Operation

Once your AUTOTETHER

system has been installed, turned on and

tested, it’s ready for operation. The following scenarios are provided to

give you an appreciation of the safety features provided by

AUTOTETHER

Scenario # 1 – You are alone on the boat and getting ready to get

underway. AUTOTETHER

is ON and you are the operator and wearing

your yellow FOB. The Host has registered the FOB, all system indicators

are flashing GREEN and the kill switch actuator clip is installed. The

engine is running as you move aft to pull up a fender. You trip and fall

overboard.

When the FOB you are wearing is submerged, the AUTOTETHER

alarm

sounds and the kill switch actuator is released, shutting the engine off.

You climb back onboard. Press the RESET button to silence the alarm.

Reconnect the kill switch clip and press the POWER button to re-initialize

the system and register your FOB.

Scenario # 2 – You are enjoying a day of boating with three

passengers. You are all wearing your AUTOTETHER

FOBs and the

system is flashing GREEN. One of your passengers falls overboard.

As soon as the AUTOTETHER

FOB is submerged the AUTOTETHER

alarm sounds and lights go steady red. You press the RESET button to

silence the alarm. You maneuver to pick up your passenger, who is

wearing a USCG approved flotation device.

While you are maneuvering to pick up your passenger you notice that

one of the FOB Signal LEDs is RED – it belongs to passenger who fell

overboard. Everyone else in the boat is still being monitored by

AUTOTETHER

. Pick up your overboard passenger and, once the

passenger is safely aboard, press the Host POWER button to re-initialize

the system and register all of the FOBs.

. NOTE

DO NOT press Host POWER button while passenger is in the water – wait until

passenger is safely recovered. If you press POWER button while passenger is in

the water, the overboard passenger’s FOB will be recognized, until it goes back

underwater, triggering the alarm
