Chapter 4: Operating the TASER CAM System
• Also when the CEW’s safety is in the up (ARMED) position, the camera icon
should display in the
upper-left hand corner of the CEW’s central information display (CID). (These pictures show an X2 CID.
The operating mode icon will not display in an X26P CID.)
Note:
If your CEW has firmware version 4.020 or greater, the recorder icon will only display after the TASER
CAM HD begins recording, or approximately 2 seconds after the safety switch is shifted to the up/

Using the TASER CAM HD Recorder
