Digitally Encoded Security
System (DESS)
The safety lanyard cap specifically con-
tains an electronic circuit that gives it
a unique electronic serial number.
This safety lanyard can not be used on
another boat and conversely, the one
from another craft can not be used on
your craft.
However, the DESS brings a great flex-
ibility. You can buy additional safety
lanyard and have it programmed for
your craft. To have additional safety
lanyard programmed, refer to an au-
thorized Sea-Doo sport boat dealer.
If the engine is stopped with the start/
stop button while the safety lanyard re-
mains on the switch, it can be restart-
ed within approximately 10 minutes by
pressing the start/stop button. After
this delay, it is necessary to apply
slight pressure of the safety lanyard on
the switch. Two short beeps should
sound indicating the system is ready
again to allow engine starting.
