3.1 Initial Charging

Before first use, fully charge the device. The VTS-979 features a USB rechargeable battery.

1. Locate the USB charging port on the side of the stun gun.
2. Connect the provided USB charging cable to the stun gun's port.
3. Plug the other end of the USB cable into any standard USB power source (e.g., computer USB port, USB wall adapter).
4. Allow the device to charge until the charging indicator light (if present) indicates a full charge, or for approximately 8 hours for the initial charge.

The stun gun is shown connected via its USB charging cable to a wall adapter, indicating the charging process.

3.2 Attaching the Safety Disable Pin Lanyard

The safety disable pin is a critical safety feature that prevents the stun gun from operating if it is taken from you.

1. Locate the small metal pin at the bottom of the stun gun.
2. Attach the lanyard loop to this pin.
3. When using the stun gun, loop the lanyard around your wrist. If the stun gun is pulled away from you, the pin will detach, rendering the device inoperable.

This image demonstrates how to hold the stun gun, with the safety disable pin lanyard attached to the wrist for secure operation.

4.1 Activating the Stun Function

1. Ensure the safety disable pin lanyard is securely attached to the device and your wrist.
2. Slide the ON/OFF switch to the 'ON' position. This typically arms the device.

2. Press the dedicated flashlight button (if separate from the stun activation button, or a partial slide of the main switch) to turn on the LED flashlight.
3. Press the flashlight button again to turn it off.
4. To conserve battery, always turn the flashlight off when not in use and slide the main switch to 'OFF'.
