If you are a new owner of a
TASER C2 device then it is very important that you know how to use it properly so you can get the most out of this self defense product. Most of the information you need about the device is already included in the manual and/or training DVD that you received. But if there are still some question you would like to have answered then this article will do just that! For any further questions leave us a comment down bellow.
The battery
The TASER C2 model uses a standard lithium battery cartridge that should provide enough power for about 50 firings. We say "should" as it is an average estimate, but is also more then enough for most users needs. When you load the new battery cartridge into the device make sure that the magazine cartridge is not already inside of it. Load the battery cartridge into the
TASER C2 and then reinsert the magazine cartridge once more. When the battery cartridge is in the TASER and has sufficient power, you will see a green light, a sure sign that it is working properly.
If you need more batteries, then feel free to buy more!

Holding the device
Many hold the device in a wrong position, as if it were a stun gun. When one holds the TASER one should hold it as one would a handgun, vertically. There is a safety switch cover (standard safety protocol) that you open so that you can see and press the firing button. The effective range of the taser is less than15 feet so do not use it if the attacker is this far away.
All TASER C2 models come with a very useful laser aiming device which will cause fear in the attacker as it isn't the most common sight and give you the precision you want. When aiming at a target keep in mind that where ever you see the laser, that is where the top probe will approximately land. If possible it is recommended that you do not aim for a persons face or neck, but if the risk is too great then do whatever is need to protect yourself, after all that is what the taser is for.
Consider getting a good looking
The most effective shot from the
TASER C2 is fired from seven to ten feet away from the target. If you shoot your attacker from about 7 feet away this will result in a probe spread of about 1 foot. Try to aim for the trunk of the body. Always try to have at least a 4-inch spread of the probes. At seven to ten feet away - the spread of the probes will be approximately 16 inches.
Remember to practice firing your TASER C2 before you actually need to use it. You can practice across the room at dummy targets or just some pillows to get the best feel of using the CS. Remember that in a real situation the barbs of the device will be able to penetrate the skin even though clothing so you don't just have to aim for the exposed parts of the body.
The back-up
What happens if all should fail and the probes do not fire as they should? Is that it? Of course not! There is also a
stun capability backup on the TASER C2 called the
Drive Stun Back Up. This great and useful feature allows to you to use the device as a stun gun and just press the electrodes into the attackers exposed skin or a thinner layer of clothing and fire!
The Finale
Once the attacker is on the ground and incapacitated, you should place the TASER C2 on the ground and run away to a safe location. Notify the authorities and law enforcement and do not try to retrieve your
TASER C2 from the location where you left it. By the contract you have as the owner of the device the TASER International will replace your C2 if you send them a copy of the police report of your attack.
