Important Instructions
Prior to setting up the system and starting your engine(s) make certain the
area around the propeller(s) is clear; AUTOTETHER
TM
will not prevent
drowning or being struck by a propeller.
When boating, always wear a Coast Guard approved personal flotation
device.
If the system is not installed properly it may not stop the boat’s engine(s)
as designed.
AUTOTETHER
TM
wireless lanyard is
only designed
to work with factory
installed, fully operational emergency stop (“kill”) switches. AUTOTETHER
TM
may not function properly if used with an aftermarket system or a
malfunctioning system.
Retain the Original Equipment kill switch clip on the vessel as a back-up
safety device.
Stopping the engine(s) may not stop the motion of the boat.
AUTOTETHER
TM
does not provide a means to re-enter the vessel from the
water.
The distance at which the signal is diminished may depend on obstructions,
other electromagnetic signals or other environmental conditions.
Do not shield or cover the Fob with wet clothing, your arm, leg or
another person or pets body, which may cause the Fob to act as if
underwater, resulting in sudden accidental stopping of the vessel.
If the Host case and/or gasket or the FOB case and/or gasket are
damaged, the system may not function properly. The Host and the FOBs
are water resistant to 3 feet (one meter) when the cases and gaskets are
intact and properly installed.
The Host unit and the FOBs
DO NOT
float.
Part of the AUTOTETHER
TM
warning system is an audible, high pitch alarm.
Hearing impaired individuals may not be able to hear the audio alarm.
When picking up a person from the water, always use Coast Guard
approved boating procedures and shut off the engine when the individual
is within swimming distance from your vessel.
