The CEW can be configured to remain  powered after the safety switch is shifted to the down (SAFE) position, which allows the SPPM to finish the transmission of any pending status for the full 30 seconds. The CID will continue to display the SPPM icon and display a message “DO NOT REMOVE BATTERY.” If the safety switch is shifted to the up (ARMED) position while the device is still sending a Signal transmission, the 30-second timers for each status event will be restarted. Do not remove the SPPM from the CEW until the device has finished its Signal transmission and the CID goes blank. To enable the Transmit in Safe feature, the agency must configure the CEW through the Axon Evidence website. Enabling this setting will decrease expected battery lifetime firings.
