Never place your hands or fingers in front of the cartridge. This is especially important when loading and unloading the cartridge. Serious injury could result. When loading and unloading always hold the cartridge on the sides or top.
TASER cartridges are shipped with a shipping cover in place. Remove these covers before attempting to load a cartridge into an X26P CEW. See the Removing the Shipping Cover from the Cartridge section in this manual for more information.
Loading
- Point the CEW in a safe direction.
- Ensure that the safety switch is in the down (SAFE) position.
- Make sure the protective shipping cover is removed from the TASER cartridge.
- Keeping your hand away from the blast doors, place the cartridge (with the cartridge cover removed) into the front of the CEW until an audible click is heard.
- Verify that the cartridge is secure by pulling on the sides of the cartridge.
Unloading
- Point the CEW in a safe direction.
- Ensure that the safety switch is in the down (SAFE) position.
- Keeping your hand away from the blast doors, depress the tabs on the sides of the cartridge and remove.
The 15-, 21-, and 25-foot (4.6- , 6.4-, and 7.6-meter, respectively) TASER cartridges are specifically designed so there is no “up” or “down” position – enabling you to quickly reload one in a stressful situation without worrying about putting it in upside down.
