Chapter 1: Warnings
Important Safety and Health Information
Read, understand and follow the most current product warnings, safety instructions, and training materials. All
product warnings are not included in this Manual. A Product Warnings document is included with this conducted
electrical weapon (CEW) and the most current warnings are posted on our website at www.axon.com. The most
current training materials are available by contacting Axon’s Training Department. Do not attempt to use this CEW
until you have completed training with a Axon Enterprise, Inc. (Axon) Certied TASER Instructor.
!
WARNING!
Complete Training First
Signicant dierences exist between each of the TASER CEW models. Do not use or attempt to use any CEW
model unless you have been trained and certied by a Certied TASER Instructor on that particular model.
Read and Obey
Read, study, understand, and follow all instructions, warnings, information, training bulletins and relevant
TASER training materials before using the TASER X26P CEW. Failure to comply with the product instructions,
warnings, information, training bulletins, and TASER training materials could result in death or serious injury
to the user, force recipient, and others.
Obey Applicable Laws
Use of CEWs must be legally justied and comply with applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations.
The decision to use a CEW in a particular manner or circumstance must follow applicable law enforcement
agency Guidance.
TASER CEWs are designed in probe-deployment mode to temporarily incapacitate a person from a safer distance
while reducing the likelihood of serious injuries or death. When used as directed, TASER CEWs have been found
to be safer and more eective than other traditional use-of-force tools and techniques. However, it is important
to remember that the use of force and physical incapacitation, by their very nature, involve risk that someone will
get hurt or may even die from factors that include, but are not limited to: physical resistance, exertion, individual
susceptibilities, and/or unforeseen circumstances. Any use of force or physical exertion involves risks that a person
may get hurt or die.

LASER Information
The CEW uses a Class 2 or Class 3R LASER as an aiming aid. LASERs can cause serious eye injury, including permanent vision loss.

CAUTION! RADIATION EXPOSURE
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specied herein may result in
hazardous radiation exposure.
Use of Force Policy
Each agency is responsible for creating its own use-of-force policy and determining how TASER CEWs t its useof-force matrix based on legal and community standards. Make sure your agency has a use-of-force policy that
addresses TASER CEW use and that this policy is clearly addressed during end-user training.

Firmware Update
Before using your X26P CEW, conrm with your armorer or other qualied person that the X26P rmware has been
updated.

Chapter 2: General Information
What Is the TASER X26P CEW?
The X26P CEW is a rmware-upgradable weapon manufactured by Axon Enterprise, Inc.
The X26P CEW uses a replaceable cartridge containing compressed nitrogen to deploy 2 small probes that are
attached to the X26P CEW cartridge by insulated conductive wires. The cartridges are available with various wire
lengths from 15 to 25 feet (4.6 to 7.6 meters). Sale of cartridges with wire length longer than 15 feet is limited to
law enforcement and military only.
The X26P CEW’s Trilogy log can be uploaded securely to Evidence.com. The X26P CEW has an internal memory
that stores the operating rmware and a deployment record. See Trilogy Log (Chapter 5) for more details. Those
who do not have an Evidence.com account can use the Oine Evidence Sync software to download a simplied
log to a local computer.
The X26P CEW has an estimated useful life of 5 years.
Neuro Muscular Incapacitation (NMI)
TASER technology is designed to use electrical impulses similar to those in your body’s nervous system to cause
stimulation of the sensory and motor nerves. Neuro Muscular Incapacitation (NMI) occurs when a CEW is able to
cause involuntary stimulation of both the sensory nerves and the motor nerves. It is not dependent on pain and
can be eective on subjects with a high level of pain tolerance.
Previous generations of stun guns primarily aected the sensory nerves only, resulting in pain compliance. A subject with a very high tolerance to pain (e.g., a drug abuser, person in serious psychological distress, or a trained, focused ghter) may not be aected by the pain or might be able to ght through the pain of a traditional stun gun.

TASER X26P CEW User Manual
Basic X26P CEW Electrical Theory
• Electricity must be able to ow between the probes to deliver an electrical charge and will generally follow the
path of least resistance between the probes.
• The greater the spread between the probes on the target, generally the greater the eectiveness.
• Electricity will generally not pass to others in contact with the subject unless contact is made directly between
or on the probes, or the wires are touched.
• Electricity can arc through most clothing, and even some bullet-resistant materials.
• Exposure to water will not cause electrocution or increase the power to the subject. The electrical charge is
xed inside the TASER CEW, and will not increase signicantly even with environmental changes.
• The Current Metering technology is designed to deliver optimal charge.
• Medical studies have found that modern pacemakers and implanted cardiac debrillators withstand automated external debrillators (AEDs) that are orders of magnitude stronger than the TASER CEW conducted energy
pulses.

Note: The serial number is located inside the cartridge bay.
Ensure the CEW is unloaded, the safety is in the down (SAFE) position, and your ngers are away from the
trigger before reading the serial number.
Safety Switch
Ambidextrous safety can be operated from either side of the CEW.
• Safety switch down (SAFE).
• Safety switch up (ARMED)
and ready to deploy.
• Do not block the safety on
one side of the X26P CEW
while attempting to move
it on the other side. This
can break the safety and
disable the CEW.
Down (SAFE)
Up (ARMED)
• With default settings, if the X26P CEW’s safety switch is left in the up (ARMED) position for more than 20 minutes, the system goes into low power mode to reduce the amount of power consumed, and the CEW will not
re. Although the CEW will not re, power is still consumed and will eventually drain the battery if the safety
switch remains in the ARMED position. To re-arm the CEW, shift the safety to the down (SAFE) position, and then
shift it back to the up (ARMED) position.

LASER
The LASER installed in the X26P CEW is oriented with the mechanical sights. At 15 feet (4.6 m), the aiming point is
aligned to the approximate trajectory of a cartridge’s top probe.
Mechanical Sights
The mechanical sights on the X26P CEW are molded to provide manual aiming of the CEW. The mechanical sights
are set to coincide with a top probe’s trajectory at a 15-foot (4.6 m) distance.

Performance Power Magazine (PPM) Battery Pack
The Performance Power Magazine is a lithium energy cell power supply system for the X26P CEW.
Note: X26P battery packs will not work with the X3 or X26 CEWs, and battery packs designed for the X3 or X26
CEWs will not work with the X26P CEW. Battery packs designed for the X2 CEW will work in the X26P CEW.
Battery packs should be stored in their original packaging, including the dessicant bag, until they are to be used.
Do not store the PPM anywhere that the gold contacts on the top of the PPM may touch metal objects. If you
cause an electrical short between these contacts, the short will drain the battery and may cause the pack itself to
become dangerously hot.
The PPM battery has enough power for approximately 500 ve-second discharges depending on temperature,
environment, use of the ashlight, and other factors. The PPM battery will deplete faster in colder weather than
warm weather. Likewise, the battery will deplete faster with the ashlight active.
For more information on installing the PPM, see Changing the Battery Pack.
Note: Other battery pack options are available for the X26P CEW. See Tactical Performance Power Magazine (TPPM)
Battery Pack, eXtended Performance Power Magazine (XPPM) Battery Pack, Automatic Shut-Down Performance
Power Magazine (APPM) Battery Pack, eXtended Automatic Shut-Down Performance Power Magazine (XAPPM)
Battery Pack, and Signal Performance Power Magazine (SPPM) Battery Pack.
Changing the Battery Pack
To change the battery pack:
1 Point the CEW in a safe direction.
2 Ensure the safety switch is in the down (SAFE) position.
