Firing Button

The firing button is located behind the safety switch and is ARMED when the safety is in 

the forward position. 

In the event of an unintentional discharge, immediately move the safety switch to 

the rearward (SAFE) position to stop the discharge cycle.

When shifting the safety switch to the ARMED or SAFE positions, take care to not touch the 

firing button in order to avoid an unintentional discharge.
The  LED  on  the  firing  button  communicates  battery  and  device  status.  A  green  LED 

indicates a good charge. When the LED is yellow, the battery is getting low. A red LED 

indicates the battery is depleted and/or an error in the device. If you replace the batteries 

and the LED is still red, contact customer support.

Spark Duration

When the Bolt 2 energy weapon is deployed with a single push of the button, it delivers an approximately 

30-second Shaped Pulse energy burst of short-duration electrical pulses. This sparking will continue 

for 30 seconds unless the safety switch is moved to the rearward (SAFE) position.
If the firing button is pushed a second time while the weapon is arcing, the weapon will stop arcing. 

To start a new energy cycle, you must press the firing button again.
