ADVANCED TASER® M26 Operating Manual • MMU0008 Rev: B
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 device.
Never attempt to open or modify a TASER Cartridge. Tampering with a live TASER Cartridge
could cause it to fire or malfunction.
Handle all TASER cartridges with care. Probes may deploy unexpectedly if exposed to
physical shock, or static electricity.
Additionally, the firing sequence for all TASER Cartridges is designed to be initiated by an
electrostatic discharge delivered by the TASER device. This is an important design and
functional element for the TASER device and cartridge. However, an electrostatic discharge
can come from many sources. When an electrostatic discharge, regardless of the source,
contacts the front of a TASER Cartridge, it is possible for the cartridge to discharge. Therefore
avoid contact between static electricity and the TASER cartridge, because static electricity
can cause unexpected discharge.
TASER Cartridges should be kept away from conditions known to create an electrostatic
discharge, such as rubbing cloth (i.e. jacket liner) across a cartridge in an environment
known to create static shocks.
Although highly unlikely, it is possible for TASER Cartridges to deploy outside of the TASER
device, or in a device that has not been activated due to contact with an electrostatic
discharge. Care should be taken to keep electrostatic discharge away from TASER
Cartridges.
