Taser X2 - Manual (Page 11)

Step 8: ARC Switch
Pressing the ambidextrous Arc display/Re-energize/Cartridge advance (ARC) switch re-
energizes deployed cartridges to the target. The ARC ( ) switch is also used to employ a
drive-stun or a Warning Arc display, select cartridges, and select menu items during system
programming and option selection. Unlike with some previous TASER CEWs, with the X2 you
can employ a drive-stun or Warning Arc display with or without the cartridges loaded.
If you need to select a specific cartridge (e.g., the X2 CEW is loaded with a 25-foot and a 35-foot
cartridge), press and release the ARC switch to advance the cartridge selection. The energy
cycle will continue until the ARC switch is released unless your X2 CEW is equipped with an
APPM and configured to end the energy cycle at 5 seconds when initiated by either the trigger
or the ARC switch. (See the TASER X2 CEW User Manual for more information on APPM features.)
A sustained press of the ARC switch will
allow you to:
• Conduct a spark test
• Display a Warning Arc
• Apply a drive-stun
• Reenergize an expended cartridge ARC Switch
If you have successfully engaged a target and need to apply another energy cycle, but do not want to
deploy the second cartridge, press and hold the ARC switch. The energy cycle terminates as soon as
the ARC switch is released.
