Safety Information: General Maintenance & Use
CAUTION
Failure to use or maintain the TASER CAM system as instructed may cause the ECD or system to
malfunction or fail to function properly or optimally. Follow and comply with the following instructions
to reduce the risk of malfunction, including failure or loss of data:
Charging the TASER CAM recorder. Do not insert the TASER CAM recorder into an X26 ECD until the
recorder is fully charged. Recharge the TASER CAM recorder frequently, before the remaining battery
capacity is less than 50 percent. If the battery is not properly charged the ECD and/or the TASER CAM
may not work or may fail to function as expected. To charge the recorder, only use the approved TASER
charging cables. Do not recharge the TASER CAM recorder out of the recommended temperature range
of 32 °F to 104 °F (0 °C to 40 °C). Charging out of this recommended range may cause damage to the
battery and may also cause deterioration of the battery’s characteristics and cycle life.
Update Software. The TASER CAM recorder has the capability for firmware updating. It is important to
acquire, update, and maintain the latest firmware update. Current software may be obtained from www.
TASER.com. NEVER disconnect the TASER CAM recorder from the USB download cable during a firmware
update, whether you are updating the recorder or X26 ECD.
Programming. Never connect a PC or wall charger to a TASER CAM recorder that is updating the X26
programming (“P” indicated on the CID).
USB download cable. Never shift the ECD safety to the up (ARMED) position or pull the trigger when the
USB download cable is plugged into the TASER CAM recorder. Never insert the TASER CAM recorder into
an X26 ECD while the TASER CAM recorder is connected to a computer or wall charger. Do not unplug
the USB download cable from the PC or TASER CAM recorder while downloading from the device.
Removal of the TASER CAM recorder. Do not remove the TASER CAM recorder from the ECD while the
safety is in the up (ARMED) position.
Keeping the battery pack with the ECD. Leaving the TASER CAM recorder out of an X26 ECD for more
than four hours without replacing it with a DPM/XDPM battery pack may result in problems with the
ECD such as corrupted data, clock errors, software problems, and weapon failure.
EMI. High voltage discharge or electromagnetic interference (EMI) may cause video corruption in the
TASER CAM recorder.
