Which action is required for the charge to pass into the subject's body?

• A. Pointed at from distance
• B. Only when used with a grounding rod
• C. Pressed against and trigger held
• D. Only when touching clothing

Answer: (C)

Energy transfer from this type of device hinges on creating a complete conduction path into the body. That happens when the device’s contact surfaces are pressed against the target and the device is activated, establishing a direct electrical connection. Aiming from a distance won’t reliably deliver the charge, and simply touching clothing or relying on a grounding rod doesn’t establish the necessary path. So, the action that allows the charge to pass into the subject’s body is pressing the device against the body and holding the trigger to keep the circuit active during the pulse. Remember to always prioritize safety and proper training when handling such equipment.
