Selector Switch

With the safety switch in the down (SAFE) position, press the selector switch on the top of the X2 CEW to

configure the system. See the Configuring the X2 CEW and Viewing the System Status section in this manual 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 CEW in stealth mode—the

flashlight and LASER are turned off and the CID will dim. Pressing and holding the switch a second time will turn

on the flashlight and LASER.

NOTE: The stealth mode cannot activate features that were turned off during CEW configuration. If the X2 CEW

is configured to not use its flashlight or LASERs, the stealth mode will not turn them on.

NOTE: 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 CEW 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 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

5 seconds will result in a continuous discharge until the trigger switch is released or the battery is depleted—

whichever happens first.

An X2 CEW equipped with the APPM battery pack is limited to 5-second discharges and emits an audio alert 2

seconds before the end of the cycle. See the Audio Performance Power Magazine (APPM) Battery Pack section

in this manual 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.
