Taser X2 - Manual (Page 41)

41 Chapter 4 Cartridges & CEW Operation
Warning Arc Display
With the safety in the up (ARMED) position, pressing and holding the ARC switch displays a Warning Arc discharge
across the front of the X2 CEW.
With a Warning Arc display, the user may deter a subject without having to use actual force. Unlike with the
M26™, X26, and X26P™ CEWs, a Warning Arc can be accomplished without removing the live cartridges. Pressing
the ARC switch does not deploy the Smart cartridges even if the X2 CEW is loaded.
NOTE: Pressing the ARC switch for a half-second or less will advance cartridge selection to the right. A sustained
ARC switch press (greater than half a second) will not advance the cartridge selection.
Use the ARC switch, not the trigger switch, to employ the Warning Arc display. Pulling the trigger switch will
deploy a loaded unfired cartridge.
Electrodes
The front of the X2 CEW has 4 metal electrodes. The electrodes provide the ability to use the X2 CEW in a “drive-
stun” mode as a traditional stun gun-type CEW.
