Autotether™ Marine Lanyard-free Wireless Kill Switch –

Getting Started*

1. Locate a flat surface within 12 inches of your vessel’s emergency

stop (kill) switch.

2. Make sure the mounting area is clearly visible to the vessel operator

while at the helm

3. Before securing Dual Locks perform a LOCATION TEST

 Determine which motor clip you need and secure the clip onto the

actuator. You will hear it click in.

o The Autotether Marine comes supplied with a Mercury and Yamaha clip.

Autotether, LLC carries clips for all boat kill switches including OMC1,

OMC2, Honda, Suzuki and Mercury Side Mount. To order these

specialty clips – go to www.autotether.com

 Remove the original red cord lanyard on the kill switch

 Push the actuator clip at the end of the Host receiver unit onto the

compressed and locked. You will hear it click.

 Press the recessed ON/OFF button on each sensor; the light on

 Press the POWER button on the Host receiver unit. This will

automatically initiate a system check, a battery test and it will

search for the active Sensor(s).

each Sensor. Sensor LED 1,2,3,4 will only come on if a

corresponding sensor is turned on.

 After 3 minutes, the Reset light and the Sensor lights on the Host

receiver will go out.

 The Power light on Host receiver and the LED on the Sensor

will continue to flash every 4 seconds to indicate that the

system is operational

 While the vessel is stationary move around it to make sure the

system operates properly

 Move the Host receiver on the dashboard to a location that allows

for good operation

 Once the location test is completed and a location is determined,

wipe the surface dry and peel the backing off of the Dual Lock

strips and carefully position the Host receiver unit into place

o The Host receiver and Sensor(s) come pre-set from the factory for

normal operation; however they can be tuned for specific purposes. For

more details regarding Sensor programming, download the operator

manual from www.autotether.com.

 Press the RESET button on the Host receiver to silence the alarm

and re-engage the actuator clip on the stop (kill) switch

 Press the Host receiver POWER button to re-set the system

5. Repeat the system check for each Sensor
