New option for cartridge deployment behavior in function test mode

A new setting allows agencies to control whether TASER 10 deploys a cartridge when the trigger is pulled during Function Test Mode. When set to disabled (available in firmware 1.7.23+), trigger pulls are ignored and logged as "Trigger Rejected," requiring a manual switch reset to exit the mode. To reset the switch, shift the selector switch down (SAFE) and then up (ARMED) to power off the TASER, exit Function Test Mode, and power on in Weapons Mode. See TASER device settings for more information.

New maintenance metrics added to TASER Program dashboard

Interposer bucket replacement and handle cleaning maintenance metrics are now available on the TASER Program Dashboard. Previously accessible only on individual TASER device pages, these metrics help agencies monitor overdue and near-overdue maintenance based on deployment count and time since last service. Each metric includes a tooltip explaining calculation logic and a "View All" button linking to the Maintenance and Repair Tracker Detail page.

Investigating known issue with critical error false positives

Some TASER 10 devices may display critical error notifications in Axon Evidence despite no corresponding errors on the handle CID. Preliminary findings suggest these may be false positives, with no indication of a systemic hardware issue. We are taking steps to align alert volume and severity with real issues, but out of an abundance of caution, we recommend temporarily quarantining affected devices until further guidance is provided.

Resolved issues

  • Fixed an issue where the Deployments Requiring Confirmation alert on the TASER Program Dashboard was not properly updating in response to customer confirmation of deployments in Deployment Tracker.
  • TASER Program Dashboard is now available in dark mode if a user’s UI is set to dark mode.
