If a "P" is displayed on the CID of a TASER X26 ECD, what should you do?

When a "P" is displayed on the CID (Cyclic Information Display) of a TASER X26 Electronic Control Device (ECD), this indicates that the device is in the process of completing its boot-up sequence. It is essential to allow the ECD to fully complete this process without interference to ensure that it functions correctly and safely. Interrupting the boot-up, for instance by pulling the DPM (Data Port Module) out too early or attempting to activate the device during this time, could lead to improper functioning or a failure to operate as intended when needed.

Allowing the device to finish its boot-up sequence ensures that all self-checks and initializations are completed. This is crucial for confirming that the device is fully operational and ready for use. Thus, the proper course of action in this scenario is to wait until the boot-up sequence is complete.
