how to check if my taser is charging?

Once you plug it in, there should be a red light on to tell you it is charging.

When you turn it on, it flashes red 1-3 times (?). I believe that 3 times indicates the highest level of charge. There is no way to determine the level of charge when it is in use, except that it gives a beep descending in tone when it is out of charge and cuts off. Then when you charge it, a small red light comes on and remains on until it is fully charged, at which point the light turns off.

It may be that where you live it is illegal to have a tazer. So to find this out you would have to contact the police department. Some states accept it, some do not.

Plug something in while the car is running. Look for the light on whatever it is that you've plugged in that tells you it is being charged. Turn off the car and remove key. Is the light still on?

The directions advise to charge the device for 5 to 6 hours initially; and then 1 hour once a month to retain the charge. When you plug it in the LED turns red, but mine stays red (even after the 6 hours). The directions state not to overcharge it. Obviously if you use the light or taser function more often, then you most likely would have to charge it more frequently (or possibly longer than an hour). Also, the bright light can still be working and the taser part not fire if it's undercharged. I had this happen (I was walking and a dog was approaching me that seemed like it could bite [fortunately it didn't] but the taser didn't fire even though the light was still working. I thought it must be defective (it wasn't) I recharged the device and the taser works fine. I think that the taser must draw the charge down some (combined with using the light frequently, which I walk late evenings and it gets dark before I get home, so I've been using the light. The light is as bright as most car lights. And no, I would not have actually "tased" the dog at all, just fired in the air (because most all dogs are very frightened by loud sound it makes which is a good deterrent for being bit without causing any harm). The only caveat about "dry firing" the taser in the air is that only do that for a second at a time and then release, because according to the directions you could damage your taser if you fire it for a longer steady hold than one second bursts. Hope that answers your question. I have been very satisfied with this device and the extremely bright light for walking alone has been well worth it. Best of luck!

I would like to know that also. My collar will not charge and I have never used it.

Doesn't have an indicator, but I charge it about once every other week just to keep it fully charged in case I need it. Well made and super bright light, not to mention the threatening sounding stun feature. I love it!

push the upper slide to the fist click.. your light will come on.. all the way forward aND THEN THE BUTTON FOR THE STUN GUN TO WORK.. THIS IS A "STUN GUN" not A TASER.. DIFFERENCE BEING A TASER FIRES 2 PROBES ..this does not!!!

While I am not 100% sure, I think you have to turn the flashlight off. The switching from flashlight to stun gun (not taser) can get complicated if you are in a "situation". If I see something suspicious (loose dog, coyote), I turn the flashlight off and reposition and test the stun gun to make sure it works and then I'm in the dark unless I have another flashlight.

Sorry, I never used it. It was a gift for someone. I have been told it is not a retractable taser but a contact taser.....

Does the red light turn on when you put it into the on position, and if yes do you hear a slight hum when pressing the button? (Don't do this for too long, as it will short out the circuit). If yes to both questions then the problem is most likely a lead that has slipped from its position on the front of the taser, in which case you'll have to screw it open, and correct the problem. If no to either question then there is a myriad of possible problems such as severing of wires, a bad piece in the circuit, and other things

I'm not sure. I do know when the indicator light turns green it is fully charged

I havent noticed any overcharging issues with mine. It indicates when each battery is fully charged.

It has unlimited "shots" as long as it's charged. Keep in mind this isn't the type of taser that "shoots", it has two metal prongs on the end of the device that generates a spark between the two as long as youre holding down the button. I hope this helps answer your question! :)

Actually i dont think so but what it does have is a safety adaptor.. Basically something that you need to plug in the taser to make it actually tase someone. Without this it wont work. Good for around children. But it has 3 switches which allows you to activate the flashlight and when the adapter is plugged in, the taser and then the off button. So on conclusion the only loud noise will be when you tase or use the taser.

You would have to use a battery tester or a voltmeter whcih will tell you if there is still a charge on the battery

You should get a red light indicating the collar battery is charging. It turns green at full charge. If no light, the problem may be with the charger and not the battery in the collar.
