TASER X2 Energy Weapon User Manual
Use of force policy
Each agency is responsible for creating its own use-of-force policy and determining how TASER energy weapons fit into their use-of-force matrix based on legal and community standards. Make sure your agency has a use-of-force policy that addresses TASER energy weapon use and that this policy is clearly addressed during end-user training.
Firmware update
Before using your X2 energy weapon, confirm with your armorer or other qualified person that the X2 firmware has been updated.
Chapter 1: Warnings 3

Chapter 2: General information
What is the X2 Energy Weapon?
The TASER X2 energy weapon is a firmware upgradable, two-shot weapon manufactured by Axon Enterprise, Inc. The X2 energy weapon uses two replaceable Smart Cartridges containing compressed nitrogen to deploy two small probes that are attached to the X2 energy weapon by insulated conductive wires. The X2 energy weapon transmits electrical pulses along the wires and into the body which are designed to affect the sensory and motor functions of the peripheral nervous system and cause involuntary muscle contractions. The cartridges are available with various wire lengths from 15 feet to 35 feet (4.6 meters to 10.7 meters). The X2 energy weapon deploys the cartridges one at a time. It is possible to apply energy beyond the initial burst to a deployed cartridge without deploying the remaining cartridge. It also is possible to apply a Warning Arc display or drive-stun without deploying any of the cartridges loaded in the energy weapon. The X2 energy weapon has an internal memory that stores the operating firmware and a record of every deployment. See Trilogy Log (Chapter 5) for more details. The X2 energy weapon’s Trilogy log can be downloaded to Axon Evidence (Evidence.com) services. Those who do not have an Axon Evidence account can use Offline Evidence Sync software to download a simplified log to a local computer. The X2 energy weapon has an estimated useful life of five years.
Neuro Muscular Incapacitation (NMI)
TASER technology is designed to use electrical impulses similar to those in your body’s nervous system to cause stimulation of the sensory and motor nerves. Neuro Muscular Incapacitation (NMI) occurs
4

TASER X2 Energy Weapon User Manual
when an energy weapon is able to cause involuntary stimulation of both the sensory nerves and the motor nerves. It is not dependent on pain and can be effective on subjects with a high level of pain tolerance. Previous generations of stun guns primarily affected the sensory nerves only, resulting in pain compliance. A subject with a very high tolerance to pain (e.g., a drug abuser, person in serious psychological distress, or a trained, focused fighter) might not be affected by the pain or might be able to fight through the pain of a traditional stun gun.
Basic X2 Energy Weapon Electrical Theory
· Electricity must be able to flow between the probes or the electrodes to deliver an electrical charge and will generally follow the path of least resistance.
· The greater the spread between the probes on the target, generally the greater the effectiveness. · Electricity will generally not pass to others in contact with the subject unless contact is made directly
between or on the probes, or the wires are touched. · Electricity can arc through most clothing, and even some bullet-resistant materials. · Exposure to water will not increase the power to the subject. The delivered electrical charge is
fixed inside the TASER energy weapon, and will not increase significantly even with environmental changes. · The X2 energy weapon’s Rotational-Pulse Drive technology rotates discharges across the two cartridge bays. This alternation of pulsed output across multiple cartridges allows a single X2 energy weapon to affect up to two subjects simultaneously but was primarily designed to give the operator an immediate back up shot in case of a miss. · The Rotational Pulse Drive technology supports cross connection, or X-Connect technology, which can make the X2 energy weapon effective even if some probes do not hit the target. As long as one top probe and one bottom probe hit the subject, the circuit can be completed, even if the probes were deployed from different cartridges. · The Current Metering technology is designed to deliver optimal output.

TASER X2 Energy Weapon User Manual · Do not block the safety on one side of the X2 energy weapon while attempting to move it on the
other side. This can break the safety and disable the energy weapon. · If the X2 energy weapon’s safety switch is left in the up (ARMED) position for more than 20 minutes,
the system goes into low power mode to reduce the amount of power consumed, and the energy weapon will not fire. Although the energy weapon will not fire, power is still consumed and will eventually drain the battery if the safety switch remains in the ARMED position. To re-arm the energy weapon, shift the safety to the down (SAFE) position, and then shift it back to the up (ARMED) position.
Index Finger Rest
On each side of the X2 energy weapon is an ergonomically designed rest upon which to place the tip of your index finger when you are not pulling the trigger switch or pressing the ARC switch.
Index Finger Rest
Arc display/Re-energize/Cartridge advance (ARC) Switch
The ARC switch is used to employ a Warning Arc display, select cartridges, and select menu items during system configuration and option selection. ARC switch functions are described in Arc display/ Re-energize/Cartridge advance (ARC) Switch Functions and Configuring the X2 Energy Weapon and Viewing the System Status.
Performance Power Magazine (PPM) Battery Pack
The Performance Power Magazine is a lithium energy cell power supply system for the X2 energy weapon.
Chapter 3: X2 Energy Weapon Features 7

TASER X2 Energy Weapon User Manual
Note: X2 battery packs will not work with the TASER 7, X3, or X26 energy weapons. Battery packs designed for the X26P energy weapon will work in the X2 energy weapon.
Battery packs should be stored in their original packaging, including the desiccant bag, until they are to be used. Do not store the PPM anywhere that the gold contacts on the top of the PPM may touch metal objects. If you cause an electrical short between these contacts, the short will drain the lithium energy cells and may cause the pack itself to become dangerously hot. The PPM battery has enough power for approximately 500 five-second trigger-initiated discharges or 250 five-second ARC switch-initiated discharges, depending on temperature, environment, use of the flashlight, and other factors. The PPM battery will deplete faster in colder weather than warm weather. Likewise, the battery will deplete faster with the flashlight active. For more information on installing the PPM, see Changing the PPM (or Other Battery Pack). Note: Other battery pack options are available for the X2 energy weapon. See Tactical Performance
Power Magazine (TPPM) Battery Pack, Automatic Shut-Down Performance Power Magazine (APPM) Battery Pack, and Signal Performance Power Magazine (SPPM) Battery Pack (Model T00074) for more information.
Changing the PPM (or Other Battery Pack)
1 Point the energy weapon in a safe direction. 2 Shift the safety switch to the down (SAFE) position. 3 Safely remove the Smart Cartridges. See Unloading (Chapter 4) for more information. 4 To remove the PPM, depress the PPM release button and remove the PPM from the handle of
the energy weapon.
Release Button
5 Inspect the battery contacts. Ensure that they appear in working order and are free from dirt or other residue that may interrupt the battery connection to the energy weapon.
6 Install the new PPM and ensure that it is fully inserted into the X2 energy weapon. Apply sufficient force to ensure the PPM is fully seated. When the PPM battery pack seats properly, the PPM release button should pop out from the recessed position with an audible click.

TASER X2 Energy Weapon User Manual
Tactical Performance Power Magazine (TPPM) Battery Pack
The optional TPPM has an extension to provide a larger grip on the energy weapon. The TPPM does not hold an extra cartridge.
Automatic Shut-Down Performance Power Magazine (APPM) Battery Pack
The optional APPM is a modified battery pack that shuts down the output of the X2 energy weapon after five seconds and also contains a built-in speaker that alerts you to the impending shut down. The APPM icon will be displayed in the top left corner of the CID when the energy weapon detects that an APPM is installed. Under stressful situations, audio exclusion might prevent you from hearing the alert from the APPM. There are two ways your agency can configure your energy weapon to work with the APPM. With the default option, shut down will occur five seconds after a trigger-initiated energy burst, but ARC switch functioning will not be affected. With the other option, shut down will occur after five seconds whether you press the trigger or the ARC switch. To use the second option, the agency must configure the energy weapon through Axon Evidence.
Trigger-Initiated Shut-Down Only Option ­ ARC Switch Override
The APPM provides an audible beeping alert for the last two seconds of a trigger-initiated cycle before automatically shutting down the cycle. After a 5-second deployment duration, the energy burst will stop even if your finger is still pulling the trigger switch. The audible beeping alert will continue to sound until the trigger switch is released. To re-energize the deployed cartridge, first ensure that your finger is off the trigger switch, and then press the ARC switch.
With the APPM’s ARC switch override option, pressing the ARC switch before the 5-second, trigger-initiated cycle has ended and holding the ARC switch will cause the cycle to continue past the 5-second limit.
Chapter 3: X2 Energy Weapon Features 9

TASER X2 Energy Weapon User Manual
Trigger- and ARC Switch-Initiated Shut-Down Option ­ Hard Stop
The APPM provides an audible beeping alert for the last two seconds of a trigger- or ARC switchinitiated cycle before automatically shutting down the cycle. After a 5-second deployment duration, the energy burst will stop even if your finger is still pulling the trigger switch or pressing on the ARC switch. The audible beeping alert will continue to sound until the trigger switch or ARC switch is released. To reenergize the deployed cartridge, first ensure that your finger is off the trigger switch, and then press the ARC switch. To reenergize the ARC switch, remove your finger from the ARC switch and re-press the ARC switch.
Replacing the APPM with a Different Battery Pack
Your energy weapon will recognize the APPM as a unique type of battery pack. If you remove the APPM and replace it with a different type of battery pack, the X2 energy weapon will return to its normal configuration. That is, there will no longer be an audio alert, and the energy cycle will continue after five seconds if your finger is still holding down the trigger or ARC switch. Always confirm that the energy weapon performs as expected before returning it to duty after changing any battery pack.
Remove the cartridges before testing the energy weapon function. See Unloading (Chapter 4) for more information.
Signal Performance Power Magazine (SPPM) Battery Pack (Model T00074)
The optional Signal Performance Power Magazine (SPPM) is a battery pack designed to work with devices that are equipped with Axon Signal technology.
When an X2 is equipped with an SPPM battery pack, shifting the energy weapon’s safety switch to the up (ARMED) position causes the SPPM to send a signal. Upon receipt of this signal, a compatible device can perform a programmed response.

Note: Your energy weapon must have firmware version 4.032 or greater to make use of the SPPM’s special features. Without the firmware update, the SPPM only functions as a battery pack like the PPM. Evidence Sync version 3.15.30 or greater is required to configure the SPPM. See the Evidence Sync User Manual for more information on firmware updates.
The SPPM transmission begins after the safety switch is shifted to the up (ARMED) position. The signal has a range of up to 30 feet (9.1 meters) line- of-sight.
The SPPM icon will be displayed in the top left corner of the CID when the SPPM has started transmitting the energy weapon status (see the table below).
These are the types of information the SPPM transmission sends:

Event ARMED event

Description The safety switch was shifted to the up (ARMED) position.

Chapter 3: X2 Energy Weapon Features 10

TASER X2 Energy Weapon User Manual

Event ARMED + 10 seconds
Trigger event on bay 1 Trigger event on bay 2 ARC event Signal Mute Mode

Description Ten seconds have elapsed since the safety switch was shifted to the up (ARMED) position. The trigger was pressed with cartridge bay 1 selected. The trigger was pressed with cartridge bay 2 selected. An ARC switch was pressed long enough to initiate a spark. Signal Mute Mode has been activated by the user.

Automatic Shut-Down Option

The SPPM can enable the automatic shut-down feature when used with an energy weapon. The X2 will function the same way as if it were equipped with the APPM battery pack. See Automatic Shut-Down Performance Power Magazine (APPM) Battery Pack for more information. To enable the automatic shutdown feature, the agency must configure the energy weapon through Axon Evidence.

Continued SPPM Transmit in Safe Option

The X2 energy weapon can be configured to remain powered after the safety switch is placed in 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 placed in 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 energy weapon 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 energy weapon through the Axon Evidence website. Enabling this setting will decrease expected battery lifetime firings.

Signal Mute Mode

If your energy weapon is equipped with an SPPM battery back, Signal Mute Mode can be enabled to NOT alert Axon cameras to record. This may be useful when performing a function test. See ARC Switch-Initiated Function test and Trigger-Initiated Function Test (Chapter 5) for more information. Mute Mode is enabled by the user when the energy weapon is in configuration mode; see Enabling SPPM Signal Mute Mode. The device will return to normal operation after the safety switch is placed in the down (SAFE) position. Any pending 30-second transmissions will be discontinued.

Updating the SPPM Firmware

To update the SPPM firmware, the device must be connected to a TASER central device over the air (OTA). The energy weapon sends a command to the SPPM to start a transmission for this connection when the energy weapon is in configuration mode. With the safety switch in the down (SAFE) position, press the selector switch on the top of the X2 energy weapon. See Configuring the X2 Energy Weapon and Viewing the System Status for more information. After a connection with a central device has been established, the CID will change to display the SPPM battery icon and a message “DO NOT REMOVE BATTERY.” Once the connection to the central device has ended, the energy weapon will return to the standard selector mode menu or the energy weapon will exit configuration mode.

use. Failure to heed the system status icons could cause serious injury or death.
All faults are recorded in the X2 energy weapon’s Engineering log.
Major Fault indication. A yellow triangle in the upper-right side of the CID indicates that the logging, date and time functions, or ability of the energy weapon to read the PPM information are not working properly. The energy weapon will still produce an electrical output (e.g., the energy weapon should still arc and deploy cartridges), but the accountability functions are compromised.
Shift the safety switch to the down (SAFE) position and then to the up (ARMED) position; the fault may clear.
Whether the fault clears or not, it will be recorded in the Engineering log. If the fault does not clear, do NOT attempt to use the energy weapon. The energy weapon may need to be repaired or replaced. See Product Returns (Chapter 5) for instructions.
Critical Fault Indication. A yellow stop sign in the upper-right side of the CID indicates a system failure.
Critical faults are rare. Do NOT attempt to use the energy weapon. The energy weapon may need to be repaired or replaced. See Product Returns (Chapter 5) for instructions.
Note: If a fault icon appears in the position normally associated with the cartridge status icon, this indicates a fault with a cartridge and not a critical energy weapon fault. Replace the cartridge and see if the icon goes away. See Unloading (Chapter 4) for instructions on loading and unloading Smart Cartridges from an X2 energy weapon.
Invalid Battery Pack. If you see a blinking exclamation point and battery icon, this indicates that the energy weapon did not recognize the battery correctly. Remove the battery pack and reinsert it. If the error is still present, try another battery pack. If the icon still displays, the energy weapon should be serviced. See Product Returns (Chapter 5) for instructions.

At 15 feet (4.6 m), the bottom LASER is aligned to the approximate trajectory of a 25-foot (7.6 m) cartridge’s bottom probe. The bottom LASER only appears when the selected bay contains a live cartridge or a resettable training cartridge. The bottom LASER is not aligned to the trajectory of a 35-foot (10.7 m) cartridge. The X2 energy weapon can be configured to disable the bottom LASER when a 35-foot cartridge is selected in the energy weapon. To change the 35-foot LASER settings, the agency must configure the energy weapon through Axon Evidence services.

Selector Switch
With the safety switch in the down (SAFE) position, press the selector switch on the top of the X2 energy weapon to configure the system. See Configuring the X2 Energy Weapon and Viewing the System Status for more information. The selector switch is slightly recessed to ensure that it is not pressed unintentionally during normal operations. Pressing the selector switch when the safety is in the up (ARMED) position puts the X2 energy weapon in stealth mode–the flashlight and LASER are turned off and the CID will dim. Pressing and releasing the switch a second time will restore the energy weapon’s configured illumination settings. Notes: · The stealth mode cannot activate features that were turned off during energy weapon configuration.
If the X2 energy weapon is configured to not use its flashlight or LASERs, the stealth mode will not turn them on. · Using pens or paper clips to attempt to press the selector switch may damage it. Only use your finger to press the selector switch.
Trigger Switch
Unlike a firearm trigger, the X2 energy weapon trigger switch is a momentary electrical switch. The trigger is operational only when the safety is in the up (ARMED) position. Pulling and releasing the trigger switch will deploy the first selected active cartridge and result in an approximately 5-second discharge cycle unless the safety is shifted to the down (SAFE) position to discontinue the 5-second cycle. Pulling and holding the trigger switch for more than five seconds will result in a continuous discharge until the trigger switch is released, the safety is shifted downward, or the battery is depleted–whichever happens first. An X2 energy weapon equipped with the APPM battery pack is limited to 5-second discharges and emits an audio alert two seconds before the end of the cycle. See Automatic Shut-Down Performance Power Magazine (APPM) Battery Pack for more information. An X2 energy weapon equipped with an SPPM can be configured to enable the energy weapon’s automatic shutdown feature. See Signal Performance Power Magazine (SPPM) Battery Pack (Model T00074) for more information. In the event of an accidental discharge, immediately shift the safety switch to the down (SAFE) position to stop the discharge cycle.

When both the first and second cartridges are energized each of the two firing bays will run for approximately five 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 energy weapon. 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 energy weapon will function in either the Semi-Automatic or Manual firing mode. If your energy weapon is configured to function in the Semi-Automatic mode, see Semi-Automatic Mode. Note: The Semi-Automatic mode is the default method of operation. Manual mode can be configured
only through Axon Evidence services.
Arc display/Re-energize/Cartridge advance (ARC) Switch Functions
The trigger and ARC switch work differently in the Manual mode than they do in the Semi-Automatic mode. In Manual mode, pulling the trigger does not advance cartridge selection. Instead, the ambidextrous ARC switch is used to select the Smart Cartridges. By default, the left cartridge (or the first available cartridge, from left to right) is selected automatically. (This is the left side from your perspective, while pointing the energy weapon.) Pulling the trigger deploys the left cartridge. Pressing and releasing (quickly tapping once) the ARC switch selects the next available cartridge. An additional trigger pull is required to deploy the next selected cartridge. When a live cartridge is still available, the energy weapon will not select a deployed cartridge. A sustained press of the ARC switch for approximately ½ second or more energizes the front of the cartridges without deploying (discharging) them. See Warning Arc Display (Chapter 4) for more information. If you have already deployed cartridges, pressing the ARC switch and holding it down
Chapter 3: X2 Energy Weapon Features 21

supplies energy to the deployed cartridges without deploying any un-discharged cartridges.
If you have engaged a target with the first cartridge and contact is good, you can apply additional cycles to a continually resisting subject, if needed, without deploying the remaining cartridge. Holding the ARC switch down continually will arc the energy weapon until the ARC switch is released or the PPM is depleted, whichever happens first.
Because the ARC switch is ambidextrous, you can press from either side as you hold the energy weapon in a 2-handed grip.
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.

Because both the first and second cartridges are energized each of the two firing bays will run for approximately five 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

X2 Smart Cartridge Characteristics
The X2 energy weapon is designed to work with Smart Cartridges manufactured by Axon Enterprise, Inc. Do not use cartridges made by other companies with an X2 energy weapon. Smart Cartridges are distinguished by range and purpose: · Live cartridges are designed for self-defense and public safety. · Simulation cartridges are designed for use with training suits that protect the wearer from probe
impact. · Inert resettable simulator cartridges are designed for function tests and training scenarios that
require pulling the trigger without deploying cartridges. Chapter 4: Cartridges and Energy Weapon Operation 30

TASER X2 Energy Weapon User Manual
Standard-Range (15-foot/4.6-meter and 25-foot/7.6-meter) Smart Cartridges
A 15-foot cartridge is identified by yellow blast doors. A 25-foot cartridge has black blast doors.

When using the 35-foot Smart Cartridge, be aware that the top probe may hit above the LASER. Adjust your aim to avoid hitting sensitive areas.
The 35-Foot Smart Cartridges are no longer manufactured.
Simulation Smart Cartridges
Simulation Smart Cartridges use specialized probes for use with a person wearing training suit in roleplaying training scenarios. There are two types of simulation Smart Cartridges, designed for two types of training suits.
A Smart Cartridge with blue blast doors has probes designed for use with the TASER Simulation Suit. These probes have shortened darts to minimize the likelihood of penetrating the suit.
A Smart Cartridge with purple blast doors has probes designed for use with the Hook and Loop Training (HALT) Suit. These probes use hook and loop fastener technology to stick to the suit.
Do not use Smart Cartridges with blue blast doors against a person wearing the HALT suit.
Inert Resettable Simulator Cartridges
Inert resettable simulator Smart Cartridges are identifiable by their red or clear blast doors. They do not contain probes and do not deploy when the trigger is pulled. After the trigger is pulled, the CID displays a deployed cartridge icon. If you shift the safety switch to the down (SAFE) position and then the up (ARMED) position, the CID displays an un-deployed training cartridge icon again. It may take 30 seconds for the device to reset and display an un-deployed cartridge.
When an inert resettable simulator Smart Cartridge with red blast doors is loaded in an X2 energy weapon, the CID displays a training cartridge icon for the cartridge bay in which this type of cartridge is loaded. When an inert resettable simulator Smart Cartridge with clear blast doors is loaded in an

X2 energy weapon, the CID displays a standard cartridge icon for the cartridge bay in which this type of cartridge is loaded. Inert resettable simulator cartridges are intended for training scenarios that do not require probe deployment, and conducting trigger function tests. See Trigger-Initiated Function Test (Chapter 5) for more information.
Smart Cartridges General Instructions
Never attempt to open or modify a Smart Cartridge. Tampering with a Smart Cartridge could cause it to fire or malfunction (which may result in serious injury). Remove the Smart Cartridge from the X2 energy weapon before inspection. Before installing and using a Smart Cartridge, inspect the blast doors for cracks. The inspection should include checking the break seam running down the center and both sides of the front of the blast door. If the blast doors are cracked, remove the Smart Cartridge from service. Also, inspect the Arc deflector metalized labels. Over time, the labels may show signs of wear. This is normal. If the labels have worn away completely or fallen off, remove the Smart Cartridge from service.
Arc Deflector Metalized Label
Arc Deflector Metalized Label
The X2 energy weapon can determine whether the Smart Cartridges loaded in the cartridge bays have been expended or not. The energy weapon also can determine whether all the cartridge bays are loaded or not. This means the energy weapon will not select an empty bay or an expended cartridge when a live cartridge is available. Cartridge status is displayed on the CID.
Empty Cartridge Bay/Loaded

AFID
Every time a Smart Cartridge is deployed, approximately 20­30 small confetti- like Anti-Felon Identification (AFID) tags are ejected. Cartridges can be assigned to individual users, as each is serialized. Each AFID tag is printed with the corresponding serial number of the cartridge, allowing determination of which user deployed the particular cartridge.

Load the Smart Cartridges
Never place your hands, fingers or other body part 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. Smart Cartridges are shipped with a shipping cover in place. Remove these covers before attempting to load a cartridge into an X2 energy weapon. See Remove the Shipping Cover from the Smart Cartridge for more information.
Always treat your X2 energy weapon as if it were loaded. Also, be aware that it is more difficult to tell whether an X2 energy weapon is loaded than it is with previous-generation TASER energy weapons. Unloaded X2 energy weapon viewed at an angle:

Selecting Cartridges
By default, the leftmost (when the front of the energy weapon is facing away from the user) live cartridge is selected. You can use the ARC switch to designate which cartridge you want to use. You do not have to deploy the left cartridge first. For example, you can load Smart Cartridges of different ranges into the energy weapon. You might load one 25-foot (7.6 m) cartridge into the left bay and one 35-foot (10.7-meter) cartridge into the right bay. As shown in the CID below, if the subject is between 25 and 35 feet away, quickly press and release (tap) the ARC switch to select the 35-foot cartridge.

ARC Switch
Pressing and releasing the ARC switch quickly selects the second cartridge.

Aiming and Probe Placement

Level

Tilted

For most deployments, hold the energy weapon level. Tilt the energy weapon when necessary to align the probes with the target.
All TASER energy weapon deployments should be in accordance with current TASER training and warnings, and department training, policies, and procedures.
When possible, aim the LASER at the preferred target areas of the body, which are the lower torso and legs when the subject is facing you, or the subject’s back if the subject is turned away from you.
Chapter 4: Cartridges and Energy Weapon Operation 37

TASER X2 Energy Weapon User Manual
When possible, avoid intentionally targeting the energy weapon on sensitive areas of the body such as the head, eyes, throat, chest/breast, groin, or known pre-existing injury areas without legal justification.
The top probe is designed to impact the target near the top LASER beam but exact placement can vary depending on numerous factors, including, but not limited to the distance, type of cartridge, and environmental factors.
If both the upper and lower LASERs are active, you should be able to estimate where each probe will hit.
Note: The LASERs are designed to coincide with the top and bottom probes of a 15- or 25-foot (4.6 m or 7.6 m) Smart Cartridge at 15 feet. Thus, if your target is 15 feet away, and your energy weapon is loaded with a 25foot Smart Cartridge, the probes will strike the target approximately where the LASERs are projected. If the energy weapon is being held perfectly vertical, the top and bottom LASERs should be vertically aligned. If you are significantly closer or further than 15 feet to the target, the LASERs will appear to be out of alignment. This is because the two LASERs are located almost one inch apart sideby-side on the energy weapon and zeroed to 15 feet.
If a single cartridge is deployed and an electrical circuit is completed and maintained, the energy weapon will be relatively quiet. Multiple cartridge deployments and Warning Arc displays are likely to make more noise.
Audible Pulse Rate Changes
The energy weapon normally arcs at an average rate of 19 pulses per second (PPS). To improve the service life of the energy weapon and battery life, firmware version 4.029 allows the PPS rate to drop to approximately 9 PPS when there is no connection (e.g., a single probe hit, clothing disconnect, etc.). Thus, firing probes into a non-conductive target will likely cause this PPS reduction to occur. Upon detecting a closed circuit, the PPS will immediately return to 19 PPS. This change in PPS does not affect daily functionality checks, drive-stuns, or effective probe deployments.
Potential Causes of Reduced or No Effectiveness
· Loose or thick clothing. If the probes lodge in clothing and are too far away from the subject, energy weapon effectiveness may be reduced.
· Miss or single probe hit. The electrical current must pass between a positive probe and a negative one (top and bottom probe). If one probe misses, the energy weapons will not be effective.
Chapter 4: Cartridges and Energy Weapon Operation 38

TASER X2 Energy Weapon User Manual · Low nerve or muscle mass. If the probes impact in an area where there is very little muscle mass
(e.g., the side of the rib cage), the effectiveness may be reduced. · Limited probe spread. Probe spreads of less than 12 inches/30 cm (including drive- stun) may result
in reduced energy weapon effectiveness. · Wires Break. If a wire breaks (e.g., during a struggle), the current will not flow to the probes and the
energy weapon will not be effective. In any of the above scenarios, a second cartridge may be deployed or a drive-stun follow up may be used if practical, justified, and within your agency’s policy. Do not become over-dependent on the TASER energy weapon. No force option, including energy weapons, is 100% effective in every situation. Do not deploy the energy weapon without following your department policies and procedures.
Warning Arc Display
With the safety in the up (ARMED) position, pressing and holding the ARC switch displays a Warning Arc discharge across the front of the X2 energy weapon. With a Warning Arc display, the user may deter a subject without having to use actual force. Unlike with the M26, X26, and X26P energy weapons, a Warning Arc can be accomplished without removing the live cartridges. Pressing the ARC switch does not deploy the Smart Cartridges even if the X2 energy weapon is loaded.
Note: Pressing the ARC switch for a half-second or less will advance cartridge selection to the right. A sustained ARC switch press (greater than half a second) will not advance the cartridge selection.
Use the ARC switch, not the trigger switch, to employ the Warning Arc display. Pulling the trigger switch will deploy a loaded cartridge.
Chapter 4: Cartridges and Energy Weapon Operation 39

TASER X2 Energy Weapon User Manual
Electrodes
The front of the X2 energy weapon has four metal electrodes. The electrodes provide the ability to use the X2 energy weapon in a “drive-stun” mode as a traditional stun gun-type energy weapon.
Electrodes
Electrodes
Drive-Stun Backup
Drive-stun capability is available with the X2 energy weapon. To apply a drive-stun, place the safety in the up (ARMED) position and press the ARC switch, just as you would to employ a Warning Arc display. When you use the ARC switch, energy will spark across all the electrodes or arc deflector metalized labels without deploying the cartridges. When using the drive-stun, push (drive) the front of the energy weapon firmly against the body of the subject. Simply “touching” the energy weapon against the subject is not sufficient. The subject is likely to recoil and try to get away from the energy weapon. It is necessary to aggressively drive the front of the energy weapon 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 energy weapon’s electrodes are in direct contact with the subject or when pushed against the subject’s clothing. As soon as the energy weapon 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.
Chapter 4: Cartridges and Energy Weapon Operation 40

TASER X2 Energy Weapon User Manual
Recommended Drive-Stun Areas for Maximum Effect
Use the energy weapon pursuant to your agency’s policies and procedures. For maximum effectiveness, drive the X2 energy weapon into the highlighted green areas as outlined below:
Suggested pressure points are highlighted in the green areas. Use care when applying the drive stun to the neck or groin (yellow areas ­ users should only target these areas when they are defending themselves against a violent attacker). Stay away from the trachea and back of the neck. The trachea is soft tissue and could easily be crushed. The cervical portion of the spine is very sensitive to pressure. Also, care should be taken when applying a drive stun to the pelvic triangle to avoid the possibility of crushing the testicles. Refer and adhere to your department’s policy and training regarding drive-stuns in these and other sensitive areas.

ARC Switch-Initiated Function test
Axon Enterprise recommends conducting a function test prior to the start of your shift. The function test is done to verify that the energy weapon’s core electronics are working properly. To test the trigger, see Trigger-Initiated Function Test. An X2 energy weapon can be function tested with the cartridges loaded. In fact, it is recommended you perform the test with cartridges installed to reduce stress on the energy weapon’s components. To perform a function test:
1 Point the energy weapon in a safe direction. 2 Place the top rail of the X2 energy weapon in the palm of your secondary hand so you can grip
the top rail and your thumb can reach the ARC switch, while the remainder of your secondary hand and fingers are away from the front of the energy weapon. 3 Shift the safety switch to the up (ARMED) position. Keep all fingers away from the trigger and keep the energy weapon pointed in a safe direction. While performing a spark test, DO NOT touch the trigger at any time. 4 Press and hold the ARC switch for five seconds. Verify the arc rides across the face of all loaded cartridges between the arc deflector metalized labels. Use the ARC switch, not the trigger, to perform a spark test. Pulling the trigger switch will deploy a loaded, unfired cartridge. View the arc from the top or side of the energy weapon. Do not point the energy weapon at your face or have it near your face. Look at the CID display and verify the following: · No critical or major fault icons display on the upper-right corner of the CID. · The cartridge information matches the cartridges inserted in the X2 firing bays. · LO BATT is not displaying on the CID. If any of the above verifications fail, return the unit to your agency’s energy weapon technician for service. 5 Shift the safety switch to the down (SAFE) position.

What to Do Following Energy Weapon Use
Considerations for Handling Used Probes
Each agency will establish its own procedure for probe removal, collection, biohazards, evidence collection and maintenance. Treat probes that have penetrated the body as contaminated needles
Chapter 5: Maintenance/Troubleshooting 43

TASER X2 Energy Weapon User Manual
(biohazard). Remember, however, that the probes may also be valuable evidence. If the probes must be removed from the subject, follow all department policies and procedures, including for handling biohazards. Below are suggested methods for probe removal. · Grab the probe firmly and quickly pull it straight out. Do not twist the probe as the barbed tip may
cause additional injury. · If the probes are not going to be collected and maintained for evidence, carefully place used probes
sharp-tip first into a sharps container, secure in place, and place in a secure location where no one will accidentally touch the probes. · Once the subject is restrained, prior to removing the probes, evaluate the need for medical attention as you would with any other use-of-force incident. · Take photos of any injuries, place the photos into evidence. · Collect the expended cartridge, probes, and AFIDs and place them into evidence. As directed by department policy. The TASER training materials provide additional information on forensic evidence collection procedures. The probes, wires AFIDs, and cartridge can yield important forensic evidence if properly collected, maintained, and analyzed.
Effects on Animals
TASER energy weapons can be an effective option for dealing with aggressive animals and have generally been successful in deployments. Note: If a probe deployment completed circuit is initiated and maintained, the aggressive animals are
usually incapacitated/stunned momentarily in deployments, but recover quickly. Typically, the animals left the scene and broke the wires. If deployed on a domestic animal, consider having animal control available to restrain the animal.
Police/Military K-9 Caution
Energy weapon operators and K-9 officers must work closely together to develop policies and procedures for deploying the energy weapon when a K-9 is present. If a K-9 bites a probe or the wires or bites the suspect between the probes, or touches the cartridge wires, the K-9 could receive a shock. This could have a significant negative impact on the future duty use of the K-9.
Downloading Firmware Revisions
The X2 energy weapon internal firmware provides functionality for all aspects of the energy weapon. The firmware can be upgraded to the most recent version by using an X26P/X2 energy weapon Dataport Download Kit and Evidence Sync software (Online or Offline). Do not remove the USB cable or press the reset button on the dataport USB pack during the reprogramming cycle.
Dataport Download Kit
Optional download kits are available to permit departments to access the encrypted deployment information in the X2 energy weapon memory through the Axon Evidence services or the Sync Offline or Online Client software.
Chapter 5: Maintenance/Troubleshooting 44

TASER X2 Energy Weapon User Manual
Note: If you have a TASER CAM HD recorder, please see the TASER CAM HD Operating Manual and the Evidence Sync User Manual for downloading instructions.
The X2 energy weapon uses a USB adapter to connect to any Windows 7 or Windows 10 computer. The simplicity of USB makes using the dataport download kit an easy, fast process. The cable connects to the energy weapon through the battery compartment.
USB Connection Status
The USB icon will flash on the CID when the energy weapon is searching for the Evidence Sync client software. The icon will display solid when the energy weapon is connected to the software.
Evidence Sync Offline Software
If you do not have an Axon Evidence account, the Evidence Sync software can be used in the Offline mode to download the simplified Event log to your local computer and print it. The Evidence Sync Offline software will not enable you to view the full Trilogy log. Evidence Sync Offline will not allow you to: · Enable ARC switch override · Enable hard stop · Disable the SPPM automatic shut-down · Set the operating mode (manual or semiautomatic) · Enable or disable signal transmission in safe · Set the LASER for 35-foot (10.7 m) cartridges · Enable sharing of the engineering logs with Axon
Trilogy Log
The X2 energy weapon captures various pieces of information about the device ­ this is referred to as the Trilogy log: · Event log · Pulse log · Engineering log The data set from the Trilogy log is uploaded securely to Axon Evidence services, where the information is encrypted, stored securely, and organized into dashboards that allow your agency to easily monitor the usage and system status of your entire arsenal of X2 energy weapons. Upon upload to Axon Evidence services, the system displays the information from the Event and Pulse logs. Your type of Axon Evidence account will determine what data can be viewed from these logs.
Event Log
The Event log tracks events and may help protect a user from claims of excessive force by providing Chapter 5: Maintenance/Troubleshooting 45

TASER X2 Energy Weapon User Manual
documentation of the time and date for each energy weapon deployment. The Event log also provides agencies with a powerful management tool to track usage patterns and help prevent misuse. You do not need to download the X2 energy weapon to Axon Evidence services to obtain the Event log ­ the simplified Event log can be downloaded directly to your PC using the Evidence Sync (Offline) software.
The Event log includes the following information for the most recent (approximately) 16,000 entries: · Each entry contains the date and time of each event. · Entries include Armed, Safe, Trigger, ARC, USB connection, PowerSave mode, firmware updates,
time synchronizations, PPM changes, SPPM End of Transmission, agency setting changes, etc. · The duration of each Trigger and ARC event. · The duration of each Safe event (how long the energy weapon was armed when the safety switch
was shifted to the down [SAFE] position). · The internal temperature is shown for Armed and Safe events. · Battery percentage is shown for all armed session events (Armed, Trigger, ARC, Safe). · Cartridge information is shown for all armed session events (Armed, Trigger, ARC, Safe). When the log fills to approximately 16,000 entries, it will delete the oldest 4,096 records and write new ones. This process will continue in 4,096-record increments.
Pulse Log
The Pulse log records pulse activity of each pulse (e.g., probe deployments and Warning Arc displays). The Pulse log can help determine if the energy weapon’s output was within specifications and determining if and when electricity was delivered to a subject.
Engineering Log
The Engineering log monitors the performance of every key sub-system within the X2 energy weapon and provides alerts to the user on the CID if any subsystem is not performing properly and if maintenance is advisable. Any internal circuitry errors that occur inside the X2 energy weapon are written to this log. This information is used for diagnostics.
Time Synchronization
The energy weapon has a real-time clock powered by the battery pack and an internal battery as well. The energy weapon should keep accurate time even when the battery pack is removed. The X2 energy weapon is programmed to GMT at the factory. Every time the X2 energy weapon is connected to Axon Evidence services, the system will perform a time synchronization to GMT. The conversion to local time, including adjustments to daylight savings time, are all computed in the PCbased software. There is no need to program the X2 energy weapon to local time or to reprogram the energy weapon to daylight savings time. If you do not have an Axon Evidence account, the energy weapon will synchronize with your local computer’s time.
Chapter 5: Maintenance/Troubleshooting 46

TASER X2 Energy Weapon User Manual
Note: In Evidence Sync Offline mode, if your computer time is incorrect, the incorrect time will be displayed in your Evidence Sync-generated report.
X2 Energy Weapon Maintenance and Care
Each agency should establish a maintenance and handling program. The X2 energy weapon product is a sensitive piece of electronic equipment, and should be handled with care. Avoid dropping an X2 energy weapon. Do not use an X2 energy weapon that has a cracked handle. · Check the battery pack regularly. Replace it when the battery percentage reaches 20%. · Occasionally wipe out the X2 cartridge deployment bays with a dry cloth. Multiple cartridge firings
create carbon build-up (particularly after training courses) that should be removed. Do not wipe out the X2 bays immediately after the energy weapon has been fired as you might receive a latent short electrical shock. Wait at least five minutes after the last discharge of the X2 energy weapon before wiping out the bays. · Secure the X2 energy weapon in a protective holster when the energy weapon is not in use. · Function test the energy weapon regularly. · Update the energy weapon’s firmware when updated firmware is released. · Download your X2 energy weapon data to Axon Evidence services or your local PC at least once per
