Maintenance/Troubleshooting

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, software updates, time

synchronizations, language changes, flashlight on/off, etc.

• The duration of each Trigger and ARC event.
• The duration of each Safe event (when the safety switch was moved to the down [SAFE] position and how

long the CEW was armed).

• The internal temperature is shown for armed session events except for Trigger and ARC 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 4,000 records and write new

ones. This process will continue in 4,000-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 CEW'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 CEW 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 CEW are written to this log. This information is used for diagnostics and

warranty issues. (Your agency administrator has the ability to configure your department's EVIDENCE.com settings

to automatically upload these logs or not.)

Time Synchronization

The CEW has a real-time clock powered by the battery pack and an internal battery as well. The CEW should keep

accurate time even when the battery pack is removed.

The X2 CEW is programmed to GMT at the factory. Every time the X2 CEW is connected to EVIDENCE.com 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 PC-based software. There is no need to program the X2 CEW to

local time or to reprogram the CEW to daylight savings time.
