Semi-Automatic Mode
Depending on your agency’s settings, your X2 CEW will function in either the Semi-Automatic or Manual firing mode. The X2 CEW is programmed in Semi-Automatic mode when it leaves the factory. If your CEW is configured to function in the Manual mode, see the Manual Mode section in this manual.
Sequential trigger pulls can deploy a Smart cartridge. At the beginning of the event, the leftmost active cartridge is selected by default.
- Pull the trigger to deploy the selected cartridge.
The X2 CEW energizes the first cartridge. Releasing the trigger automatically selects the next cartridge while the first cartridge is deploying.
If you have engaged a target and contact is good, pressing and holding the ARC switch will apply energy to both cartridge bays but will not deploy an unexpended cartridge. This allows you to apply cycles to a continually resisting subject, if needed, without expending the remaining cartridge.
- Pull the trigger to deploy the second cartridge.
When both the first and second cartridges are energized each of the two firing bays will run for approximately 5 seconds on its own counter. If the second cartridge is deployed while the first cartridge is still energized, the first cartridge’s cycle will end before the second cartridge’s cycle ends. Therefore, to energize both cartridge bays, press the ARC switch. If the ARC switch is held down after the second cartridge's cycle ends, both cartridge bays will continue to cycle.
Note: If the probes from cartridge bay #1 are in subject A and the probes from cartridge bay #2 are in subject B, then pressing the ARC switch will energize both cartridge bays and both subject A and B will receive the effects of the CEW.
Shifting the safety switch to the down (SAFE) position stops the cycle for all cartridge bays.
Note: Do not pull the trigger and press the ARC switch simultaneously. The trigger will override the ARC switch.
Manual Mode
Depending on your agency’s settings, your X2 CEW will function in either the Semi-Automatic or Manual firing mode. If your CEW is configured to function in the Semi-Automatic mode, see the Semi-Automatic Mode section in this manual.
Note: The Semi-Automatic mode is the default method of operation. Manual mode can be configured only through EVIDENCE.com.
Trigger Functions
In Manual mode, after the first cartridge is deployed, pulling the trigger again will apply additional energy through the wires to the probes. Unlike with the Semi-Automatic mode, this will not deploy additional cartridges. It is recommended to always press and hold the ARC switch when you need to re-energize a deployed cartridge without expending the additional cartridge (in both Manual and Semi-Automatic mode).
After deploying a cartridge, you can press and release (quickly tap once) the ARC switch to select another cartridge to use. You do not have to wait for the cycle of the first cartridge to end before deploying a new cartridge.
