Drive-stun capability is available with or without a TASER cartridge installed. To apply a drive-stun,
place the safety in the up (ARMED) position and pull the trigger.
When using the drive-stun, push (drive) the front of the CEW firmly against the body of the subject.
Simply “touching” the CEW against the subject is not sufficient. The subject is likely to recoil and try to
get away from the CEW. It is necessary to aggressively drive the front of the CEW into the subject for
maximum effect.
Drive-stun mode is not designed to cause incapacitation and primarily becomes a pain compliance
option. Drive-stun is only effective while the CEW is in contact with the subject or when pushed against
the subject’s clothing. As soon as the CEW is moved away, the energy being delivered to the subject
stops.
If the probes are deployed, even at very close range, the user may drive-stun to another portion of the
body that is further away from the probes, thereby increasing the possibility of inducing incapacitation.
