Operating Instructions
Engaging the Safety
The TASER Pulse 2 features a dual-sided safety switch. To engage the safety, push the switch down to the "SAFE" position. To disengage and prepare for firing, push the switch up to the "ARMED" position. Always keep the safety engaged until you are ready to deploy the device.

- Identify Threat: Only use the device when faced with an immediate threat to your safety or the safety of others.
- Disengage Safety: Push the safety switch up to the "ARMED" position. The laser sight and flashlight will activate.
- Aim: Use the laser sight to aim at the target's center mass. The optimal range is up to 15 feet.
- Fire: Pull the trigger firmly. The probes will deploy, and the device will deliver a 30-second Neuro-Muscular Incapacitation (NMI) cycle.
- Re-engage Safety: After deployment, if the threat is neutralized, immediately re-engage the safety switch to the "SAFE" position.
The device is designed to temporarily override an attacker's central nervous system, limiting muscular control for 30 seconds, allowing you time to escape to safety.
