If you do not have an EVIDENCE.com account, the CEW will synchronize with your local computer's time.
X2 CEW Maintenance and Care
Each agency should establish a maintenance and handling program.
The X2 CEW product is a sensitive piece of electronic equipment, and should be handled with care. Avoid
dropping an X2 CEW. Do not use an X2 CEW 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 CEW has been fired as you might receive a latent short
electrical shock. Wait at least 5 minutes after the last discharge of the X2 CEW before wiping out the bays.
• Secure the X2 CEW in a protective holster when the CEW is not in use.
• Function test the CEW regularly.
• Update the CEW’s software when updated software is released.
• Download your X2 CEW data to EVIDENCE.com services or your local PC at least once per quarter and always
before sending the CEW to TASER International.
• Avoid immersing the X2 CEW in water or exposing the X2 CEW to excessive moisture or water.
• See the troubleshooting guide at www.TASER.com for additional maintenance instructions.
Dropped or Wet X2 CEW
Do not immerse the CEW in water. Any CEW loaded with Smart cartridges that is submerged in water may
unexpectedly deploy the cartridges. If your CEW has been submerged in water or exposed to a significant
amount of water for an extended time, remove it from service and contact TASER.
Follow these steps for a CEW exposed to some moisture but not submerged in water.
1 Point the CEW in a safe direction and away from your body.
2 Shift the safety switch to the down (SAFE) position.
3 Safely remove the battery pack.
4 Safely remove all cartridges.
5 Let the CEW dry out.
Dry the X2 CEW thoroughly (at least 24 hours). Do not use an external heat source such as a microwave
oven or hair dryer to dry the X2 CEW.
6 Point the CEW in a safe direction and away from your body and ensure that the safety switch is in the down
(SAFE) position.
7 Safely reinstall the battery pack.
8 Wait 1 minute before proceeding to the next step. Confirm that the CEW is not getting warm.
