What occurs when the trigger is pulled on a loaded TASER 7 during Functional Test Mode?

When the trigger is pulled on a loaded TASER 7 during Functional Test Mode, the device discharges the cartridge. This is a crucial aspect of the TASER 7's operation, as the device is designed to allow users to confirm its functional capability, including the ability to deploy energy once the trigger is activated.

Functional Test Mode is specifically intended to simulate operational conditions and verify that the TASER is functioning as it should. When the trigger is pulled while in this mode with a loaded cartridge, it activates the discharge, demonstrating that the electrical output is operational and ready for effective use if needed in a real scenario. This capability is vital for ensuring that the device is in good working condition before it is actually employed.

Other options, such as logging the trigger pull or updating firmware, are not the primary functions of the trigger pull in Functional Test Mode. The choice to exit the mode may occur under different circumstances, rather than being an immediate effect of pulling the trigger.
