TASER CAM User Manual

OPERATING THE TASER CAM

When the TASER CAM is inserted into a X26 and disconnected from an external charging source (PC or wall power), it provides power to the weapon and to the sensitive camera and microphone used by the TASER CAM.

Testing the TASER CAM

1.Remove the TASER Cartridge from the X26.

2.Disconnect the TASER CAM from the PC or wall power.

3.Confirm that the X26 safety is in the down (SAFE) position.

4.Remove the DPM.

5.Firmly insert the TASER CAM into the weapon until it clicks and the ejector button pops out.

Note: If the X26 weapon software is an older revision, the TASER CAM will update the software. A “P” will appear on the X26 CID indicating that the weapon software is being updated. DO NOT REMOVE THE TASER CAM UNTIL THE SOFTWARE UPDATE AND BOOT UP SEQUENCE IS COMPLETE. DOING SO WILL CORRUPT THE SOFTWARE IN THE X26.

6.Observe the boot up sequence on the X26 CID. The boot up sequence should be the same as when a standard DPM/XDPM is inserted (warranty expiration date – current date – time (GMT) – temperature (C) – software revision). (The software version is 16.)

7.Confirm that the TASER Cartridge is removed.

8.Put the safety in the up (ARMED) position. The TASER CAM will begin recording. Note: The CID will flash “88” if the camera lens is blocked by hands, gloves, debris, etc., resulting in poor or no visibility in the video. Audio recording is unaffected.

9.Test fire the X26. The LIL may flash. This is normal.

10.Put the safety in the down (SAFE) position. The TASER CAM will stop recording.

11.Connect the TASER CAM to a PC to download and view the video/audio recorded during this test. You also can use the TASER CAM to download the firing logs from the weapon (see TASER CAM Downloading).

IT-INST-TC-001 specifications

The Taser IT-INST-TC-001 is a cutting-edge electronic control device developed by Axon Enterprise, aimed primarily at law enforcement agencies and security personnel. This innovative tool offers a non-lethal means to subdue individuals who may pose a threat, providing a safer alternative to traditional methods of restraint.

One of the main features of the Taser IT-INST-TC-001 is its advanced deployment system. The device can discharge concentrated electrical energy, allowing law enforcement officers to incapacitate a target from a distance of up to 25 feet. This range provides officers with a crucial safety buffer, ensuring they can respond to potentially dangerous situations while minimizing the risk of injury to themselves and bystanders.

The IT-INST-TC-001 incorporates smart technology, enhancing its functionality and usability. Integrated with Axon’s powerful software systems, the Taser can connect wirelessly with other devices and applications, allowing for real-time data collection and analysis. This feature improves situational awareness and can provide critical information during encounters, making it an indispensable tool for police officers in the field.

In terms of characteristics, the Taser IT-INST-TC-001 is designed with user experience in mind. The device is lightweight and ergonomic, making it easy to carry and handle during high-pressure situations. Additionally, it features a robust construction that ensures durability, even in the most challenging environments.

The Taser's safety features are equally noteworthy. It includes an automatic shut-off mechanism that activates after a designated duration, preventing unnecessary harm to the individual experiencing the electrical discharge. Visual and audio indicators help users manage their usage effectively and communicate their actions to those around them.

Furthermore, the IT-INST-TC-001 does not rely solely on the traditional barbed probes commonly associated with older Taser models. Instead, advancements in technology mean that it can operate using both probe and drive-stun modes, giving officers flexibility in how they choose to engage a target.

Overall, the Taser IT-INST-TC-001 is a revolutionary tool equipped with state-of-the-art technology that ensures public safety while minimizing the risks associated with confrontational scenarios. Its combination of effective range, smart connectivity, and user-centric design makes it an essential addition to modern law enforcement practices, striving towards a safer and more effective means of maintaining order.
