The 15-, 21-, and 25-foot (4.6 m, 6.4 m, and 7.6 m, respectively) TASER cartridges are specifically designed so
there is no “up” or “down” position – enabling you to quickly reload one in a stressful situation without worrying
about putting it in upside down. (The 35-foot [10.7 m] cartridges must be loaded a specific way. See the 35-foot
TASER cartridge specifications for more information).
Aiming and Probe Placement
Level Tilted
For most deployments, hold the ECD level. Do not tilt the ECD unless it is necessary to do so to align the ECD
with the target.
