CONTROLS/INSTRUMENTS/EQUIPMENTS
FUNCTIONS
1) DESS Post
(engine cut-off switch)
The DESS key should be securely
snapped onto its post to be fully oper-
ational.
Pulling the key from the DESS post
stops the engine operation.
WARNING
While engine can be stopped us-
ing the engine start/stop button,
good habits recommend that the
DESS key also be disconnected
when stopping.
Attach the safety lanyard to the oper-
ator's Personal Flotation Device (PFD)
and snap the key to the DESS post to
be able to start the engine.
Two short beeps indicates the sys-
tem is ready to allow engine start-
ing. Otherwise, refer to the TROU-
BLESHOOTING section for the MON-
ITORING SYSTEM CODED SIGNALS
chart.
TYPICAL
1. Key on the DESS post
2. Safety lanyard secured on operator's PFD
Should the engine be stopped,
watercraft directional control is re-
duced. Always disconnect DESS
key when watercraft is not in oper-
ation in order to prevent accidental
engine starting or to avoid unau-
thorized use by children or others
or theft.
If engine is not started within 5 sec-
onds after installing the DESS key on
its post, 4 very short beeps every 3
second interval will sound for approxi-
mately 4 hours to remind you to start
the engine or to remove the DESS key.
Afterwards, the beeps will stop. The
same will occur when the DESS key is
left on its post 5 seconds after engine
is stopped.
Always ensure the DESS key is not left
on its post after engine is stopped.
IMPORTANT: Leaving the DESS key
on its post when engine is not running
will slowly discharge the battery.
Digitally Encoded Security
System (DESS)
The DESS key specifically contains an
electronic circuit that gives it a unique
electronic serial number. This is the
equivalent of a conventional key.
This DESS key cannot be used on an-
other watercraft and conversely, the
one from another watercraft cannot be
used on your watercraft.
However, the DESS brings a great flex-
ibility. You can buy an additional DESS
key and have it programmed for your
watercraft.
To have additional DESS keys, refer to
an authorized Sea-Doo dealer.
