.

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

RPM mode selection procedures.)
2. Launch the watercraft in water free from
weeds and debris and at least 60 cm
(2 ft) deep.

60 cm (2 ft) deep, otherwise you increase
your chance of hitting a submerged
object, which could result in injury.
@
CAUTION:@ Never operate in water that is less than
60 cm (2 ft) deep, otherwise pebbles or
sand could be sucked into the jet intake,
causing impeller damage or engine over-
heating.
