Autotether Wireless Lanyard
AUTOTETHER™ brings boating safety to a new level.
AUTOTETHER™ wireless lanyard system is an innovation in boating safety equipment that every boater should have! Unlike traditional lanyard kill switches that come standard with boats and require the operator to be tethered to the boat, the AUTOTETHER™ boating safety device is an unobtrusive wireless unit that clips right into the emergency stop switch (kill switch).
It operates via a radio transmitter in a personal sensor worn by a person or pet that sends radio waves to a receiver connected to the boat’s emergency stop switch. When the sensor is submerged in water, the signal between the transmitter and the receiver is instantly broken, because radio waves do not travel through water. AUTOTETHER™ activates the emergency stop switch which stops the boat’s motor. For added safety, should the operator or a passenger notice a potential danger, he or she can push the red alert button AUTOTETHER™ on the sensor to sound an alarm and stop the boat.
AUTOTETHER™ can accommodate a total of four wireless sensors – one for the boat operator and three for additional passengers, including children and pets. Any passenger wearing the sensor who falls overboard will signal the boat to stop with the sound of an alarm.
AUTOTETHER™ is easy to install. It clips right to the boat’s emergency stop switch (kill switch). The clip is connected via a short, coiled wire to a receiver that is mounted on the boat’s dashboard using 3M advanced dual lock strips. No wiring or tools are required. The system is self-powered via inexpensive AAA batteries, which are supplied with the kit. An indicator light on the transmitter illuminates when it is time to change the batteries. ( Battery life is dependent upon individual boater system usage.)
