Charging the TASER CAM Using the PC USB Download Cable
Note: Before charging the TASER CAM with a PC, ensure that the proper software is
installed on the computer (See TASER CAM PC Software Installation).
1. Connect the USB download cable to the TASER CAM.
2. Connect the USB download cable to the PC. Be sure to fully insert the cable into the
USB port.
3. A green light near the TASER CAM lens will flash to indicate charging.
4. When the TASER CAM is fully charged, the green light will remain steady.
Note: The download application should be closed while charging, in order to
minimize the charging duration. Keeping the application open can almost double the
charging time.
5. After unplugging the cable from the TASER CAM, remember to replace the dataport
plug on the TASER CAM to prevent damage from any debris or moisture.
If the TASER CAM is charging while it is in the X26 device, the right half of the X26 CID will
display the following sequence and repeat every 30 seconds:
• The battery level, represented by a scale from 1–9 (1 = 10%, 2 = 20%, 3 = 30%,
etc.). When the battery is fully charged, three horizontal segments will be displayed.
• A “U” is displayed if the TASER CAM is being charged using the PC download
cable. Nothing is displayed if it is being charged using the wall power cable.
• A sequence of one, two, and then three horizontal segments is displayed for about
25 seconds while charging. When the battery is fully charged, a decimal point will be
displayed in the lower right corner of the CID for about 25 seconds.
Note: When the USB download cable or wall charging cable is disconnected from the
TASER CAM while in the X26 device, the X26 will go through its boot-up sequence as if a
DPM/XDPM were removed and reinserted. Never remove the TASER CAM from the X26
while it is going through the boot-up sequence, or while the safety is in the up (ARMED)
position.
