Function Test
TASER recommends conducting a function test every 24 hours or prior to the start of your shift for your
individually issued X26P ECD. The function test is done to verify that the ECD's core electronics are working
properly.
There is no need to use an extended duration. As long you see a visible spark between the electrodes (2 to 3
seconds), the X26P ECD is functional.
Function Test Instructions
1 Point the ECD in a safe direction.
2 Shift the safety switch to the down (SAFE) position.
3 Remove the TASER cartridge. A function test should never be conducted with a TASER cartridge in the ECD.
4 Ensure that that your fingers and no other part of your body are in front of the X26P ECD.
5 Shift the safety switch to the up (ARMED) position.
6 Pull the trigger and visually confirm sparking across the electrodes.
WARNING
View the arc from the top or side of the ECD. Do not point the ECD at your face or have it near your face.
7 Look at the CID display and verify the following:
• No fault icons display on the CID.
• The battery icon displays a 20 percent or greater capacity.
If any of the above verifications fail, return the unit to your agency’s ECD technician for service.
8 Shift the safety switch to the down (SAFE) position.
