TASER 7 cartridges general instructions

Never place your hands, fingers or other body part in front of the cartridge. This is especially important when loading and unloading the cartridge. Serious injury could result. When loading and unloading always hold the cartridge on the sides.

Remove the TASER 7 Cartridge from the TASER 7 energy weapon before inspection.

Before installing and using a TASER 7 Cartridge, inspect the blast doors for cracks. The inspection should include the break seams around the blast doors. If the blast doors or seams are cracked, remove the TASER 7 Cartridge from service.

The energy weapon can determine whether the TASER 7 Cartridges loaded in the cartridge bays have been deployed or not. The energy weapon also can determine whether all the cartridge bays are loaded or not. This means the energy weapon will not select an empty bay or a deployed cartridge when a live cartridge is available. Cartridge status is displayed on the CID.

The CID below shows the left cartridge bay loaded, and the right cartridge bay empty. The battery is at full capacity.

1. Cartridge
