Control function operation
26
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 25 for
information on the remote control transmitter.)
TIP:
The Yamaha Security System settings can
only be selected while the engine is stopped.
EJU36106Yamaha 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 “SECURITY” indicator light of the multi-
function information center. (See page 33 for
information on the multifunction information
center.)
TIP:
●The beeper sounds two times for the nor-
mal operation mode or three times for the
Low RPM Mode. (See page 31 for Low
RPM Mode activation procedures.)
●If the remote control transmitter is operated
while the multifunction information center is
in the standby state, the center 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 “SECURITY” 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 “SECURI-
TY” indicator light blinks two or three times,
then comes on. This indicates the unlock
mode is selected.
