Selector Switch
Press the selector switch on the top of the X3 ECD to configure the system. See the "Configuring the X3 ECD"
section in this manual for more information.
The selector switch is slightly recessed to ensure that it is not pressed unintentionally during normal
operations.
Pressing the selector switch when the CAM-Lock safety is in the up (ARMED) position puts the X3 ECD in stealth
mode—the flashlight and laser are turned off and "S" is shown in the battery image. Pressing and holding the
switch a second time will turn on the flashlight and laser.
The stealth mode cannot activate features that were turned off during ECD configuration. If the X3 ECD is
configured to not use its flashlight or lasers, the stealth mode will not turn them on. See the "Configuring the
Flashlight" and "Configuring the Top/Bottom Lasers" sections in this manual for more information.
NOTE: Using pens or paper clips to press the selector switch may damage it.
Trigger Switch
Unlike a firearm trigger, the X3 ECD trigger switch is a momentary electrical switch. The trigger is operational
only when the CAM-Lock safety is in the up (ARMED) position. Pulling and releasing the trigger switch will
deploy the first selected cartridge and result in an approximate five-second discharge unless the safety is shifted
to the down (SAFE) position. Pulling and holding the trigger switch for more than five seconds will result in a
continuous discharge until the trigger switch is released or the EPM is depleted—whichever happens first.
Multiple trigger pulls will have different results, depending on the selected deployment mode. See the "Semi-
Automatic Mode" and "Manual Mode" sections in this manual for more information.
Mounting Rail

Mounting Rail
The Mounting Rail is built into the X3 ECD’s unibody polymer frame. This allows the ECD to be attached to
external mounting systems, as well as providing secure retention while the ECD is holstered inside the ECD's
Magnesium Transporter Holster.
Ergonomic Grip Design
The handle of the X3 ECD is optimized for comfort with specific features for safe and effective use for people of
most sizes.
