Load the Smart Cartridges
Unloading
1 Point the ECD in a safe direction.
2 Ensure the CAM-Lock Safety is in the down (SAFE) position.
3 Keep your hands away from the front of the cartridges.
4 Press the cartridge release button.
5 Firmly pull the cartridge out of the bay by pulling on the upper tab and lower tab of the cartridge. If the
expended cartridge feels as if it is binding in the cartridge bay and won’t easily dislodge, try firmly pressing
on the cartridge ejector directly below the individual cartridge that is difficult to remove.
The X3 Smart Cartridges can be reloaded independently. That is, if one or two of the three cartridges have been
expended, you can replace either or both of the expended cartridges with new ones. You do not have to wait
until all three cartridges have been expended before reloading.
To replace the expended cartridge:
1 Point the ECD in a safe direction.
2 Ensure the CAM-Lock Safety is in the down (SAFE) position.
3 Keep your hands away from the front of the cartridges.
4 Press the cartridge release button.
5 Firmly pull the cartridge out of the bay by pulling on the upper tab and lower tab of the cartridge.
6 Keeping your hand away from the blast doors, place a new Smart Cartridge into the cartridge bay until an
audible click is heard.
7 Verify that the cartridge is secure by pulling on the tabs on the lower and upper part of the cartridge.
8 Verify that the remaining Smart Cartridges are secure by pulling on the tabs on the lower and upper parts
of the cartridges.
Charge Diffusion™ Probes
With the new Charge Diffusion probe design, electric charge is diffused across the outermost layers of the
target’s skin. This reduces the charge density in the body.
