will be black and the background will be yellow). Blocking the lens
will result in poor or no visibility in the video.
CID Screen Indicating a Blocked Lens
Note: With previous-
generation TASER CAM recorders, the ECD’s
LASER sight would flash when the TASER CAM lens was
covered. Covering the lens of a TASER CAM HD recorder will not
cause the LASER to flash; the CID flashes instead.
6. Shift the safety to the up (ARMED) position. The TASER CAM HD
recorder will begin recording in approximately 2 seconds.
7. Test fire the X2 ECD.
8. Shift the safety to the down (SAFE) position. The TASER CAM HD
recorder will stop recording.
9. Connect the TASER CAM HD recorder to a PC to download and view
the video/audio recorded during this test. You also can use the TASER
CAM HD recorder to download the firing logs from the weapon (see
Chapter 6: Operating the TASER CAM System for more information).
Using the TASER CAM HD Recorder
The function and use of the X2 ECD do not change with the addition of a
TASER CAM HD recorder (unless you have installed a TASER CAM HD AS
recorder, see Chapter 2: General Overview above). However, there are a
few points to remember:
The TASER CAM HD recorder does not have a flashlight. For low-light
video recording, the X2 ECD must have its LED flashlight turned on.
Hold the ECD as steady as possible while recording.
Recharge the TASER CAM HD recorder before the remaining battery
capacity is less than 50 percent.
Do not block the lens of the TASER CAM HD recorder. If the lens is
blocked, the CID will flash. With a two-handed hold, the user might
unintentionally block the lens, particularly when wearing gloves.
Note: The CID also may flash in conditions of extreme darkness even if
the lens is not blocked.
