International Safety first Always treat your X2 CEW as if it were loaded Using the X2 CEW The X2 CEW is a serious state of the art defensive weapon and should be treated accordingly Although the CEW is designed to be as nonviolent as possible in stopping a combatant its use can result in injuries including but not limited to a probe embedded in an eye or secondary injuries related to falling For a full list of warnings see the product warnings at www TASER com The TASER CEW is to be used only for lawful purposes including lawful self defense or in the defense of others Check your state and local laws for applicable regulations Aiming and Probe Placement For most deployments hold the CEW level Do not tilt the CEW unless it is necessary to align the CEW with the attacker The top probe is designed to impact the target near the top LASER beam but exact placement can vary depending on numerous factors including but not limited to the distance movement of the user or attacker and environmental factors Hold the X2 CEW so that the cartridge is vertical for an upright target If both the upper and lower LASERs are active you should be able to estimate where each probe will hit NOTE The LASERs are designed to coincide with the top and bottom probes of a Smart cartridge at 15 feet 4 6 m Thus if your target is 15 feet away the probes will strike the attacker approximately where
