Because all three cartridges are energized, all three subjects are under the ECD's effect. Again, the cycle for the
first subject is likely to end before the second subject’s, and the second subject’s cycle is likely to end before the
third subject’s. To keep the first and second subjects under effect, the user must determine whether such an
application is necessary and, if so, press the ARC switch.
If you have engaged a target and contact is good, pressing and holding the ARC switch will apply energy to the
target after the first 5-second cycle is complete. This allows you to apply cycles to a continually resisting subject,
if needed, without expending any of the remaining cartridges.
Shifting the CAM-Lock Safety to the down (SAFE) position stops the cycle for all targets.
NOTE: Do not pull the trigger and press the ARC switch simultaneously. The trigger will override the event.
Manual Mode
Arc display/Re-energize/Cartridge advance (ARC) Switch Functions
The trigger and ARC switch work slightly differently in the manual mode than they do in the semi-automatic
mode. In manual mode, pulling the trigger does not advance cartridge selection. Instead, the ambidextrous
ARC switch is used to select the Smart Cartridges. By default, the left cartridge (or the first available cartridge,
from left to right) is selected automatically. (This is the left side from your perspective, while pointing the ECD.)
Pulling the trigger deploys the left cartridge. Pressing and releasing (quickly tapping once) the ARC switch
selects the next available cartridge. An additional trigger pull will deploy the next selected cartridge and also
apply energy to the previously deployed cartridge. Pressing and releasing (quickly tapping once) the ARC
switch selects the third cartridge. Then, pulling the trigger deploys the third cartridge and supplies energy to
the two previously deployed cartridges.
Pressing the ARC switch and holding it down energizes the front of the cartridges without deploying
(discharging) them. See the "Warning Arc Display" section of this manual for more information. If you have
already deployed cartridges, pressing the ARC switch and holding it down supplies energy to the deployed
cartridges without deploying any un-discharged cartridges. If you have engaged a target and contact is good,
