Taser X26P - Manual (Page 28)

28 Chapter 5 Maintenance/Troubleshooting
Engineering Log
The Engineering Log monitors the performance of key sub-systems within the X26P ECD. It provides alerts if a
subsystem is not performing properly and if maintenance is advisable. Any internal circuitry errors that occur
inside the X26P ECD are written to this log. This information is used for diagnostics.
Time Synchronization
The ECD has a real-time clock powered by the battery pack and an internal battery as well. The ECD should keep
accurate time even when the battery pack is removed.
Every time the X26P ECD is connected to EVIDENCE.com services, the system will perform a time synchronization.
The conversion to local time, including adjustments to daylight savings time, are all computed by EVIDENCE
Sync software. There is no need to program the X26P ECD to local time or to reprogram the ECD to daylight
savings time.
NOTE: In EVIDENCE Sync Offline mode, if your computer time is incorrect, the incorrect time will be displayed
in your EVIDENCE Sync-generated report.
X26P ECD Maintenance and Care
Each agency should establish a maintenance and handling program.
CAUTION
The X26P product is a sensitive piece of electronic equipment, and should be handled with care. Avoid
dropping an X26P ECD. Do not use an X26P ECD that has a cracked handle.
• Check the battery pack regularly. Replace it when the battery percentage reaches 20%.
• Occasionally wipe out the X26P cartridge deployment bay with a dry cloth. Multiple cartridge firings
create carbon build-up (particularly after training courses) that should be removed.
• Secure the X26P ECD in a protective holster when the ECD is not in use.
• Function test the ECD regularly.
• Update the ECD’s firmware when updated firmware is released.
• Download your X26P ECD data to EVIDENCE.com services or your local PC at least once per quarter and
always before sending the ECD to TASER International.
• Avoid immersing the X26P ECD in water or exposing the X26P ECD to excessive moisture or water.
• See the troubleshooting guide at www.TASER.com for additional maintenance instructions.
Check expiration of TASER cartridges (5-year expiration date is listed on the base of the cartridge). Do not use
an expired TASER cartridge in the field. They should only be used for training.
