CAUTION:
ECJ00020
The Yamaha Security System and low-
RPM mode settings can only be selected
using the remote control transmitter. Ob-
serve the following precautions to protect
your remote control transmitter:

Store the remote control transmitter
carefully so it will not be lost. When op-
erating the watercraft, use the transmit-
ter holder in the glove compartment. If
you accidentally lose your remote con-
trol transmitter, contact a Yamaha deal-
er.

While the remote control transmitter has
been designed for use in wet environ-
ments, 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 transmit-
ter, 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.
