CHAPTER 3: Pre-Operational Checks and Charging
Inspect the E-Band / E-Vest charger before plugging it in. Make sure there are no
frayed or broken wires and that the adaptor plug is securely connected to the
wires leading to the power supply.
The power supply has a light that glows red or green. Each light represents the
status of the device. When charging, the power supply light will be red until
charging is complete at which time the light will turn green. Simply unplug The E-
Band / E-Vest and the power supply and store until use is required.
The charge on the device can last for months if not turned on and up to a few days
when in the “ON / STANDBY” mode. Once in action the device can stun for over 2
hours of continuous use.
When the charge on device is getting low the light will flash red indicating it’s
time to recharge the battery. If not use for a prolonged period charge the device
monthly to keep it in a ready mode.

CHAPTER 4: Basic E-Band / E-Vest Operations
The E-Band / E-Vest is magnetically operated and remotely controlled. The
devices are turned ON/OFF by holding the magnetic key up to the right upper
side of battery compartment for 3 seconds. The red stand-by light will
illuminate. Pressing the remote will active the device and the light on the
battery compartment will turn green letting you know the device is activated
and current is flowing to the contact pads. Releasing the button will stop the
flow of current and light will return back to red indicating the device is back in
the stand-by mode. To turn device off reverse the process with same magnetic
key again for 2-3 seconds and the red light will go out.
An Operational “Tap Test” which is Optional can be performed by activating the
remote control on the E\Band \ E-Vest and quickly tapping it on the hand or
forearm. The device will give the user a slight electrical charge letting the
operator know it’s operational.
When turning on the devices, current momentarily crosses the pads
prior to entering Stand-By mode. Turn the device on before attaching to
the body.
The device must come in contact with the subject’s skin.
The device is not affective through clothing or hair and can be degraded
on individuals who are extremely hairy.
The user and other officers can touch the person the device is applied to
without fear of being shocked.
The device can get wet but can’t be immersed in water. The
effectiveness of The device does not change or diminish when the
subject or user are wet.
The device should not be operated around flammable substances.

CHAPTER 5: Medical, Physiological Effects, ExDS
MEDICAL:
CEW’s stimulate the sensory and motor systems of the Central and Peripheral
Nervous Systems which inhibits/ distracts the subject from performing
coordinated muscle movement.
Many medical and research study’s involving CEW’s have been conducted over
past decades. The vast majority of these findings conclude that, when used
properly and within legal limits, agency policy and along with sound TTP’s,
these intermediate weapons pose no immediate threat or significant health risk
to the general population. However, Compliant Technologies recommends not
using these devices or other CEW’s on the following higher risk portions of the
population:
•The elderly
•Small children
•Pregnant women
•The severely handicapped
•Those with obvious health conditions
PHYSIOLOGICAL:
CEW’s may increase the affects that can cause sudden death including
Physiological changes with:
• Increase in blood pressure
• Changes in blood chemistry
• Increase in respiration and heart rates
• Changes in heart rhythm
• Increase in Adrenaline
• The longer the CEW exposure, the greater the potential risk
Any use of force, including CEW(s) employment, may cause or contribute
to death or serious injury. Follow your agency’s guidance and policies
when dealing with medically compromised persons.

CHAPTER 5: Medical, Physiological Effects, ExDS
Various Agencies are called upon daily to deal with the general public.
Sometimes the response is to individuals in various states or mind, or emotion
and often times under the influence of some form of drug or alcohol. These
individuals may also have underlying medical conditions that may or may not be
easily discernable with casual observation and thus may be susceptible to an
arrest-related death.
When dealing with suicidal individuals be sure to follow your agency’s polices,
TTP’s and other related protocols when dealing with these subjects.
ExDS (EXCITED DELERIUM SYNDROME):
Controversy has continued regarding the cause and manner of death of some
highly agitated persons held in police custody, restrained or incapacitated by
CEW(s).
ExDS is a Syndromal disorder (sets of symptoms) and is highly debated
because the mechanism of lethality is unknown.
When triggered, dopamine levels increase in the brain and a lethal cascade of
neural activities progress from Hyperthermia (body too hot) to Asphyxia and
sudden Cardiac Arrest then death. Medical examiners frequently cite
Psychostimulant (ADHD drugs) intoxication as a contributing factor.
In North America ExDS is most frequently associated with Cocaine,
Methamphetamine, and Cathinone (Bath Salts) use. Alcohol may or may not be
on board or the individual may not be on any stimulants at all.
Characteristics of ExDS include:
•Bizarre and Aggressive behavior
•Shouting
•Paranoia
•Panic
•Violence
•Unexpected physical strength
•Hyperthermia (Hallmark symptom of ExDS)

CHAPTER 6: Tactical Considerations for Use of Force
When considering Use of Force, operators will take into consideration the
following:
•The user’s experience level, and comfort level with their agency’s
equipment, TTP’s, and the individual(s) situational awareness at that
time, and available back-up
•The subject(s) actions/behaviors during the course of the interaction with
the officer(s)
•The risk/benefit associated with any given level of force utilized during
the encounter
When dealing with anyone, always give the subject(s) a reasonable opportunity
to comply before force is used. When the decision to use force is made, use
only that minimum amount of force necessary to accomplish lawful objectives
within the scope of the agency’s force continuum, policies and TTP’s.
It is recommended to have an additional officer on scene to cuff/restrain while
the E-band / E-Vest is being employed. Always advise other officers of device
employment by saying, “Band or Vest On!”
Users should radio in CEW employment use and call in a post event status
report.
No weapon or tool used within the Force Continuum is ever operational or
effective 100% of the time so an individual’s Situational Awareness, knowledge
of agency policies, TTP’s, training and experience is key! Users should be
ready to employ other force options, or disengage if practical.
The user and other officers can handle and handcuff the subject without
fear of being stunned.
When grabbing the subject’s extremities the officer(s) may be in a better
position to manipulate the subject to prevent serious fall injuries due to
device application, but, safety to the officer or subject can never be
guaranteed.

CHAPTER 8: Trouble Shooting and De-contamination
TROUBLE SHOOTING:
The E-Band / E-Vests are tools made to ensure reliability and operability, ready
for those who need them when that critical time arrives. Unfortunately, no
technology is ever 100% operational or reliable 100% of the time. Therefore, the
following is a trouble shooting guide for The E-Band / E-Vest In the event of a
malfunction.
•Failure of E-Band / E-Vest to turn on or stun
1. Using the magnetic key the Red Standby light should turn on in 3
seconds and the Green in use light should illuminate when you activate
the remote control. If the light doesn’t come on then the battery may
completely discharged or the switch is bad. Attempt to re-charge the
device. If the problem still persists then check the charger. Complete
Optional Operation Tap Test to see if the device may be active.
2. Visually and functionally inspect the charger. Make sure that it is
plugged in and connects easily to the device and that the appropriate
red and green lights illuminate depending on the status of the battery.
If the charger doesn’t seem to be working properly, switch chargers
and try recharging the device. If the device does recharge, then the
charger was bad, so remove it from service. If the device still doesn’t
charge, remove it from service and contact Compliant
Technologies.
•Failure of E-Band E-Vest. to turn off
1. Functionally inspect the magnetic On/Off function (Light Off) Recycle
Switch 2 times.
2. Conduct the Optional Operational “Tap Test” if willing. If the device is
still functioning then remove the device from service and contact
Compliant Technologies.
