TASER 7 energy weapon maintenance and care

Each agency should establish a maintenance and handling program.

The TASER 7 energy weapon product is a sensitive piece of electronic equipment and should be handled with care. Avoid dropping a TASER 7 energy weapon. Do not use a TASER 7 energy weapon that has a cracked handle.

Check the battery pack regularly.

• If you are using a rechargeable battery pack (TS1005, TS1013, or TS1017), recharge it when the battery percentage drops below 30%.
• If you are using a non-rechargeable battery pack (TS1006), replace it when the battery percentage drops below 20%.

Occasionally wipe out the TASER 7 cartridge deployment bays with a dry cloth. Multiple cartridge firings create build-up (particularly after training courses or in humid environments) that should be removed.

Do not wipe out the bays immediately after the energy weapon has been fired as you might receive a latent short electrical shock. Wait at least five minutes after the last discharge of the energy weapon before wiping out the bays.

• Secure the TASER 7 energy weapon in a protective holster when the energy weapon is not in use.
• Function test the energy weapon regularly.
• Update the energy weapon’s firmware when updated firmware is released.
• Upload your TASER 7 energy weapon data to Axon Evidence (Evidence.com) services at least once per quarter and always before sending the energy weapon to Axon Enterprise.
• Avoid immersing the TASER 7 energy weapon in water or exposing the TASER 7 energy weapon to excessive moisture or water.
