If you have purchased a TASER C2 then it is very important that you know how to use it properly so you can have the best self defense possible. There are many things about a TASER you should know so you can use it effectively against an attacker. The first step, of course, is to read the directions and Owner's manual that came with the TASER you purchased. Also, most importantly, take the time to review the included Training DVD that comes with every TASER C2.

The TASER C2 model uses a Lithium battery cartridge that should provide enough power for about 50 firings. When you load the battery cartridge in the TASER make sure the magazine cartridge is not inside of the TASER. Load the battery cartridge into the TASER C2 and then reinsert the magazine cartridge. When the battery cartridge is in the TASER and has sufficient power, you will see a green light, which will notify you it, is working.

Now we are ready to load the magazine cartridge. Very easy to do but with a few words of caution. Just like a gun, never point the business end of a TASER C2 at anyone unless you are going to use it. Second, also like a gun, make sure the safety is on. You do this by sliding the switch cover closed. After you obeyed those two things simply open up the magazine cover and install the cartridge. When you have pushed it in far enough you will hear an audible "click". That is your notice that you have installed it correctly. A nice feature about the design of the TASER C2 is that the magazine cannot be installed incorrectly. That is nice to know especially if you are in a high stress situation.

Do not try to imitate the fancy hand positions we see on TV shows when someone is using a gun when you use the TASER C2. Always hold it just like you would a handgun, vertically. Slide the safety cover back so that the firing button is now exposed and aim at the assailant. Every TASER C2, except one model, comes equipped with a built in laser sighting device. This laser will place a red dot on your assailant when you point it at him. This dot represents the approximate landing position of the top probe. Try to shoot for the chest area. Make sure you are within 15 feet of your attacker. That is the maximim range of the TASER C2 probes.

The spread of the two probes varies with the distance you are away from an attacker. For the best results try to be about 7 to 10 feet away from him. At this distance your probe spread will be about 16 inches which is what we want. This will produce maximum effectiveness. Try to make sure you get more then a 4 inch spread of the probes.

You should always practice firing with a TASER C2 before you actually need to use it. You can practice across the room at targets to get the best feel for the C2. TASERS have little miniature barbs in them that will actually puncture the skin or penetrate clothing to send the electrical volts and wattage into the body. When you are ready to use a TASER C2, flip the safety switch to expose the firing button and you will see a light that will be the indicator that the gun is ready to fire.

There is also a stun capability backup on the TASER C2 called the Drive Stun Back Up. This means that if you just happen to run out of cartridges and you still need to disable an attacker you can approach the person and use the stun gun functionality. The TASER C2 has two stun gun electrodes that will allow you to depress the volts into the attacker's neck or other exposed body part and then make your escape.

As soon as your attacker is on the ground and incapacitated, place the TASER C2 on the ground and run away to a safe location. Do not try to retrieve your TASER C2. TASER International will replace your C2 if you send them a copy of the police report of your attack.
