Removing the Shipping Cover from the Cartridge
Cartridges are shipped with a shipping cover in place. Remove these covers before attempting to load a cartridge
into the X26 ECD. A cartridge cannot be loaded into the ECD with the cover in place. Once the cartridge cover
is removed, it can be disposed of.
1 Before removing the covers, make sure the front of the cartridge does not point at any body part or at
anyone.
2 Place the cartridge with the cover face down (blast door down) onto a stable/solid surface, i.e., a table.
3 Place your index and middle fingers onto the sides of the cartridge where the wedges/electrodes are
located, and place your thumbs onto the locking portions of the cover.
4 Push in with your fingers and pull outward with your thumbs and the cartridge will pop upward, releasing
it from the cover.
NOTE: The cartridge may pop upward quickly when the pressure is released from the locking portions of the
cover.
15, 21, LS21, XP25™, and XP35™ TASER Cartridges
WARNING
The XP35 TASER cartridge is not reversible. It has raised orange arrows printed on the side of the cartridge
that is inserted towards the top of the ECD.
Never attempt to open or modify a TASER cartridge. Tampering with a live TASER cartridge could cause it to
fire or malfunction (which may result in serious injury).
Handle all TASER cartridges with care. Probes may deploy unexpectedly if exposed to physical shock, or
static electricity.
