How to assemble & disassemble your case:To view a step by step demonstration video visit www.yellowjacketcase.com/support.

1. Begin by removing the iPhone® case from the stun gun pack. To do this, depress case lock button and push vertically (up). The case will unlock from the base and move upwards about an inch.2. Pull the case away from the base in the opposite, horizontal direction. The case will depart from the stun gun base at a 45° angle.3. Place your iPhone® into the protective TPU case. Do this by gently pulling the sides away from the case while maneuvering the iPhone® into place.

4. Once in place, lock your iPhone® and TPU case into the stun gun pack by aligning the bottom of the slots on the iPhone® case with the locking piers that extrude from the stun gun base, place the two together, and then move the iPhone® case down until it �rmly sits completely �ush along the bottom of the iPhone® Lightning® connector charging dock.5. To test this �t, turn on the battery charger on the stun gun case. If the iPhone® begins to charge, the case is assembled and ready to go.6. To disassemble, repeat steps 1 and 2.

Charging your Yellow Jacket® On-Board Battery:To charge your Yellow Jacket®, perform the following steps:1. Make sure the unit is in the Power-o� position (safety switch is DOWN) during charging.2. While the device is charging, the LED lights on the back of the case will pulsate through their cycle. Once the device is fully charged all four of the LED lights will glow a solid color. Charge for approximately four (4) hours.3. To charge your Smartphone without removing it from the Yellow Jacket® device, move the safety switch to the standby position. Check your Smartphone battery charging indicator for feedback as to its battery disposition.

Charging your phone with the Yellow Jacket® Back- up Battery:

Initiate the charge function by pressing the LED check indicator button twice on the back of the case, located near the LED lights. When your phone is actively charging, the LED lights will stay on and you should see a charging symbol initiate on your phone home screen. The LED lights will stay on as your phone charges. To turn o� the phone charging function, double click the button again.

Indicators:STUN-READY INDICATOR: When the Stun Gun Activation Switch is moved forward to the stun-ready position, the RED light will glow through the switch/tab, indicating the Yellow Jacket® is ready to be discharged.

CHARGING INDICATOR: When you charge the Yellow Jacket®, the LED charging indicators will pulsate or cycle through the four LED indicators located on the back of the device. When fully charged, all four LED lights shall remain on.

How to check your Yellow Jacket® battery:

1. Press the battery meter button on the lower back portion of Yellow Jacket® stun gun.2. Notice the (4) LED lights beside the battery meter button. From left to right, they indicate the battery charge level.3. The �rst four battery level lights will turn on, indicating the quarter of battery charge it represents that remains. For example, if 2 of the 4 lights come on, that means your case still has 50 percent of the charge remaining.4. You can repeat this throughout the day to see how much battery you can deliver to charge your iPhone®.5. There is a reserve charge for the stun gun, meaning it will work for a short duration even if the battery charge runs out and it no longer charges the iPhone®. (We recom-mend charging the case before this occurs)

How to Use the Stun Gun:1. Turn on Yellow Jacket® by pushing the Safety Switch to Stun-Ready Position (UP Position). As the Stun- Ready Safety Switch is slid FORWARD, it will expose a RED DOT that indicates the unit is powered up and ready for use.2. Push the Stun Gun Activation Switch forward to expose the two electrodes at the top of the Yellow Jacket® Case. When the

switch is pushed into the forward position, the switch will light up RED, thus indicating the unit is ready to be discharged.3. “Push DOWN and Hold” the Stun Gun Activation Switch/ Button to discharge the unit. The unit will continue to discharge electricity as long as the switch/ button is depressed.4. DO NOT PLACE YOUR HAND NEAR THE CONTACT ELECTRODES OR YOU MAY RECEIVE A STRONG SHOCK!

Warning: DO NOT �re the case in the air for more than 2 seconds, unless applying your Yellow Jacket® against an attacker. This is known as dry �ring and can cause irreversible, warranty-voiding damage to yourYellow Jacket®.

Safety Guidelines:Yellow Jacket® has two (2) safety features to prevent accidental discharge.Safety Switch: This switch prevents the activator button from �ring the unit unless it is moved into the “ON” or up position.Stun Gun Activation Switch: This switch when slid into the forward position exposes the electrodes. The electrodes must be exposed in order for the device to �re. Do not extend or expose the electrodes unless you are prepared to use the device. This same switch/tab acts as the “trigger” to initiate the electrical discharge of the unit. Push and hold the Stun Gun Activation Switch downward (inward) with enough

pressure to activate (trigger) the Yellow Jacket® Phone Case.Placing the Yellow Jacket® in Safe or “Standby” Mode: Slide the Stun Gun Activation Switch backward (towards the base of the unit) to return the unit to SAFE or STANDBY mode. The electrodes will not be protruding from the top of the case when the unit has successfully been placed in SAFE or STANDBY mode. When the Yellow Jacket® is placed in this con�guration, it cannot be activated for electrical discharge and the electrodes are not visible, thus protecting them as well.

Technical notes about your case:• If your electrodes are engaged, you will see a bright blue and white current of electricity creating a continuous arc between the electrodes and a loud zapping or snapping sound. The arc between the electrodes can reach a half-inch high.• Charge Yellow Jacket® at least four (4) hours before use.• Battery performance is best if recharged only when the battery is at the lowest.• The Yellow Jacket® case will become warm while charging.• Charging at temperatures below 40 degrees Fahrenheit and higher than 100 degrees Fahrenheit adversely a�ects lifetime of batteries.• If the unit has not been used for at least two (2) months, it must be fully charged before use.

Reminder: Be sure to charge your case completely before charging your phone or powering your stun gun.

To Use in Self Defense:In order for any defensive tool to be e�ectively deployed, the user must remain vigilant and aware of their surroundings. Criminals target victims by assessing their vulnerability as well as their lack of situational awareness. Walk with a purpose. Avoid dark and dangerous looking areas. Continually scan your surroundings for danger. TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS.a. Hold your Yellow Jacket® Phone Case with a secure grip. You will most likely have it in your dominant hand as this is how you likely carry your phone. Standing in what is commonly identi�ed as a right-handed boxer’s stance (if you are right handed), hold your free hand in front of your body to parry, de�ect or block incoming blows from your attacker. Holding the Yellow Jacket® Phone Case in your dominant hand, prepare to activate the electrodes by pushing the discharge switch/button and holding it.b. Using moderate pressure, touch an attacker on the targeted areas of their body with the activated electrodes and apply until the attacker has recoiled from contact with the Yellow Jacket® Phone Case or you are able to �ee. Targeted areas of the attacker’s body that deployment of the Yellow Jacket® high-voltage electric discharge should be

directed at include the torso, throat, groin, face and spine. However, “targets of opportunity,” should not be ignored if presented. These targets could include the hands, forearms, armpits, eyes, neck, etc.c. To use as a deterrent, OR to send a warning signal in emergency situations, discharge the weapon with the electrodes facing the potential attacker/assailant. The Yellow Jacket® Phone Case is a CONTACT weapon. You must be determined in your defensive deployment of the device. DO NOT act in a timid fashion. Demonstrate strength and determination. You are in a �ght quite possibly for your life. Act like it!d. To return the Yellow Jacket® Phone Case to a safe condition, simply slide the Stun Gun Activation Switch back causing the electrodes to withdraw to a non-exposed, internal position. The Stun Gun Activation Switch will no longer be RED in color once it is deactivated and in safe standby mode.The methods provided are suggestions on how to defend yourself during an attack.

Yellow Jacket® is not responsible for the out- comes of using these methods. For more self-defense tips visit: www.yellowjacketcase.com/support

Target Areas:The approximately 7,000,000 volt electrical discharge is e�ective on any part of the body but most e�ective when aimed at the neck, pelvis, sternum, throat, face, groin, spine and ribs.

Danger:1. This device is water resistant only. Do not submerge in liquid and be careful to protect against seawater, chemicals or any other �uid. If your Yellow Jacket® gets thoroughly wet, do not use. Do not touch the internal parts; these are high-voltage circuits that could cause severe shock.2. Do not open, disassemble, or modify this device, as it may cause damage to the unit and create an unsafe condition for the user. For internal repairs, consult your Authorized Dealer.3. Keep away from �ammable material.4. Never store near hot objects, in direct sunlight or at a temperature above 140F.5. Electrodes are very sharp and could puncture skin.

Warning:1. Keep out of reach of children, & EDUCATE them about the nature of this case. This is NOT like any other smartphone case. This is NOT a toy. This is a self-defense tool/ weapon.2. Use only in a lawful manner.3. Check state and local laws for stun gun restrictions.4. Do not discharge this device in the air for more than two seconds at a time. Continu-ous “dry” �ring for a longer duration can damage the unit and void the warranty. 5.Yellow Jacket can only be sold to a person 18 years of age or older.

FAQ’s:

What is a Yellow Jacket® (Case)?Yellow Jacket® is the world’s �rst Smartphone stun gun case. Yellow Jacket® protects your phone, your assets & you! The case has 2 safety features that help to prevent accidental discharge while being easily and instantly deployable. The additional battery within Yellow Jacket® provides your phone an extra battery charge.

Aren’t stun guns illegal?Stun guns, also known as electroshock weapons, are legal in most of the world. Take the time to educate yourself on smart stun gun use by checking out your State and Local laws before possessing a Yellow Jacket®. To see a list of states and countries that ban stun guns visit: www.yellowjacketcase.com/support

Who can and cannot purchase a Yellow Jacket® Case? Stun guns are legal to own in most states by people 18 years of age and older. A handful of states require owners to prove that they are not convicted felons, while other states have bans on carrying stun guns at speci�c places such as schools, courthouses and other public buildings. California is the only state that requires your

stun gun to have a serial code on it.Many people think they know the legality and e�ects of stun guns without ever having done the research themselves. Don’t let these naysayers stop you from being protected legally.

What features does the Yellow Jacket® o˜ er that a typical smartphone case doesn’t?Yellow Jacket® provides three (3) main bene�ts not found in any other smartphone case: it protects the phone, provides a battery backup charge and conceals a high-voltage stun gun integrated for self-defense.

Can the Yellow Jacket® a˜ ect/harm my phone in any way?Yellow Jacket® has a special barrier that prevents any potential interference with the phone.

Can the Yellow Jacket® really charge my phone? Yellow Jacket® contains a charging dock that remains plugged in to your phone when the case is assembled and your phone is attached to it. When the charging button is depressed on the back of the device, power �ows through the dock into the phone.

Can I bring my Yellow Jacket® Case on my school’s campus?Every university and college is di�erent. Consult your school’s student handbook for its rules on defensive weapons.

Can I bring my Yellow Jacket® Case through an airport and onto a commercial plane?No, don’t try to do this unless you are prepared to have your Yellow Jacket® con�scated and you yourself detained. HOWEVER, you can safely package your Yellow Jacket® and place it into your checked baggage and put it back on your smartphone after you have left the airport once you have arrived at your destination. If you are �ying on a private plane, consult the airlines and sta� before getting on the plane with your Yellow Jacket®.

What are the e˜ ects of a shock from the Yellow Jacket®?Yellow Jacket® will cause moderate to severe pain and de�nite discomfort to the person it is used on. The stun gun shock’s severity depends greatly on where it is applied on the body and how long it is applied. We recommend for our customers to aim for the torso, rib cage, shoulder or lower neck area. Applying for the duration of 1-2 seconds will cause moderate, localized pain, 3-4 seconds will cause even more serious pain and

muscle spasms/contraction and 5 seconds plus has been known to cause an assailant to collapse and/or experience short term men- tal/physical confusion. With this said, Yellow Jacket® does not promise any of these e�ects at these speci�c time frames. Pain is a subjective term when an attempt is made to classify its intensity. In a self- defense application, anticipate a minimal e�ect on the attacker so you are prepared to a�ect your escape once the deployment of the Yellow Jacket® has created a temporary impairment for the attacker. Be prepared to exploit any opening to escape.

Overall e�ectiveness is determined by many other factors such as layers of clothing, weapons/close combat training undergone by the attacker and/ or victim, voltage of the stun gun and aggression/ physiological state of the attacker.

What is the di˜ erence between a taser and a stun gun?A lot of people use the term “taser” and “stun gun” interchangeably, but there are signi�cant di�erences between the two. Stun guns are contact weapons and must be applied at close range while Tasers propel tethered darts at the attacker using a compressed air cartridge. These darts stick into the skin via pronged barbs. Stun guns also have a lower amperage and higher voltage than tasers, which make them

intrinsically safer in case of an accidental discharge. Yellow Jacket® will cause moderate to severe localized pain and de�nite discomfort to the person it is used on. A stun gun shock’s severity depends greatly on where it is applied on the body and how long it is applied. Neither of these weapons is designed to kill under normal use.

Can my Yellow Jacket® be used to defend against canine attacks?Yes. It is not advisable to intentionally place yourself in a position of encouraging such an attack by an animal. It is best to avoid the areas where such an attack could take place. However, applying the Yellow Jacket® to the head, neck or ribcage of a dog will have a similar a�ect as when it is applied to a human. Extending the unit out in front of you and dry �ring a 1-2 second “burst,” will many times unnerve the dog as it will see the electric arc, hear the loud popping/ snapping sound and even smell the burning ozone from the high-voltage discharge. This may prevent such an attack from occurring. However, a determined or rabid animal will not easily be dissuaded so be prepared to apply the Yellow Jacket® to the attacking animal if needed.

Will the Yellow Jacket® Phone Case be releasing other devices that can be used on other Smartphone conÿgurations?Yes. Other Smartphone con�gurations are in the R&D process now. Our �rst Smartphone phone case designs were developed for the Apple® iPhone® cellular devices. We will soon be releasing our Android based designs as well.

Safety Guidelines:Yellow Jacket® has two (2) safety features to prevent accidental discharge.Safety Switch: This switch prevents the activator button from �ring the unit unless it is moved into the “ON” or up position.Stun Gun Activation Switch: This switch when slid into the forward position exposes the electrodes. The electrodes must be exposed in order for the device to �re. Do not extend or expose the electrodes unless you are prepared to use the device. This same switch/tab acts as the “trigger” to initiate the electrical discharge of the unit. Push and hold the Stun Gun Activation Switch downward (inward) with enough

pressure to activate (trigger) the Yellow Jacket® Phone Case.Placing the Yellow Jacket® in Safe or “Standby” Mode: Slide the Stun Gun Activation Switch backward (towards the base of the unit) to return the unit to SAFE or STANDBY mode. The electrodes will not be protruding from the top of the case when the unit has successfully been placed in SAFE or STANDBY mode. When the Yellow Jacket® is placed in this con�guration, it cannot be activated for electrical discharge and the electrodes are not visible, thus protecting them as well.

Technical notes about your case:• If your electrodes are engaged, you will see a bright blue and white current of electricity creating a continuous arc between the electrodes and a loud zapping or snapping sound. The arc between the electrodes can reach a half-inch high.• Charge Yellow Jacket® at least four (4) hours before use.• Battery performance is best if recharged only when the battery is at the lowest.• The Yellow Jacket® case will become warm while charging.• Charging at temperatures below 40 degrees Fahrenheit and higher than 100 degrees Fahrenheit adversely a�ects lifetime of batteries.• If the unit has not been used for at least two (2) months, it must be fully charged before use.

Reminder: Be sure to charge your case completely before charging your phone or powering your stun gun.

To Use in Self Defense:In order for any defensive tool to be e�ectively deployed, the user must remain vigilant and aware of their surroundings. Criminals target victims by assessing their vulnerability as well as their lack of situational awareness. Walk with a purpose. Avoid dark and dangerous looking areas. Continually scan your surroundings for danger. TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS.a. Hold your Yellow Jacket® Phone Case with a secure grip. You will most likely have it in your dominant hand as this is how you likely carry your phone. Standing in what is commonly identi�ed as a right-handed boxer’s stance (if you are right handed), hold your free hand in front of your body to parry, de�ect or block incoming blows from your attacker. Holding the Yellow Jacket® Phone Case in your dominant hand, prepare to activate the electrodes by pushing the discharge switch/button and holding it.b. Using moderate pressure, touch an attacker on the targeted areas of their body with the activated electrodes and apply until the attacker has recoiled from contact with the Yellow Jacket® Phone Case or you are able to �ee. Targeted areas of the attacker’s body that deployment of the Yellow Jacket® high-voltage electric discharge should be

directed at include the torso, throat, groin, face and spine. However, “targets of opportunity,” should not be ignored if presented. These targets could include the hands, forearms, armpits, eyes, neck, etc.c. To use as a deterrent, OR to send a warning signal in emergency situations, discharge the weapon with the electrodes facing the potential attacker/assailant. The Yellow Jacket® Phone Case is a CONTACT weapon. You must be determined in your defensive deployment of the device. DO NOT act in a timid fashion. Demonstrate strength and determination. You are in a �ght quite possibly for your life. Act like it!d. To return the Yellow Jacket® Phone Case to a safe condition, simply slide the Stun Gun Activation Switch back causing the electrodes to withdraw to a non-exposed, internal position. The Stun Gun Activation Switch will no longer be RED in color once it is deactivated and in safe standby mode.The methods provided are suggestions on how to defend yourself during an attack.

Yellow Jacket® is not responsible for the out- comes of using these methods. For more self-defense tips visit: www.yellowjacketcase.com/support

FAQ’s:

What is a Yellow Jacket® (Case)?Yellow Jacket® is the world’s �rst Smartphone stun gun case. Yellow Jacket® protects your phone, your assets & you! The case has 2 safety features that help to prevent accidental discharge while being easily and instantly deployable. The additional battery within Yellow Jacket® provides your phone an extra battery charge.

Aren’t stun guns illegal?Stun guns, also known as electroshock weapons, are legal in most of the world. Take the time to educate yourself on smart stun gun use by checking out your State and Local laws before possessing a Yellow Jacket®. To see a list of states and countries that ban stun guns visit: www.yellowjacketcase.com/support

Who can and cannot purchase a Yellow Jacket® Case? Stun guns are legal to own in most states by people 18 years of age and older. A handful of states require owners to prove that they are not convicted felons, while other states have bans on carrying stun guns at speci�c places such as schools, courthouses and other public buildings. California is the only state that requires your

stun gun to have a serial code on it.Many people think they know the legality and e�ects of stun guns without ever having done the research themselves. Don’t let these naysayers stop you from being protected legally.

What features does the Yellow Jacket® o˜ er that a typical smartphone case doesn’t?Yellow Jacket® provides three (3) main bene�ts not found in any other smartphone case: it protects the phone, provides a battery backup charge and conceals a high-voltage stun gun integrated for self-defense.

Can the Yellow Jacket® a˜ ect/harm my phone in any way?Yellow Jacket® has a special barrier that prevents any potential interference with the phone.

Can the Yellow Jacket® really charge my phone? Yellow Jacket® contains a charging dock that remains plugged in to your phone when the case is assembled and your phone is attached to it. When the charging button is depressed on the back of the device, power �ows through the dock into the phone.

Can I bring my Yellow Jacket® Case on my school’s campus?Every university and college is di�erent. Consult your school’s student handbook for its rules on defensive weapons.

Can I bring my Yellow Jacket® Case through an airport and onto a commercial plane?No, don’t try to do this unless you are prepared to have your Yellow Jacket® con�scated and you yourself detained. HOWEVER, you can safely package your Yellow Jacket® and place it into your checked baggage and put it back on your smartphone after you have left the airport once you have arrived at your destination. If you are �ying on a private plane, consult the airlines and sta� before getting on the plane with your Yellow Jacket®.

What are the e˜ ects of a shock from the Yellow Jacket®?Yellow Jacket® will cause moderate to severe pain and de�nite discomfort to the person it is used on. The stun gun shock’s severity depends greatly on where it is applied on the body and how long it is applied. We recommend for our customers to aim for the torso, rib cage, shoulder or lower neck area. Applying for the duration of 1-2 seconds will cause moderate, localized pain, 3-4 seconds will cause even more serious pain and

muscle spasms/contraction and 5 seconds plus has been known to cause an assailant to collapse and/or experience short term men- tal/physical confusion. With this said, Yellow Jacket® does not promise any of these e�ects at these speci�c time frames. Pain is a subjective term when an attempt is made to classify its intensity. In a self- defense application, anticipate a minimal e�ect on the attacker so you are prepared to a�ect your escape once the deployment of the Yellow Jacket® has created a temporary impairment for the attacker. Be prepared to exploit any opening to escape.

Overall e�ectiveness is determined by many other factors such as layers of clothing, weapons/close combat training undergone by the attacker and/ or victim, voltage of the stun gun and aggression/ physiological state of the attacker.

What is the di˜ erence between a taser and a stun gun?A lot of people use the term “taser” and “stun gun” interchangeably, but there are signi�cant di�erences between the two. Stun guns are contact weapons and must be applied at close range while Tasers propel tethered darts at the attacker using a compressed air cartridge. These darts stick into the skin via pronged barbs. Stun guns also have a lower amperage and higher voltage than tasers, which make them

intrinsically safer in case of an accidental discharge. Yellow Jacket® will cause moderate to severe localized pain and de�nite discomfort to the person it is used on. A stun gun shock’s severity depends greatly on where it is applied on the body and how long it is applied. Neither of these weapons is designed to kill under normal use.

Can my Yellow Jacket® be used to defend against canine attacks?Yes. It is not advisable to intentionally place yourself in a position of encouraging such an attack by an animal. It is best to avoid the areas where such an attack could take place. However, applying the Yellow Jacket® to the head, neck or ribcage of a dog will have a similar a�ect as when it is applied to a human. Extending the unit out in front of you and dry �ring a 1-2 second “burst,” will many times unnerve the dog as it will see the electric arc, hear the loud popping/ snapping sound and even smell the burning ozone from the high-voltage discharge. This may prevent such an attack from occurring. However, a determined or rabid animal will not easily be dissuaded so be prepared to apply the Yellow Jacket® to the attacking animal if needed.

Will the Yellow Jacket® Phone Case be releasing other devices that can be used on other Smartphone conÿgurations?Yes. Other Smartphone con�gurations are in the R&D process now. Our �rst Smartphone phone case designs were developed for the Apple® iPhone® cellular devices. We will soon be releasing our Android based designs as well.

1. Begin by removing the iPhone® case from the stun gun pack. To do this, depress case lock button and push vertically (up). The case will unlock from the base and move upwards about an inch.2. Pull the case away from the base in the opposite, horizontal direction. The case will depart from the stun gun base at a 45° angle.3. Place your iPhone® into the protective TPU case. Do this by gently pulling the sides away from the case while maneuvering the iPhone® into place.

4. Once in place, lock your iPhone® and TPU case into the stun gun pack by aligning the bottom of the slots on the iPhone® case with the locking piers that extrude from the stun gun base, place the two together, and then move the iPhone® case down until it �rmly sits completely �ush along the bottom of the iPhone® Lightning® connector charging dock.5. To test this �t, turn on the battery charger on the stun gun case. If the iPhone® begins to charge, the case is assembled and ready to go.6. To disassemble, repeat steps 1 and 2.

Charging your Yellow Jacket® On-Board Battery:To charge your Yellow Jacket®, perform the following steps:1. Make sure the unit is in the Power-o� position (safety switch is DOWN) during charging.2. While the device is charging, the LED lights on the back of the case will pulsate through their cycle. Once the device is fully charged all four of the LED lights will glow a solid color. Charge for approximately four (4) hours.3. To charge your Smartphone without removing it from the Yellow Jacket® device, move the safety switch to the standby position. Check your Smartphone battery charging indicator for feedback as to its battery disposition.

Charging your phone with the Yellow Jacket® Back- up Battery:

Initiate the charge function by pressing the LED check indicator button twice on the back of the case, located near the LED lights. When your phone is actively charging, the LED lights will stay on and you should see a charging symbol initiate on your phone home screen. The LED lights will stay on as your phone charges. To turn o� the phone charging function, double click the button again.

Indicators:STUN-READY INDICATOR: When the Stun Gun Activation Switch is moved forward to the stun-ready position, the RED light will glow through the switch/tab, indicating the Yellow Jacket® is ready to be discharged.

CHARGING INDICATOR: When you charge the Yellow Jacket®, the LED charging indicators will pulsate or cycle through the four LED indicators located on the back of the device. When fully charged, all four LED lights shall remain on.

How to check your Yellow Jacket® battery:

1. Press the battery meter button on the lower back portion of Yellow Jacket® stun gun.2. Notice the (4) LED lights beside the battery meter button. From left to right, they indicate the battery charge level.3. The �rst four battery level lights will turn on, indicating the quarter of battery charge it represents that remains. For example, if 2 of the 4 lights come on, that means your case still has 50 percent of the charge remaining.4. You can repeat this throughout the day to see how much battery you can deliver to charge your iPhone®.5. There is a reserve charge for the stun gun, meaning it will work for a short duration even if the battery charge runs out and it no longer charges the iPhone®. (We recom-mend charging the case before this occurs)

How to Use the Stun Gun:1. Turn on Yellow Jacket® by pushing the Safety Switch to Stun-Ready Position (UP Position). As the Stun- Ready Safety Switch is slid FORWARD, it will expose a RED DOT that indicates the unit is powered up and ready for use.2. Push the Stun Gun Activation Switch forward to expose the two electrodes at the top of the Yellow Jacket® Case. When the

switch is pushed into the forward position, the switch will light up RED, thus indicating the unit is ready to be discharged.3. “Push DOWN and Hold” the Stun Gun Activation Switch/ Button to discharge the unit. The unit will continue to discharge electricity as long as the switch/ button is depressed.4. DO NOT PLACE YOUR HAND NEAR THE CONTACT ELECTRODES OR YOU MAY RECEIVE A STRONG SHOCK!

Warning: DO NOT �re the case in the air for more than 2 seconds, unless applying your Yellow Jacket® against an attacker. This is known as dry �ring and can cause irreversible, warranty-voiding damage to yourYellow Jacket®.

Safety Guidelines:Yellow Jacket® has two (2) safety features to prevent accidental discharge.Safety Switch: This switch prevents the activator button from �ring the unit unless it is moved into the “ON” or up position.Stun Gun Activation Switch: This switch when slid into the forward position exposes the electrodes. The electrodes must be exposed in order for the device to �re. Do not extend or expose the electrodes unless you are prepared to use the device. This same switch/tab acts as the “trigger” to initiate the electrical discharge of the unit. Push and hold the Stun Gun Activation Switch downward (inward) with enough

pressure to activate (trigger) the Yellow Jacket® Phone Case.Placing the Yellow Jacket® in Safe or “Standby” Mode: Slide the Stun Gun Activation Switch backward (towards the base of the unit) to return the unit to SAFE or STANDBY mode. The electrodes will not be protruding from the top of the case when the unit has successfully been placed in SAFE or STANDBY mode. When the Yellow Jacket® is placed in this con�guration, it cannot be activated for electrical discharge and the electrodes are not visible, thus protecting them as well.

Technical notes about your case:• If your electrodes are engaged, you will see a bright blue and white current of electricity creating a continuous arc between the electrodes and a loud zapping or snapping sound. The arc between the electrodes can reach a half-inch high.• Charge Yellow Jacket® at least four (4) hours before use.• Battery performance is best if recharged only when the battery is at the lowest.• The Yellow Jacket® case will become warm while charging.• Charging at temperatures below 40 degrees Fahrenheit and higher than 100 degrees Fahrenheit adversely a�ects lifetime of batteries.• If the unit has not been used for at least two (2) months, it must be fully charged before use.

Reminder: Be sure to charge your case completely before charging your phone or powering your stun gun.

To Use in Self Defense:In order for any defensive tool to be e�ectively deployed, the user must remain vigilant and aware of their surroundings. Criminals target victims by assessing their vulnerability as well as their lack of situational awareness. Walk with a purpose. Avoid dark and dangerous looking areas. Continually scan your surroundings for danger. TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS.a. Hold your Yellow Jacket® Phone Case with a secure grip. You will most likely have it in your dominant hand as this is how you likely carry your phone. Standing in what is commonly identi�ed as a right-handed boxer’s stance (if you are right handed), hold your free hand in front of your body to parry, de�ect or block incoming blows from your attacker. Holding the Yellow Jacket® Phone Case in your dominant hand, prepare to activate the electrodes by pushing the discharge switch/button and holding it.b. Using moderate pressure, touch an attacker on the targeted areas of their body with the activated electrodes and apply until the attacker has recoiled from contact with the Yellow Jacket® Phone Case or you are able to �ee. Targeted areas of the attacker’s body that deployment of the Yellow Jacket® high-voltage electric discharge should be

directed at include the torso, throat, groin, face and spine. However, “targets of opportunity,” should not be ignored if presented. These targets could include the hands, forearms, armpits, eyes, neck, etc.c. To use as a deterrent, OR to send a warning signal in emergency situations, discharge the weapon with the electrodes facing the potential attacker/assailant. The Yellow Jacket® Phone Case is a CONTACT weapon. You must be determined in your defensive deployment of the device. DO NOT act in a timid fashion. Demonstrate strength and determination. You are in a �ght quite possibly for your life. Act like it!d. To return the Yellow Jacket® Phone Case to a safe condition, simply slide the Stun Gun Activation Switch back causing the electrodes to withdraw to a non-exposed, internal position. The Stun Gun Activation Switch will no longer be RED in color once it is deactivated and in safe standby mode.The methods provided are suggestions on how to defend yourself during an attack.

Yellow Jacket® is not responsible for the out- comes of using these methods. For more self-defense tips visit: www.yellowjacketcase.com/support

Target Areas:The approximately 7,000,000 volt electrical discharge is e�ective on any part of the body but most e�ective when aimed at the neck, pelvis, sternum, throat, face, groin, spine and ribs.

Danger:1. This device is water resistant only. Do not submerge in liquid and be careful to protect against seawater, chemicals or any other �uid. If your Yellow Jacket® gets thoroughly wet, do not use. Do not touch the internal parts; these are high-voltage circuits that could cause severe shock.2. Do not open, disassemble, or modify this device, as it may cause damage to the unit and create an unsafe condition for the user. For internal repairs, consult your Authorized Dealer.3. Keep away from �ammable material.4. Never store near hot objects, in direct sunlight or at a temperature above 140F.5. Electrodes are very sharp and could puncture skin.

Warning:1. Keep out of reach of children, & EDUCATE them about the nature of this case. This is NOT like any other smartphone case. This is NOT a toy. This is a self-defense tool/ weapon.2. Use only in a lawful manner.3. Check state and local laws for stun gun restrictions.4. Do not discharge this device in the air for more than two seconds at a time. Continu-ous “dry” �ring for a longer duration can damage the unit and void the warranty. 5.Yellow Jacket can only be sold to a person 18 years of age or older.

Safety Guidelines:Yellow Jacket® has two (2) safety features to prevent accidental discharge.Safety Switch: This switch prevents the activator button from �ring the unit unless it is moved into the “ON” or up position.Stun Gun Activation Switch: This switch when slid into the forward position exposes the electrodes. The electrodes must be exposed in order for the device to �re. Do not extend or expose the electrodes unless you are prepared to use the device. This same switch/tab acts as the “trigger” to initiate the electrical discharge of the unit. Push and hold the Stun Gun Activation Switch downward (inward) with enough

pressure to activate (trigger) the Yellow Jacket® Phone Case.Placing the Yellow Jacket® in Safe or “Standby” Mode: Slide the Stun Gun Activation Switch backward (towards the base of the unit) to return the unit to SAFE or STANDBY mode. The electrodes will not be protruding from the top of the case when the unit has successfully been placed in SAFE or STANDBY mode. When the Yellow Jacket® is placed in this con�guration, it cannot be activated for electrical discharge and the electrodes are not visible, thus protecting them as well.

Technical notes about your case:• If your electrodes are engaged, you will see a bright blue and white current of electricity creating a continuous arc between the electrodes and a loud zapping or snapping sound. The arc between the electrodes can reach a half-inch high.• Charge Yellow Jacket® at least four (4) hours before use.• Battery performance is best if recharged only when the battery is at the lowest.• The Yellow Jacket® case will become warm while charging.• Charging at temperatures below 40 degrees Fahrenheit and higher than 100 degrees Fahrenheit adversely a�ects lifetime of batteries.• If the unit has not been used for at least two (2) months, it must be fully charged before use.

Reminder: Be sure to charge your case completely before charging your phone or powering your stun gun.

To Use in Self Defense:In order for any defensive tool to be e�ectively deployed, the user must remain vigilant and aware of their surroundings. Criminals target victims by assessing their vulnerability as well as their lack of situational awareness. Walk with a purpose. Avoid dark and dangerous looking areas. Continually scan your surroundings for danger. TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS.a. Hold your Yellow Jacket® Phone Case with a secure grip. You will most likely have it in your dominant hand as this is how you likely carry your phone. Standing in what is commonly identi�ed as a right-handed boxer’s stance (if you are right handed), hold your free hand in front of your body to parry, de�ect or block incoming blows from your attacker. Holding the Yellow Jacket® Phone Case in your dominant hand, prepare to activate the electrodes by pushing the discharge switch/button and holding it.b. Using moderate pressure, touch an attacker on the targeted areas of their body with the activated electrodes and apply until the attacker has recoiled from contact with the Yellow Jacket® Phone Case or you are able to �ee. Targeted areas of the attacker’s body that deployment of the Yellow Jacket® high-voltage electric discharge should be

directed at include the torso, throat, groin, face and spine. However, “targets of opportunity,” should not be ignored if presented. These targets could include the hands, forearms, armpits, eyes, neck, etc.c. To use as a deterrent, OR to send a warning signal in emergency situations, discharge the weapon with the electrodes facing the potential attacker/assailant. The Yellow Jacket® Phone Case is a CONTACT weapon. You must be determined in your defensive deployment of the device. DO NOT act in a timid fashion. Demonstrate strength and determination. You are in a �ght quite possibly for your life. Act like it!d. To return the Yellow Jacket® Phone Case to a safe condition, simply slide the Stun Gun Activation Switch back causing the electrodes to withdraw to a non-exposed, internal position. The Stun Gun Activation Switch will no longer be RED in color once it is deactivated and in safe standby mode.The methods provided are suggestions on how to defend yourself during an attack.

Yellow Jacket® is not responsible for the out- comes of using these methods. For more self-defense tips visit: www.yellowjacketcase.com/support

Target Areas:The approximately 7,000,000 volt electrical discharge is e�ective on any part of the body but most e�ective when aimed at the neck, pelvis, sternum, throat, face, groin, spine and ribs.

Danger:1. This device is water resistant only. Do not submerge in liquid and be careful to protect against seawater, chemicals or any other �uid. If your Yellow Jacket® gets thoroughly wet, do not use. Do not touch the internal parts; these are high-voltage circuits that could cause severe shock.2. Do not open, disassemble, or modify this device, as it may cause damage to the unit and create an unsafe condition for the user. For internal repairs, consult your Authorized Dealer.3. Keep away from �ammable material.4. Never store near hot objects, in direct sunlight or at a temperature above 140F.5. Electrodes are very sharp and could puncture skin.

Warning:1. Keep out of reach of children, & EDUCATE them about the nature of this case. This is NOT like any other smartphone case. This is NOT a toy. This is a self-defense tool/ weapon.2. Use only in a lawful manner.3. Check state and local laws for stun gun restrictions.4. Do not discharge this device in the air for more than two seconds at a time. Continu-ous “dry” �ring for a longer duration can damage the unit and void the warranty. 5.Yellow Jacket can only be sold to a person 18 years of age or older.

FAQ’s:

What is a Yellow Jacket® (Case)?Yellow Jacket® is the world’s �rst Smartphone stun gun case. Yellow Jacket® protects your phone, your assets & you! The case has 2 safety features that help to prevent accidental discharge while being easily and instantly deployable. The additional battery within Yellow Jacket® provides your phone an extra battery charge.

Aren’t stun guns illegal?Stun guns, also known as electroshock weapons, are legal in most of the world. Take the time to educate yourself on smart stun gun use by checking out your State and Local laws before possessing a Yellow Jacket®. To see a list of states and countries that ban stun guns visit: www.yellowjacketcase.com/support

Who can and cannot purchase a Yellow Jacket® Case? Stun guns are legal to own in most states by people 18 years of age and older. A handful of states require owners to prove that they are not convicted felons, while other states have bans on carrying stun guns at speci�c places such as schools, courthouses and other public buildings. California is the only state that requires your

stun gun to have a serial code on it.Many people think they know the legality and e�ects of stun guns without ever having done the research themselves. Don’t let these naysayers stop you from being protected legally.

What features does the Yellow Jacket® o˜ er that a typical smartphone case doesn’t?Yellow Jacket® provides three (3) main bene�ts not found in any other smartphone case: it protects the phone, provides a battery backup charge and conceals a high-voltage stun gun integrated for self-defense.

Can the Yellow Jacket® a˜ ect/harm my phone in any way?Yellow Jacket® has a special barrier that prevents any potential interference with the phone.

Can the Yellow Jacket® really charge my phone? Yellow Jacket® contains a charging dock that remains plugged in to your phone when the case is assembled and your phone is attached to it. When the charging button is depressed on the back of the device, power �ows through the dock into the phone.

Can I bring my Yellow Jacket® Case on my school’s campus?Every university and college is di�erent. Consult your school’s student handbook for its rules on defensive weapons.

Can I bring my Yellow Jacket® Case through an airport and onto a commercial plane?No, don’t try to do this unless you are prepared to have your Yellow Jacket® con�scated and you yourself detained. HOWEVER, you can safely package your Yellow Jacket® and place it into your checked baggage and put it back on your smartphone after you have left the airport once you have arrived at your destination. If you are �ying on a private plane, consult the airlines and sta� before getting on the plane with your Yellow Jacket®.

What are the e˜ ects of a shock from the Yellow Jacket®?Yellow Jacket® will cause moderate to severe pain and de�nite discomfort to the person it is used on. The stun gun shock’s severity depends greatly on where it is applied on the body and how long it is applied. We recommend for our customers to aim for the torso, rib cage, shoulder or lower neck area. Applying for the duration of 1-2 seconds will cause moderate, localized pain, 3-4 seconds will cause even more serious pain and

muscle spasms/contraction and 5 seconds plus has been known to cause an assailant to collapse and/or experience short term men- tal/physical confusion. With this said, Yellow Jacket® does not promise any of these e�ects at these speci�c time frames. Pain is a subjective term when an attempt is made to classify its intensity. In a self- defense application, anticipate a minimal e�ect on the attacker so you are prepared to a�ect your escape once the deployment of the Yellow Jacket® has created a temporary impairment for the attacker. Be prepared to exploit any opening to escape.

Overall e�ectiveness is determined by many other factors such as layers of clothing, weapons/close combat training undergone by the attacker and/ or victim, voltage of the stun gun and aggression/ physiological state of the attacker.

What is the di˜ erence between a taser and a stun gun?A lot of people use the term “taser” and “stun gun” interchangeably, but there are signi�cant di�erences between the two. Stun guns are contact weapons and must be applied at close range while Tasers propel tethered darts at the attacker using a compressed air cartridge. These darts stick into the skin via pronged barbs. Stun guns also have a lower amperage and higher voltage than tasers, which make them

intrinsically safer in case of an accidental discharge. Yellow Jacket® will cause moderate to severe localized pain and de�nite discomfort to the person it is used on. A stun gun shock’s severity depends greatly on where it is applied on the body and how long it is applied. Neither of these weapons is designed to kill under normal use.

Can my Yellow Jacket® be used to defend against canine attacks?Yes. It is not advisable to intentionally place yourself in a position of encouraging such an attack by an animal. It is best to avoid the areas where such an attack could take place. However, applying the Yellow Jacket® to the head, neck or ribcage of a dog will have a similar a�ect as when it is applied to a human. Extending the unit out in front of you and dry �ring a 1-2 second “burst,” will many times unnerve the dog as it will see the electric arc, hear the loud popping/ snapping sound and even smell the burning ozone from the high-voltage discharge. This may prevent such an attack from occurring. However, a determined or rabid animal will not easily be dissuaded so be prepared to apply the Yellow Jacket® to the attacking animal if needed.

Will the Yellow Jacket® Phone Case be releasing other devices that can be used on other Smartphone conÿgurations?Yes. Other Smartphone con�gurations are in the R&D process now. Our �rst Smartphone phone case designs were developed for the Apple® iPhone® cellular devices. We will soon be releasing our Android based designs as well.

What is the di˜ erence between a taser and a stun gun?A lot of people use the term “taser” and “stun gun” interchangeably, but there are signi�cant di�erences between the two. Stun guns are contact weapons and must be applied at close range while Tasers propel tethered darts at the attacker using a compressed air cartridge. These darts stick into the skin via pronged barbs. Stun guns also have a lower amperage and higher voltage than tasers, which make them

intrinsically safer in case of an accidental discharge. Yellow Jacket® will cause moderate to severe localized pain and de�nite discomfort to the person it is used on. A stun gun shock’s severity depends greatly on where it is applied on the body and how long it is applied. Neither of these weapons is designed to kill under normal use.

Can my Yellow Jacket® be used to defend against canine attacks?Yes. It is not advisable to intentionally place yourself in a position of encouraging such an attack by an animal. It is best to avoid the areas where such an attack could take place. However, applying the Yellow Jacket® to the head, neck or ribcage of a dog will have a similar a�ect as when it is applied to a human. Extending the unit out in front of you and dry �ring a 1-2 second “burst,” will many times unnerve the dog as it will see the electric arc, hear the loud popping/ snapping sound and even smell the burning ozone from the high-voltage discharge. This may prevent such an attack from occurring. However, a determined or rabid animal will not easily be dissuaded so be prepared to apply the Yellow Jacket® to the attacking animal if needed.

Will the Yellow Jacket® Phone Case be releasing other devices that can be used on other Smartphone conÿgurations?Yes. Other Smartphone con�gurations are in the R&D process now. Our �rst Smartphone phone case designs were developed for the Apple® iPhone® cellular devices. We will soon be releasing our Android based designs as well.

4. Once in place, lock your iPhone® and TPU case into the stun gun pack by aligning the bottom of the slots on the iPhone® case with the locking piers that extrude from the stun gun base, place the two together, and then move the iPhone® case down until it �rmly sits completely �ush along the bottom of the iPhone® Lightning® connector charging dock.5. To test this �t, turn on the battery charger on the stun gun case. If the iPhone® begins to charge, the case is assembled and ready to go.6. To disassemble, repeat steps 1 and 2.

Charging your Yellow Jacket® On-Board Battery:To charge your Yellow Jacket®, perform the following steps:1. Make sure the unit is in the Power-o� position (safety switch is DOWN) during charging.2. While the device is charging, the LED lights on the back of the case will pulsate through their cycle. Once the device is fully charged all four of the LED lights will glow a solid color. Charge for approximately four (4) hours.3. To charge your Smartphone without removing it from the Yellow Jacket® device, move the safety switch to the standby position. Check your Smartphone battery charging indicator for feedback as to its battery disposition.

Charging your phone with the Yellow Jacket® Back- up Battery:

Initiate the charge function by pressing the LED check indicator button twice on the back of the case, located near the LED lights. When your phone is actively charging, the LED lights will stay on and you should see a charging symbol initiate on your phone home screen. The LED lights will stay on as your phone charges. To turn o� the phone charging function, double click the button again.

Indicators:STUN-READY INDICATOR: When the Stun Gun Activation Switch is moved forward to the stun-ready position, the RED light will glow through the switch/tab, indicating the Yellow Jacket® is ready to be discharged.

CHARGING INDICATOR: When you charge the Yellow Jacket®, the LED charging indicators will pulsate or cycle through the four LED indicators located on the back of the device. When fully charged, all four LED lights shall remain on.

How to check your Yellow Jacket® battery:

1. Press the battery meter button on the lower back portion of Yellow Jacket® stun gun.2. Notice the (4) LED lights beside the battery meter button. From left to right, they indicate the battery charge level.3. The �rst four battery level lights will turn on, indicating the quarter of battery charge it represents that remains. For example, if 2 of the 4 lights come on, that means your case still has 50 percent of the charge remaining.4. You can repeat this throughout the day to see how much battery you can deliver to charge your iPhone®.5. There is a reserve charge for the stun gun, meaning it will work for a short duration even if the battery charge runs out and it no longer charges the iPhone®. (We recom-mend charging the case before this occurs)

How to Use the Stun Gun:1. Turn on Yellow Jacket® by pushing the Safety Switch to Stun-Ready Position (UP Position). As the Stun- Ready Safety Switch is slid FORWARD, it will expose a RED DOT that indicates the unit is powered up and ready for use.2. Push the Stun Gun Activation Switch forward to expose the two electrodes at the top of the Yellow Jacket® Case. When the

switch is pushed into the forward position, the switch will light up RED, thus indicating the unit is ready to be discharged.3. “Push DOWN and Hold” the Stun Gun Activation Switch/ Button to discharge the unit. The unit will continue to discharge electricity as long as the switch/ button is depressed.4. DO NOT PLACE YOUR HAND NEAR THE CONTACT ELECTRODES OR YOU MAY RECEIVE A STRONG SHOCK!

Warning: DO NOT �re the case in the air for more than 2 seconds, unless applying your Yellow Jacket® against an attacker. This is known as dry �ring and can cause irreversible, warranty-voiding damage to yourYellow Jacket®.

Safety Guidelines:Yellow Jacket® has two (2) safety features to prevent accidental discharge.Safety Switch: This switch prevents the activator button from �ring the unit unless it is moved into the “ON” or up position.Stun Gun Activation Switch: This switch when slid into the forward position exposes the electrodes. The electrodes must be exposed in order for the device to �re. Do not extend or expose the electrodes unless you are prepared to use the device. This same switch/tab acts as the “trigger” to initiate the electrical discharge of the unit. Push and hold the Stun Gun Activation Switch downward (inward) with enough

pressure to activate (trigger) the Yellow Jacket® Phone Case.Placing the Yellow Jacket® in Safe or “Standby” Mode: Slide the Stun Gun Activation Switch backward (towards the base of the unit) to return the unit to SAFE or STANDBY mode. The electrodes will not be protruding from the top of the case when the unit has successfully been placed in SAFE or STANDBY mode. When the Yellow Jacket® is placed in this con�guration, it cannot be activated for electrical discharge and the electrodes are not visible, thus protecting them as well.

Technical notes about your case:• If your electrodes are engaged, you will see a bright blue and white current of electricity creating a continuous arc between the electrodes and a loud zapping or snapping sound. The arc between the electrodes can reach a half-inch high.• Charge Yellow Jacket® at least four (4) hours before use.• Battery performance is best if recharged only when the battery is at the lowest.• The Yellow Jacket® case will become warm while charging.• Charging at temperatures below 40 degrees Fahrenheit and higher than 100 degrees Fahrenheit adversely a�ects lifetime of batteries.• If the unit has not been used for at least two (2) months, it must be fully charged before use.

Reminder: Be sure to charge your case completely before charging your phone or powering your stun gun.

To Use in Self Defense:In order for any defensive tool to be e�ectively deployed, the user must remain vigilant and aware of their surroundings. Criminals target victims by assessing their vulnerability as well as their lack of situational awareness. Walk with a purpose. Avoid dark and dangerous looking areas. Continually scan your surroundings for danger. TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS.a. Hold your Yellow Jacket® Phone Case with a secure grip. You will most likely have it in your dominant hand as this is how you likely carry your phone. Standing in what is commonly identi�ed as a right-handed boxer’s stance (if you are right handed), hold your free hand in front of your body to parry, de�ect or block incoming blows from your attacker. Holding the Yellow Jacket® Phone Case in your dominant hand, prepare to activate the electrodes by pushing the discharge switch/button and holding it.b. Using moderate pressure, touch an attacker on the targeted areas of their body with the activated electrodes and apply until the attacker has recoiled from contact with the Yellow Jacket® Phone Case or you are able to �ee. Targeted areas of the attacker’s body that deployment of the Yellow Jacket® high-voltage electric discharge should be

directed at include the torso, throat, groin, face and spine. However, “targets of opportunity,” should not be ignored if presented. These targets could include the hands, forearms, armpits, eyes, neck, etc.c. To use as a deterrent, OR to send a warning signal in emergency situations, discharge the weapon with the electrodes facing the potential attacker/assailant. The Yellow Jacket® Phone Case is a CONTACT weapon. You must be determined in your defensive deployment of the device. DO NOT act in a timid fashion. Demonstrate strength and determination. You are in a �ght quite possibly for your life. Act like it!d. To return the Yellow Jacket® Phone Case to a safe condition, simply slide the Stun Gun Activation Switch back causing the electrodes to withdraw to a non-exposed, internal position. The Stun Gun Activation Switch will no longer be RED in color once it is deactivated and in safe standby mode.The methods provided are suggestions on how to defend yourself during an attack.

Yellow Jacket® is not responsible for the out- comes of using these methods. For more self-defense tips visit: www.yellowjacketcase.com/support

Target Areas:The approximately 7,000,000 volt electrical discharge is e�ective on any part of the body but most e�ective when aimed at the neck, pelvis, sternum, throat, face, groin, spine and ribs.

Danger:1. This device is water resistant only. Do not submerge in liquid and be careful to protect against seawater, chemicals or any other �uid. If your Yellow Jacket® gets thoroughly wet, do not use. Do not touch the internal parts; these are high-voltage circuits that could cause severe shock.2. Do not open, disassemble, or modify this device, as it may cause damage to the unit and create an unsafe condition for the user. For internal repairs, consult your Authorized Dealer.3. Keep away from �ammable material.4. Never store near hot objects, in direct sunlight or at a temperature above 140F.5. Electrodes are very sharp and could puncture skin.

Warning:1. Keep out of reach of children, & EDUCATE them about the nature of this case. This is NOT like any other smartphone case. This is NOT a toy. This is a self-defense tool/ weapon.2. Use only in a lawful manner.3. Check state and local laws for stun gun restrictions.4. Do not discharge this device in the air for more than two seconds at a time.

To see a list of states and countries that ban stun guns visit: www.yellowjacketcase.com/support

Who can and cannot purchase a Yellow Jacket® Case? Stun guns are legal to own in most states by people 18 years of age and older. A handful of states require owners to prove that they are not convicted felons, while other states have bans on carrying stun guns at speci�c places such as schools, courthouses and other public buildings. California is the only state that requires your

stun gun to have a serial code on it.Many people think they know the legality and e�ects of stun guns without ever having done the research themselves. Don’t let these naysayers stop you from being protected legally.

What features does the Yellow Jacket® o˜ er that a typical smartphone case doesn’t?Yellow Jacket® provides three (3) main bene�ts not found in any other smartphone case: it protects the phone, provides a battery backup charge and conceals a high-voltage stun gun integrated for self-defense.

Can the Yellow Jacket® a˜ ect/harm my phone in any way?Yellow Jacket® has a special barrier that prevents any potential interference with the phone.

Can the Yellow Jacket® really charge my phone? Yellow Jacket® contains a charging dock that remains plugged in to your phone when the case is assembled and your phone is attached to it. When the charging button is depressed on the back of the device, power �ows through the dock into the phone.

HOWEVER, you can safely package your Yellow Jacket® and place it into your checked baggage and put it back on your smartphone after you have left the airport once you have arrived at your destination. If you are �ying on a private plane, consult the airlines and sta� before getting on the plane with your Yellow Jacket®.

What are the e˜ ects of a shock from the Yellow Jacket®?Yellow Jacket® will cause moderate to severe pain and de�nite discomfort to the person it is used on. The stun gun shock’s severity depends greatly on where it is applied on the body and how long it is applied. We recommend for our customers to aim for the torso, rib cage, shoulder or lower neck area. Applying for the duration of 1-2 seconds will cause moderate, localized pain, 3-4 seconds will cause even more serious pain and

muscle spasms/contraction and 5 seconds plus has been known to cause an assailant to collapse and/or experience short term men- tal/physical confusion. With this said, Yellow Jacket® does not promise any of these e�ects at these speci�c time frames. Pain is a subjective term when an attempt is made to classify its intensity. In a self- defense application, anticipate a minimal e�ect on the attacker so you are prepared to a�ect your escape once the deployment of the Yellow Jacket® has created a temporary impairment for the attacker. Be prepared to exploit any opening to escape.

Overall e�ectiveness is determined by many other factors such as layers of clothing, weapons/close combat training undergone by the attacker and/ or victim, voltage of the stun gun and aggression/ physiological state of the attacker.

What is the di˜ erence between a taser and a stun gun?A lot of people use the term “taser” and “stun gun” interchangeably, but there are signi�cant di�erences between the two.

FAQ’s:

What is a Yellow Jacket® (Case)?Yellow Jacket® is the world’s �rst Smartphone stun gun case. Yellow Jacket® protects your phone, your assets & you! The case has 2 safety features that help to prevent accidental discharge while being easily and instantly deployable. The additional battery within Yellow Jacket® provides your phone an extra battery charge.

Aren’t stun guns illegal?Stun guns, also known as electroshock weapons, are legal in most of the world. Take the time to educate yourself on smart stun gun use by checking out your State and Local laws before possessing a Yellow Jacket®. To see a list of states and countries that ban stun guns visit: www.yellowjacketcase.com/support

Who can and cannot purchase a Yellow Jacket® Case? Stun guns are legal to own in most states by people 18 years of age and older. A handful of states require owners to prove that they are not convicted felons, while other states have bans on carrying stun guns at speci�c places such as schools, courthouses and other public buildings. California is the only state that requires your

stun gun to have a serial code on it.Many people think they know the legality and e�ects of stun guns without ever having done the research themselves. Don’t let these naysayers stop you from being protected legally.

What features does the Yellow Jacket® o˜ er that a typical smartphone case doesn’t?Yellow Jacket® provides three (3) main bene�ts not found in any other smartphone case: it protects the phone, provides a battery backup charge and conceals a high-voltage stun gun integrated for self-defense.

Can the Yellow Jacket® a˜ ect/harm my phone in any way?Yellow Jacket® has a special barrier that prevents any potential interference with the phone.

Can the Yellow Jacket® really charge my phone? Yellow Jacket® contains a charging dock that remains plugged in to your phone when the case is assembled and your phone is attached to it. When the charging button is depressed on the back of the device, power �ows through the dock into the phone.

Can I bring my Yellow Jacket® Case on my school’s campus?Every university and college is di�erent. Consult your school’s student handbook for its rules on defensive weapons.

Can I bring my Yellow Jacket® Case through an airport and onto a commercial plane?No, don’t try to do this unless you are prepared to have your Yellow Jacket® con�scated and you yourself detained. HOWEVER, you can safely package your Yellow Jacket® and place it into your checked baggage and put it back on your smartphone after you have left the airport once you have arrived at your destination. If you are �ying on a private plane, consult the airlines and sta� before getting on the plane with your Yellow Jacket®.

What are the e˜ ects of a shock from the Yellow Jacket®?Yellow Jacket® will cause moderate to severe pain and de�nite discomfort to the person it is used on. The stun gun shock’s severity depends greatly on where it is applied on the body and how long it is applied. We recommend for our customers to aim for the torso, rib cage, shoulder or lower neck area. Applying for the duration of 1-2 seconds will cause moderate, localized pain, 3-4 seconds will cause even more serious pain and

muscle spasms/contraction and 5 seconds plus has been known to cause an assailant to collapse and/or experience short term men- tal/physical confusion. With this said, Yellow Jacket® does not promise any of these e�ects at these speci�c time frames. Pain is a subjective term when an attempt is made to classify its intensity. In a self- defense application, anticipate a minimal e�ect on the attacker so you are prepared to a�ect your escape once the deployment of the Yellow Jacket® has created a temporary impairment for the attacker. Be prepared to exploit any opening to escape.

Overall e�ectiveness is determined by many other factors such as layers of clothing, weapons/close combat training undergone by the attacker and/ or victim, voltage of the stun gun and aggression/ physiological state of the attacker.

What is the di˜ erence between a taser and a stun gun?A lot of people use the term “taser” and “stun gun” interchangeably, but there are signi�cant di�erences between the two. Stun guns are contact weapons and must be applied at close range while Tasers propel tethered darts at the attacker using a compressed air cartridge. These darts stick into the skin via pronged barbs. Stun guns also have a lower amperage and higher voltage than tasers, which make them

intrinsically safer in case of an accidental discharge. Yellow Jacket® will cause moderate to severe localized pain and de�nite discomfort to the person it is used on. A stun gun shock’s severity depends greatly on where it is applied on the body and how long it is applied. Neither of these weapons is designed to kill under normal use.

Can my Yellow Jacket® be used to defend against canine attacks?Yes. It is not advisable to intentionally place yourself in a position of encouraging such an attack by an animal. It is best to avoid the areas where such an attack could take place. However, applying the Yellow Jacket® to the head, neck or ribcage of a dog will have a similar a�ect as when it is applied to a human. Extending the unit out in front of you and dry �ring a 1-2 second “burst,” will many times unnerve the dog as it will see the electric arc, hear the loud popping/ snapping sound and even smell the burning ozone from the high-voltage discharge. This may prevent such an attack from occurring. However, a determined or rabid animal will not easily be dissuaded so be prepared to apply the Yellow Jacket® to the attacking animal if needed.

Will the Yellow Jacket® Phone Case be releasing other devices that can be used on other Smartphone conÿgurations?Yes. Other Smartphone con�gurations are in the R&D process now. Our �rst Smartphone phone case designs were developed for the Apple® iPhone® cellular devices. We will soon be releasing our Android based designs as well.

How to assemble & disassemble your case:To view a step by step demonstration video visit www.yellowjacketcase.com/support.

1. Begin by removing the iPhone® case from the stun gun pack. To do this, depress case lock button and push vertically (up). The case will unlock from the base and move upwards about an inch.2. Pull the case away from the base in the opposite, horizontal direction. The case will depart from the stun gun base at a 45° angle.3. Place your iPhone® into the protective TPU case. Do this by gently pulling the sides away from the case while maneuvering the iPhone® into place.

4. Once in place, lock your iPhone® and TPU case into the stun gun pack by aligning the bottom of the slots on the iPhone® case with the locking piers that extrude from the stun gun base, place the two together, and then move the iPhone® case down until it �rmly sits completely �ush along the bottom of the iPhone® Lightning® connector charging dock.5. To test this �t, turn on the battery charger on the stun gun case. If the iPhone® begins to charge, the case is assembled and ready to go.6. To disassemble, repeat steps 1 and 2.

Charging your Yellow Jacket® On-Board Battery:To charge your Yellow Jacket®, perform the following steps:1. Make sure the unit is in the Power-o� position (safety switch is DOWN) during charging.2. While the device is charging, the LED lights on the back of the case will pulsate through their cycle. Once the device is fully charged all four of the LED lights will glow a solid color. Charge for approximately four (4) hours.3. To charge your Smartphone without removing it from the Yellow Jacket® device, move the safety switch to the standby position. Check your Smartphone battery charging indicator for feedback as to its battery disposition.

Charging your smartphone with the Yellow Jacket® Back- up Battery:

Initiate the charge function by pressing the LED charging button twice on the back of the case, located near the LED lights. When your phone is actively charging, the LED lights will stay on and you should see a charging symbol initiate on your smartphone home screen at the top right. The LED lights will stay on as your phone charges. To turn off the phone charging function, double click the button again.

Indicators:

Stun Gun Safety Switch Activation: The LED farthest to the right from the battery backup charging button will glow RED.

Successful Bluetooth pairing with iPhone: The same RED LED will blink on and off.

Stun Ready Indicator: When the Stun Gun Activation Switch is moved forward to the stun-ready position, the RED light will glow through the switch/button.

Charging Indicator: When you charge the Yellow Jacket® case, the LED charging indicator lights will pulsate or cycle through the four LED indicators located on the back of the device. When fully charged, all four LED lights shall remain on.

How to check your Yellow Jacket® battery:

1. Press the battery meter button on the lower back portion of Yellow Jacket® stun gun.2. Notice the (4) LED lights beside the battery meter button. From left to right, they indicate the battery charge level.3. The �rst four battery level lights will turn on, indicating the quarter of battery charge it represents that remains. For example, if 2 of the 4 lights come on, that means your case still has 50 percent of the charge remaining.4. You can repeat this throughout the day to see how much battery you can deliver to charge your iPhone®.5. There is a reserve charge for the stun gun, meaning it will work for a short duration even if the battery charge runs out and it no longer charges the iPhone®. (We recom-mend charging the case before this occurs)

How to Use the Stun Gun:1. Turn on Yellow Jacket® by pushing the Safety Switch to Stun-Ready Position (UP Position). As the Stun- Ready Safety Switch is slid FORWARD, it will expose a RED DOT that indicates the unit is powered up and ready for use.2. Push the Stun Gun Activation Switch forward to expose the two electrodes at the top of the Yellow Jacket® Case. When the

switch is pushed into the forward position, the switch will light up RED, thus indicating the unit is ready to be discharged.3. “Push DOWN and Hold” the Stun Gun Activation Switch/ Button to discharge the unit. The unit will continue to discharge electricity as long as the switch/ button is depressed.4. DO NOT PLACE YOUR HAND NEAR THE CONTACT ELECTRODES OR YOU MAY RECEIVE A STRONG SHOCK!

Warning: DO NOT �re the case in the air for more than 2 seconds, unless applying your Yellow Jacket® against an attacker. This is known as dry �ring and can cause irreversible, warranty-voiding damage to yourYellow Jacket®.

Safety Guidelines:Yellow Jacket® has two (2) safety features to prevent accidental discharge.Safety Switch: This switch prevents the activator button from �ring the unit unless it is moved into the “ON” or up position.Stun Gun Activation Switch: This switch when slid into the forward position exposes the electrodes. The electrodes must be exposed in order for the device to �re. Do not extend or expose the electrodes unless you are prepared to use the device. This same switch/tab acts as the “trigger” to initiate the electrical discharge of the unit. Push and hold the Stun Gun Activation Switch downward (inward) with enough

pressure to activate (trigger) the Yellow Jacket® Phone Case.Placing the Yellow Jacket® in Safe or “Standby” Mode: Slide the Stun Gun Activation Switch backward (towards the base of the unit) to return the unit to SAFE or STANDBY mode. The electrodes will not be protruding from the top of the case when the unit has successfully been placed in SAFE or STANDBY mode. When the Yellow Jacket® is placed in this con�guration, it cannot be activated for electrical discharge and the electrodes are not visible, thus protecting them as well.

Technical notes about your case:• If your electrodes are engaged, you will see a bright blue and white current of electricity creating a continuous arc between the electrodes and a loud zapping or snapping sound. The arc between the electrodes can reach a half-inch high.• Charge Yellow Jacket® at least four (4) hours before use.• Battery performance is best if recharged only when the battery is at the lowest.• The Yellow Jacket® case will become warm while charging.• Charging at temperatures below 40 degrees Fahrenheit and higher than 100 degrees Fahrenheit adversely a�ects lifetime of batteries.• If the unit has not been used for at least two (2) months, it must be fully charged before use.

Reminder: Be sure to charge your case completely before charging your phone or powering your stun gun.

To Use in Self Defense:In order for any defensive tool to be e�ectively deployed, the user must remain vigilant and aware of their surroundings. Criminals target victims by assessing their vulnerability as well as their lack of situational awareness. Walk with a purpose. Avoid dark and dangerous looking areas. Continually scan your surroundings for danger. TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS.a. Hold your Yellow Jacket® Phone Case with a secure grip. You will most likely have it in your dominant hand as this is how you likely carry your phone. Standing in what is commonly identi�ed as a right-handed boxer’s stance (if you are right handed), hold your free hand in front of your body to parry, de�ect or block incoming blows from your attacker. Holding the Yellow Jacket® Phone Case in your dominant hand, prepare to activate the electrodes by pushing the discharge switch/button and holding it.b. Using moderate pressure, touch an attacker on the targeted areas of their body with the activated electrodes and apply until the attacker has recoiled from contact with the Yellow Jacket® Phone Case or you are able to �ee. Targeted areas of the attacker’s body that deployment of the Yellow Jacket® high-voltage electric discharge should be

directed at include the torso, throat, groin, face and spine. However, “targets of opportunity,” should not be ignored if presented. These targets could include the hands, forearms, armpits, eyes, neck, etc.c. To use as a deterrent, OR to send a warning signal in emergency situations, discharge the weapon with the electrodes facing the potential attacker/assailant. The Yellow Jacket® Phone Case is a CONTACT weapon. You must be determined in your defensive deployment of the device. DO NOT act in a timid fashion. Demonstrate strength and determination. You are in a �ght quite possibly for your life. Act like it!d. To return the Yellow Jacket® Phone Case to a safe condition, simply slide the Stun Gun Activation Switch back causing the electrodes to withdraw to a non-exposed, internal position. The Stun Gun Activation Switch will no longer be RED in color once it is deactivated and in safe standby mode.The methods provided are suggestions on how to defend yourself during an attack.

Yellow Jacket® is not responsible for the out- comes of using these methods. For more self-defense tips visit: www.yellowjacketcase.com/support

Target Areas:The approximately 7,000,000 volt electrical discharge is e�ective on any part of the body but most e�ective when aimed at the neck, pelvis, sternum, throat, face, groin, spine and ribs.

Danger:1. This device is water resistant only. Do not submerge in liquid and be careful to protect against seawater, chemicals or any other �uid. If your Yellow Jacket® gets thoroughly wet, do not use. Do not touch the internal parts; these are high-voltage circuits that could cause severe shock.2. Do not open, disassemble, or modify this device, as it may cause damage to the unit and create an unsafe condition for the user. For internal repairs, consult your Authorized Dealer.3. Keep away from �ammable material.4. Never store near hot objects, in direct sunlight or at a temperature above 140F.5. Electrodes are very sharp and could puncture skin.

Warning:1. Keep out of reach of children, & EDUCATE them about the nature of this case. This is NOT like any other smartphone case. This is NOT a toy. This is a self-defense tool/ weapon.2. Use only in a lawful manner.3. Check state and local laws for stun gun restrictions.4. Do not discharge this device in the air for more than two seconds at a time. Continu-ous “dry” �ring for a longer duration can damage the unit and void the warranty. 5.Yellow Jacket can only be sold to a person 18 years of age or older.

(We recom-mend charging the case before this occurs)

How to Use the Stun Gun:

1. Turn on Yellow Jacket® by pushing the Safety Switch to Stun-Ready Position (up position). As the Safety Switch is slid forward, it will expose a red dot that indicates the unit is powered up and ready for use, at the same time, on the back of the outer-case, the farthest LED to the right of the Back-up Battery Charging Button will glow RED.

switch is pushed into the forward position, the switch will light up RED, thus indicating the unit is ready to be discharged.3. “Push DOWN and Hold” the Stun Gun Activation Switch/ Button to discharge the unit. The unit will continue to discharge electricity as long as the switch/ button is depressed.4. DO NOT PLACE YOUR HAND NEAR THE CONTACT ELECTRODES OR YOU MAY RECEIVE A STRONG SHOCK!

Warning: DO NOT �re the case in the air for more than 2 seconds, unless applying your Yellow Jacket® against an attacker. This is known as dry �ring and can cause irreversible, warranty-voiding damage to yourYellow Jacket®.

Safety Guidelines:Yellow Jacket® has two (2) safety features to prevent accidental discharge.Safety Switch: This switch prevents the activator button from �ring the unit unless it is moved into the “ON” or up position.Stun Gun Activation Switch: This switch when slid into the forward position exposes the electrodes. The electrodes must be exposed in order for the device to �re. Do not extend or expose the electrodes unless you are prepared to use the device. This same switch/tab acts as the “trigger” to initiate the electrical discharge of the unit. Push and hold the Stun Gun Activation Switch downward (inward) with enough

pressure to activate (trigger) the Yellow Jacket® Phone Case.Placing the Yellow Jacket® in Safe or “Standby” Mode: Slide the Stun Gun Activation Switch backward (towards the base of the unit) to return the unit to SAFE or STANDBY mode. The electrodes will not be protruding from the top of the case when the unit has successfully been placed in SAFE or STANDBY mode. When the Yellow Jacket® is placed in this con�guration, it cannot be activated for electrical discharge and the electrodes are not visible, thus protecting them as well.

Technical notes about your case:• If your electrodes are engaged, you will see a bright blue and white current of electricity creating a continuous arc between the electrodes and a loud zapping or snapping sound. The arc between the electrodes can reach a half-inch high.• Charge Yellow Jacket® at least four (4) hours before use.• Battery performance is best if recharged only when the battery is at the lowest.• The Yellow Jacket® case will become warm while charging.• Charging at temperatures below 40 degrees Fahrenheit and higher than 100 degrees Fahrenheit adversely a�ects lifetime of batteries.• If the unit has not been used for at least two (2) months, it must be fully charged before use.

Reminder: Be sure to charge your case completely before charging your phone or powering your stun gun.

To Use in Self Defense:In order for any defensive tool to be e�ectively deployed, the user must remain vigilant and aware of their surroundings. Criminals target victims by assessing their vulnerability as well as their lack of situational awareness. Walk with a purpose. Avoid dark and dangerous looking areas. Continually scan your surroundings for danger. TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS.a. Hold your Yellow Jacket® Phone Case with a secure grip. You will most likely have it in your dominant hand as this is how you likely carry your phone. Standing in what is commonly identi�ed as a right-handed boxer’s stance (if you are right handed), hold your free hand in front of your body to parry, de�ect or block incoming blows from your attacker. Holding the Yellow Jacket® Phone Case in your dominant hand, prepare to activate the electrodes by pushing the discharge switch/button and holding it.b. Using moderate pressure, touch an attacker on the targeted areas of their body with the activated electrodes and apply until the attacker has recoiled from contact with the Yellow Jacket® Phone Case or you are able to �ee. Targeted areas of the attacker’s body that deployment of the Yellow Jacket® high-voltage electric discharge should be

directed at include the torso, throat, groin, face and spine. However, “targets of opportunity,” should not be ignored if presented. These targets could include the hands, forearms, armpits, eyes, neck, etc.c. To use as a deterrent, OR to send a warning signal in emergency situations, discharge the weapon with the electrodes facing the potential attacker/assailant. The Yellow Jacket® Phone Case is a CONTACT weapon. You must be determined in your defensive deployment of the device. DO NOT act in a timid fashion. Demonstrate strength and determination. You are in a �ght quite possibly for your life. Act like it!d. To return the Yellow Jacket® Phone Case to a safe condition, simply slide the Stun Gun Activation Switch back causing the electrodes to withdraw to a non-exposed, internal position. The Stun Gun Activation Switch will no longer be RED in color once it is deactivated and in safe standby mode.The methods provided are suggestions on how to defend yourself during an attack.

Yellow Jacket® is not responsible for the out- comes of using these methods. For more self-defense tips visit: www.yellowjacketcase.com/support

Target Areas:The approximately 7,000,000 volt electrical discharge is e�ective on any part of the body but most e�ective when aimed at the neck, pelvis, sternum, throat, face, groin, spine and ribs.

Danger:1. This device is water resistant only. Do not submerge in liquid and be careful to protect against seawater, chemicals or any other �uid. If your Yellow Jacket® gets thoroughly wet, do not use. Do not touch the internal parts; these are high-voltage circuits that could cause severe shock.2. Do not open, disassemble, or modify this device, as it may cause damage to the unit and create an unsafe condition for the user. For internal repairs, consult your Authorized Dealer.3. Keep away from �ammable material.4. Never store near hot objects, in direct sunlight or at a temperature above 140F.5. Electrodes are very sharp and could puncture skin.

Warning:1. Keep out of reach of children, & EDUCATE them about the nature of this case. This is NOT like any other smartphone case. This is NOT a toy. This is a self-defense tool/ weapon.2. Use only in a lawful manner.3. Check state and local laws for stun gun restrictions.4. Do not discharge this device in the air for more than two seconds at a time. Continu-ous “dry” �ring for a longer duration can damage the unit and void the warranty. 5.Yellow Jacket can only be sold to a person 18 years of age or older.

FAQ’s:

What is a Yellow Jacket® (Case)?Yellow Jacket® is the world’s �rst Smartphone stun gun case. Yellow Jacket® protects your phone, your assets & you! The case has 2 safety features that help to prevent accidental discharge while being easily and instantly deployable. The additional battery within Yellow Jacket® provides your phone an extra battery charge.

Aren’t stun guns illegal?Stun guns, also known as electroshock weapons, are legal in most of the world. Take the time to educate yourself on smart stun gun use by checking out your State and Local laws before possessing a Yellow Jacket®. To see a list of states and countries that ban stun guns visit: www.yellowjacketcase.com/support

Who can and cannot purchase a Yellow Jacket® Case? Stun guns are legal to own in most states by people 18 years of age and older. A handful of states require owners to prove that they are not convicted felons, while other states have bans on carrying stun guns at speci�c places such as schools, courthouses and other public buildings. California is the only state that requires your

stun gun to have a serial code on it.Many people think they know the legality and e�ects of stun guns without ever having done the research themselves. Don’t let these naysayers stop you from being protected legally.

What features does the Yellow Jacket® o˜ er that a typical smartphone case doesn’t?Yellow Jacket® provides three (3) main bene�ts not found in any other smartphone case: it protects the phone, provides a battery backup charge and conceals a high-voltage stun gun integrated for self-defense.

Can the Yellow Jacket® a˜ ect/harm my phone in any way?Yellow Jacket® has a special barrier that prevents any potential interference with the phone.

Can the Yellow Jacket® really charge my phone? Yellow Jacket® contains a charging dock that remains plugged in to your phone when the case is assembled and your phone is attached to it. When the charging button is depressed on the back of the device, power �ows through the dock into the phone.

Can I bring my Yellow Jacket® Case on my school’s campus?Every university and college is di�erent. Consult your school’s student handbook for its rules on defensive weapons.

Can I bring my Yellow Jacket® Case through an airport and onto a commercial plane?No, don’t try to do this unless you are prepared to have your Yellow Jacket® con�scated and you yourself detained. HOWEVER, you can safely package your Yellow Jacket® and place it into your checked baggage and put it back on your smartphone after you have left the airport once you have arrived at your destination. If you are �ying on a private plane, consult the airlines and sta� before getting on the plane with your Yellow Jacket®.

What are the e˜ ects of a shock from the Yellow Jacket®?Yellow Jacket® will cause moderate to severe pain and de�nite discomfort to the person it is used on. The stun gun shock’s severity depends greatly on where it is applied on the body and how long it is applied. We recommend for our customers to aim for the torso, rib cage, shoulder or lower neck area. Applying for the duration of 1-2 seconds will cause moderate, localized pain, 3-4 seconds will cause even more serious pain and

muscle spasms/contraction and 5 seconds plus has been known to cause an assailant to collapse and/or experience short term men- tal/physical confusion. With this said, Yellow Jacket® does not promise any of these e�ects at these speci�c time frames. Pain is a subjective term when an attempt is made to classify its intensity. In a self- defense application, anticipate a minimal e�ect on the attacker so you are prepared to a�ect your escape once the deployment of the Yellow Jacket® has created a temporary impairment for the attacker. Be prepared to exploit any opening to escape.

Overall e�ectiveness is determined by many other factors such as layers of clothing, weapons/close combat training undergone by the attacker and/ or victim, voltage of the stun gun and aggression/ physiological state of the attacker.

What is the di˜ erence between a taser and a stun gun?A lot of people use the term “taser” and “stun gun” interchangeably, but there are signi�cant di�erences between the two. Stun guns are contact weapons and must be applied at close range while Tasers propel tethered darts at the attacker using a compressed air cartridge. These darts stick into the skin via pronged barbs. Stun guns also have a lower amperage and higher voltage than tasers, which make them

intrinsically safer in case of an accidental discharge. Yellow Jacket® will cause moderate to severe localized pain and de�nite discomfort to the person it is used on. A stun gun shock’s severity depends greatly on where it is applied on the body and how long it is applied. Neither of these weapons is designed to kill under normal use.

Can my Yellow Jacket® be used to defend against canine attacks?Yes. It is not advisable to intentionally place yourself in a position of encouraging such an attack by an animal. It is best to avoid the areas where such an attack could take place. However, applying the Yellow Jacket® to the head, neck or ribcage of a dog will have a similar a�ect as when it is applied to a human. Extending the unit out in front of you and dry �ring a 1-2 second “burst,” will many times unnerve the dog as it will see the electric arc, hear the loud popping/ snapping sound and even smell the burning ozone from the high-voltage discharge. This may prevent such an attack from occurring. However, a determined or rabid animal will not easily be dissuaded so be prepared to apply the Yellow Jacket® to the attacking animal if needed.

Will the Yellow Jacket® Phone Case be releasing other devices that can be used on other Smartphone conÿgurations?Yes. Other Smartphone con�gurations are in the R&D process now. Our �rst Smartphone phone case designs were developed for the Apple® iPhone® cellular devices. We will soon be releasing our Android based designs as well.

Overall e�ectiveness is determined by many other factors such as layers of clothing, weapons/close combat training undergone by the attacker and/ or victim, voltage of the stun gun and aggression/ physiological state of the attacker.

What is the di˜ erence between a taser and a stun gun?A lot of people use the term “taser” and “stun gun” interchangeably, but there are signi�cant di�erences between the two. Stun guns are contact weapons and must be applied at close range while Tasers propel tethered darts at the attacker using a compressed air cartridge. These darts stick into the skin via pronged barbs. Stun guns also have a lower amperage and higher voltage than tasers, which make them

intrinsically safer in case of an accidental discharge. Yellow Jacket® will cause moderate to severe localized pain and de�nite discomfort to the person it is used on. A stun gun shock’s severity depends greatly on where it is applied on the body and how long it is applied. Neither of these weapons is designed to kill under normal use.

Can my Yellow Jacket® be used to defend against canine attacks?Yes. It is not advisable to intentionally place yourself in a position of encouraging such an attack by an animal. It is best to avoid the areas where such an attack could take place. However, applying the Yellow Jacket® to the head, neck or ribcage of a dog will have a similar a�ect as when it is applied to a human. Extending the unit out in front of you and dry �ring a 1-2 second “burst,” will many times unnerve the dog as it will see the electric arc, hear the loud popping/ snapping sound and even smell the burning ozone from the high-voltage discharge. This may prevent such an attack from occurring. However, a determined or rabid animal will not easily be dissuaded so be prepared to apply the Yellow Jacket® to the attacking animal if needed.

Will the Yellow Jacket® Phone Case be releasing other devices that can be used on other Smartphone conÿgurations?Yes. Other Smartphone con�gurations are in the R&D process now. Our �rst Smartphone phone case designs were developed for the Apple® iPhone® cellular devices. We will soon be releasing our Android based designs as well.

Pull the case away from the base in the opposite, horizontal direction. The case will depart from the stun gun base at a 45° angle.3. Place your iPhone® into the protective TPU case. Do this by gently pulling the sides away from the case while maneuvering the iPhone® into place.

4. Once in place, lock your iPhone® and TPU case into the stun gun pack by aligning the bottom of the slots on the iPhone® case with the locking piers that extrude from the stun gun base, place the two together, and then move the iPhone® case down until it �rmly sits completely �ush along the bottom of the iPhone® Lightning® connector charging dock.5. To test this �t, turn on the battery charger on the stun gun case. If the iPhone® begins to charge, the case is assembled and ready to go.6. To disassemble, repeat steps 1 and 2.

Charging your Yellow Jacket® On-Board Battery:To charge your Yellow Jacket®, perform the following steps:1. Make sure the unit is in the Power-o� position (safety switch is DOWN) during charging.2. While the device is charging, the LED lights on the back of the case will pulsate through their cycle. Once the device is fully charged all four of the LED lights will glow a solid color. Charge for approximately four (4) hours.3. To charge your Smartphone without removing it from the Yellow Jacket® device, move the safety switch to the standby position. Check your Smartphone battery charging indicator for feedback as to its battery disposition.

Charging your phone with the Yellow Jacket® Back- up Battery:

Initiate the charge function by pressing the LED check indicator button twice on the back of the case, located near the LED lights. When your phone is actively charging, the LED lights will stay on and you should see a charging symbol initiate on your phone home screen. The LED lights will stay on as your phone charges. To turn o� the phone charging function, double click the button again.

Indicators:STUN-READY INDICATOR: When the Stun Gun Activation Switch is moved forward to the stun-ready position, the RED light will glow through the switch/tab, indicating the Yellow Jacket® is ready to be discharged.

CHARGING INDICATOR: When you charge the Yellow Jacket®, the LED charging indicators will pulsate or cycle through the four LED indicators located on the back of the device. When fully charged, all four LED lights shall remain on.

How to check your Yellow Jacket® battery:

1. Press the battery meter button on the lower back portion of Yellow Jacket® stun gun.2. Notice the (4) LED lights beside the battery meter button. From left to right, they indicate the battery charge level.3. The �rst four battery level lights will turn on, indicating the quarter of battery charge it represents that remains. For example, if 2 of the 4 lights come on, that means your case still has 50 percent of the charge remaining.4. You can repeat this throughout the day to see how much battery you can deliver to charge your iPhone®.5. There is a reserve charge for the stun gun, meaning it will work for a short duration even if the battery charge runs out and it no longer charges the iPhone®. (We recom-mend charging the case before this occurs)

How to Use the Stun Gun:1. Turn on Yellow Jacket® by pushing the Safety Switch to Stun-Ready Position (UP Position). As the Stun- Ready Safety Switch is slid FORWARD, it will expose a RED DOT that indicates the unit is powered up and ready for use.2. Push the Stun Gun Activation Switch forward to expose the two electrodes at the top of the Yellow Jacket® Case. When the

switch is pushed into the forward position, the switch will light up RED, thus indicating the unit is ready to be discharged.3. “Push DOWN and Hold” the Stun Gun Activation Switch/ Button to discharge the unit. The unit will continue to discharge electricity as long as the switch/ button is depressed.4. DO NOT PLACE YOUR HAND NEAR THE CONTACT ELECTRODES OR YOU MAY RECEIVE A STRONG SHOCK!

Warning: DO NOT �re the case in the air for more than 2 seconds, unless applying your Yellow Jacket® against an attacker. This is known as dry �ring and can cause irreversible, warranty-voiding damage to yourYellow Jacket®.

Safety Guidelines:Yellow Jacket® has two (2) safety features to prevent accidental discharge.Safety Switch: This switch prevents the activator button from �ring the unit unless it is moved into the “ON” or up position.Stun Gun Activation Switch: This switch when slid into the forward position exposes the electrodes. The electrodes must be exposed in order for the device to �re. Do not extend or expose the electrodes unless you are prepared to use the device. This same switch/tab acts as the “trigger” to initiate the electrical discharge of the unit. Push and hold the Stun Gun Activation Switch downward (inward) with enough

Push and hold the Stun Gun Activation Switch downward (inward) with enough pressure to activate (trigger) the Yellow Jacket® Phone Case.Placing the Yellow Jacket® in Safe or “Standby” Mode: Slide the Stun Gun Activation Switch backward (towards the base of the unit) to return the unit to SAFE or STANDBY mode. The electrodes will not be protruding from the top of the case when the unit has successfully been placed in SAFE or STANDBY mode. When the Yellow Jacket® case is placed in this configuration, it cannot be activated for electrical discharge and the electrodes are not visible, thus protecting them as well.

Technical notes about your case:• If your electrodes are engaged, you will see a bright blue and white current of electricity creating a continuous arc between the electrodes and a loud zapping or snapping sound. The arc between the electrodes can reach a half-inch high.• Charge Yellow Jacket® at least 2 hours before use.• Battery performance is best if recharged only when the battery is at the lowest.• Charging at temperatures below 40 degrees Fahrenheit and higher than 100 degrees Fahrenheit adversely affects lifetime of batteries.• If the unit has not been used for at least two (2) months, it must be fully charged before use.

Reminder: Be sure to charge your case completely before charging your phone or powering your stun gun.

To Use in Self Defense:In order for any defensive tool to be e�ectively deployed, the user must remain vigilant and aware of their surroundings. Criminals target victims by assessing their vulnerability as well as their lack of situational awareness. Walk with a purpose. Avoid dark and dangerous looking areas. Continually scan your surroundings for danger. TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS.a. Hold your Yellow Jacket® Phone Case with a secure grip. You will most likely have it in your dominant hand as this is how you likely carry your phone. Standing in what is commonly identi�ed as a right-handed boxer’s stance (if you are right handed), hold your free hand in front of your body to parry, de�ect or block incoming blows from your attacker. Holding the Yellow Jacket® Phone Case in your dominant hand, prepare to activate the electrodes by pushing the discharge switch/button and holding it.b. Using moderate pressure, touch an attacker on the targeted areas of their body with the activated electrodes and apply until the attacker has recoiled from contact with the Yellow Jacket® Phone Case or you are able to �ee. Targeted areas of the attacker’s body that deployment of the Yellow Jacket® high-voltage electric discharge should be

directed at include the torso, throat, groin, face and spine. However, “targets of opportunity,” should not be ignored if presented. These targets could include the hands, forearms, armpits, eyes, neck, etc.c. To use as a deterrent, OR to send a warning signal in emergency situations, discharge the weapon with the electrodes facing the potential attacker/assailant. The Yellow Jacket® Phone Case is a CONTACT weapon. You must be determined in your defensive deployment of the device. DO NOT act in a timid fashion. Demonstrate strength and determination. You are in a �ght quite possibly for your life. Act like it!d. To return the Yellow Jacket® Phone Case to a safe condition, simply slide the Stun Gun Activation Switch back causing the electrodes to withdraw to a non-exposed, internal position. The Stun Gun Activation Switch will no longer be RED in color once it is deactivated and in safe standby mode.The methods provided are suggestions on how to defend yourself during an attack.

Yellow Jacket® is not responsible for the out- comes of using these methods. For more self-defense tips visit: www.yellowjacketcase.com/support

Target Areas:The approximately 7,000,000 volt electrical discharge is e�ective on any part of the body but most e�ective when aimed at the neck, pelvis, sternum, throat, face, groin, spine and ribs.

Danger:1. This device is water resistant only. Do not submerge in liquid and be careful to protect against seawater, chemicals or any other �uid. If your Yellow Jacket® gets thoroughly wet, do not use. Do not touch the internal parts; these are high-voltage circuits that could cause severe shock.2. Do not open, disassemble, or modify this device, as it may cause damage to the unit and create an unsafe condition for the user. For internal repairs, consult your Authorized Dealer.3. Keep away from �ammable material.4. Never store near hot objects, in direct sunlight or at a temperature above 140F.5. Electrodes are very sharp and could puncture skin.

Warning:1. Keep out of reach of children, & EDUCATE them about the nature of this case. This is NOT like any other smartphone case. This is NOT a toy. This is a self-defense tool/ weapon.2. Use only in a lawful manner.3. Check state and local laws for stun gun restrictions.4. Do not discharge this device in the air for more than two seconds at a time.

Who can and cannot purchase a Yellow Jacket® Case? Stun guns are legal to own in most states by people 18 years of age and older. A handful of states require owners to prove that they are not convicted felons, while other states have bans on carrying stun guns at speci�c places such as schools, courthouses and other public buildings. California is the only state that requires your

stun gun to have a serial code on it.Many people think they know the legality and e�ects of stun guns without ever having done the research themselves. Don’t let these naysayers stop you from being protected legally.

What features does the Yellow Jacket® o˜ er that a typical smartphone case doesn’t?Yellow Jacket® provides three (3) main bene�ts not found in any other smartphone case: it protects the phone, provides a battery backup charge and conceals a high-voltage stun gun integrated for self-defense.

Can the Yellow Jacket® a˜ ect/harm my phone in any way?Yellow Jacket® has a special barrier that prevents any potential interference with the phone.

Can the Yellow Jacket® really charge my phone? Yellow Jacket® contains a charging dock that remains plugged in to your phone when the case is assembled and your phone is attached to it. When the charging button is depressed on the back of the device, power �ows through the dock into the phone.

Can I bring my Yellow Jacket® Case through an airport and onto a commercial plane?No, don’t try to do this unless you are prepared to have your Yellow Jacket® con�scated and you yourself detained. HOWEVER, you can safely package your Yellow Jacket® and place it into your checked baggage and put it back on your smartphone after you have left the airport once you have arrived at your destination. If you are �ying on a private plane, consult the airlines and sta� before getting on the plane with your Yellow Jacket®.

What are the e˜ ects of a shock from the Yellow Jacket®?Yellow Jacket® will cause moderate to severe pain and de�nite discomfort to the person it is used on. The stun gun shock’s severity depends greatly on where it is applied on the body and how long it is applied. We recommend for our customers to aim for the torso, rib cage, shoulder or lower neck area. Applying for the duration of 1-2 seconds will cause moderate, localized pain, 3-4 seconds will cause even more serious pain and

muscle spasms/contraction and 5 seconds plus has been known to cause an assailant to collapse and/or experience short term men- tal/physical confusion. With this said, Yellow Jacket® does not promise any of these e�ects at these speci�c time frames. Pain is a subjective term when an attempt is made to classify its intensity. In a self- defense application, anticipate a minimal e�ect on the attacker so you are prepared to a�ect your escape once the deployment of the Yellow Jacket® has created a temporary impairment for the attacker. Be prepared to exploit any opening to escape.

Overall e�ectiveness is determined by many other factors such as layers of clothing, weapons/close combat training undergone by the attacker and/ or victim, voltage of the stun gun and aggression/ physiological state of the attacker.

What is the di˜ erence between a taser and a stun gun?A lot of people use the term “taser” and “stun gun” interchangeably, but there are signi�cant di�erences between the two.

FAQ’s:

What is a Yellow Jacket® (Case)?Yellow Jacket® is the world’s �rst Smartphone stun gun case. Yellow Jacket® protects your phone, your assets & you! The case has 2 safety features that help to prevent accidental discharge while being easily and instantly deployable. The additional battery within Yellow Jacket® provides your phone an extra battery charge.

Aren’t stun guns illegal?Stun guns, also known as electroshock weapons, are legal in most of the world. Take the time to educate yourself on smart stun gun use by checking out your State and Local laws before possessing a Yellow Jacket®. To see a list of states and countries that ban stun guns visit: www.yellowjacketcase.com/support

Who can and cannot purchase a Yellow Jacket® Case? Stun guns are legal to own in most states by people 18 years of age and older. A handful of states require owners to prove that they are not convicted felons, while other states have bans on carrying stun guns at speci�c places such as schools, courthouses and other public buildings. California is the only state that requires your

stun gun to have a serial code on it.Many people think they know the legality and e�ects of stun guns without ever having done the research themselves. Don’t let these naysayers stop you from being protected legally.

What features does the Yellow Jacket® o˜ er that a typical smartphone case doesn’t?Yellow Jacket® provides three (3) main bene�ts not found in any other smartphone case: it protects the phone, provides a battery backup charge and conceals a high-voltage stun gun integrated for self-defense.

Can the Yellow Jacket® a˜ ect/harm my phone in any way?Yellow Jacket® has a special barrier that prevents any potential interference with the phone.

Can the Yellow Jacket® really charge my phone? Yellow Jacket® contains a charging dock that remains plugged in to your phone when the case is assembled and your phone is attached to it. When the charging button is depressed on the back of the device, power �ows through the dock into the phone.

Can I bring my Yellow Jacket® Case on my school’s campus?Every university and college is di�erent. Consult your school’s student handbook for its rules on defensive weapons.

Can I bring my Yellow Jacket® Case through an airport and onto a commercial plane?No, don’t try to do this unless you are prepared to have your Yellow Jacket® con�scated and you yourself detained. HOWEVER, you can safely package your Yellow Jacket® and place it into your checked baggage and put it back on your smartphone after you have left the airport once you have arrived at your destination. If you are �ying on a private plane, consult the airlines and sta� before getting on the plane with your Yellow Jacket®.

What are the e˜ ects of a shock from the Yellow Jacket®?Yellow Jacket® will cause moderate to severe pain and de�nite discomfort to the person it is used on. The stun gun shock’s severity depends greatly on where it is applied on the body and how long it is applied. We recommend for our customers to aim for the torso, rib cage, shoulder or lower neck area. Applying for the duration of 1-2 seconds will cause moderate, localized pain, 3-4 seconds will cause even more serious pain and

muscle spasms/contraction and 5 seconds plus has been known to cause an assailant to collapse and/or experience short term men- tal/physical confusion. With this said, Yellow Jacket® does not promise any of these e�ects at these speci�c time frames. Pain is a subjective term when an attempt is made to classify its intensity. In a self- defense application, anticipate a minimal e�ect on the attacker so you are prepared to a�ect your escape once the deployment of the Yellow Jacket® has created a temporary impairment for the attacker. Be prepared to exploit any opening to escape.

Overall e�ectiveness is determined by many other factors such as layers of clothing, weapons/close combat training undergone by the attacker and/ or victim, voltage of the stun gun and aggression/ physiological state of the attacker.

What is the di˜ erence between a taser and a stun gun?A lot of people use the term “taser” and “stun gun” interchangeably, but there are signi�cant di�erences between the two. Stun guns are contact weapons and must be applied at close range while Tasers propel tethered darts at the attacker using a compressed air cartridge. These darts stick into the skin via pronged barbs. Stun guns also have a lower amperage and higher voltage than tasers, which make them

intrinsically safer in case of an accidental discharge. Yellow Jacket® will cause moderate to severe localized pain and de�nite discomfort to the person it is used on. A stun gun shock’s severity depends greatly on where it is applied on the body and how long it is applied. Neither of these weapons is designed to kill under normal use.

Can my Yellow Jacket® be used to defend against canine attacks?Yes. It is not advisable to intentionally place yourself in a position of encouraging such an attack by an animal. It is best to avoid the areas where such an attack could take place. However, applying the Yellow Jacket® to the head, neck or ribcage of a dog will have a similar a�ect as when it is applied to a human. Extending the unit out in front of you and dry �ring a 1-2 second “burst,” will many times unnerve the dog as it will see the electric arc, hear the loud popping/ snapping sound and even smell the burning ozone from the high-voltage discharge. This may prevent such an attack from occurring. However, a determined or rabid animal will not easily be dissuaded so be prepared to apply the Yellow Jacket® to the attacking animal if needed.

Will the Yellow Jacket® Phone Case be releasing other devices that can be used on other Smartphone conÿgurations?Yes. Other Smartphone con�gurations are in the R&D process now. Our �rst Smartphone phone case designs were developed for the Apple® iPhone® cellular devices. We will soon be releasing our Android based designs as well.

Pull the case away from the base in the opposite, horizontal direction. The case will depart from the stun gun base at a 45° angle.3. Place your iPhone® into the protective TPU case. Do this by gently pulling the sides away from the case while maneuvering the iPhone® into place.

4. Once in place, lock your iPhone® and TPU case into the stun gun pack by aligning the bottom of the slots on the iPhone® case with the locking piers that extrude from the stun gun base, place the two together, and then move the iPhone® case down until it �rmly sits completely �ush along the bottom of the iPhone® Lightning® connector charging dock.5. To test this �t, turn on the battery charger on the stun gun case. If the iPhone® begins to charge, the case is assembled and ready to go.6. To disassemble, repeat steps 1 and 2.

Charging your Yellow Jacket® On-Board Battery:To charge your Yellow Jacket®, perform the following steps:1. Make sure the unit is in the Power-o� position (safety switch is DOWN) during charging.2. While the device is charging, the LED lights on the back of the case will pulsate through their cycle. Once the device is fully charged all four of the LED lights will glow a solid color. Charge for approximately four (4) hours.3. To charge your Smartphone without removing it from the Yellow Jacket® device, move the safety switch to the standby position. Check your Smartphone battery charging indicator for feedback as to its battery disposition.

Charging your phone with the Yellow Jacket® Back- up Battery:

Initiate the charge function by pressing the LED check indicator button twice on the back of the case, located near the LED lights. When your phone is actively charging, the LED lights will stay on and you should see a charging symbol initiate on your phone home screen. The LED lights will stay on as your phone charges. To turn o� the phone charging function, double click the button again.

Indicators:STUN-READY INDICATOR: When the Stun Gun Activation Switch is moved forward to the stun-ready position, the RED light will glow through the switch/tab, indicating the Yellow Jacket® is ready to be discharged.

CHARGING INDICATOR: When you charge the Yellow Jacket®, the LED charging indicators will pulsate or cycle through the four LED indicators located on the back of the device. When fully charged, all four LED lights shall remain on.

How to check your Yellow Jacket® battery:

1. Press the battery meter button on the lower back portion of Yellow Jacket® stun gun.2. Notice the (4) LED lights beside the battery meter button. From left to right, they indicate the battery charge level.3. The �rst four battery level lights will turn on, indicating the quarter of battery charge it represents that remains. For example, if 2 of the 4 lights come on, that means your case still has 50 percent of the charge remaining.4. You can repeat this throughout the day to see how much battery you can deliver to charge your iPhone®.5. There is a reserve charge for the stun gun, meaning it will work for a short duration even if the battery charge runs out and it no longer charges the iPhone®. (We recom-mend charging the case before this occurs)

How to Use the Stun Gun:1. Turn on Yellow Jacket® by pushing the Safety Switch to Stun-Ready Position (UP Position). As the Stun- Ready Safety Switch is slid FORWARD, it will expose a RED DOT that indicates the unit is powered up and ready for use.2. Push the Stun Gun Activation Switch forward to expose the two electrodes at the top of the Yellow Jacket® Case. When the

switch is pushed into the forward position, the switch will light up RED, thus indicating the unit is ready to be discharged.3. “Push DOWN and Hold” the Stun Gun Activation Switch/ Button to discharge the unit. The unit will continue to discharge electricity as long as the switch/ button is depressed.4. DO NOT PLACE YOUR HAND NEAR THE CONTACT ELECTRODES OR YOU MAY RECEIVE A STRONG SHOCK!

Warning: DO NOT �re the case in the air for more than 2 seconds, unless applying your Yellow Jacket® against an attacker. This is known as dry �ring and can cause irreversible, warranty-voiding damage to yourYellow Jacket®.

Safety Guidelines:Yellow Jacket® has two (2) safety features to prevent accidental discharge.Safety Switch: This switch prevents the activator button from �ring the unit unless it is moved into the “ON” or up position.Stun Gun Activation Switch: This switch when slid into the forward position exposes the electrodes. The electrodes must be exposed in order for the device to �re. Do not extend or expose the electrodes unless you are prepared to use the device. This same switch/tab acts as the “trigger” to initiate the electrical discharge of the unit. Push and hold the Stun Gun Activation Switch downward (inward) with enough

pressure to activate (trigger) the Yellow Jacket® Phone Case.Placing the Yellow Jacket® in Safe or “Standby” Mode: Slide the Stun Gun Activation Switch backward (towards the base of the unit) to return the unit to SAFE or STANDBY mode. The electrodes will not be protruding from the top of the case when the unit has successfully been placed in SAFE or STANDBY mode. When the Yellow Jacket® is placed in this con�guration, it cannot be activated for electrical discharge and the electrodes are not visible, thus protecting them as well.

Technical notes about your case:• If your electrodes are engaged, you will see a bright blue and white current of electricity creating a continuous arc between the electrodes and a loud zapping or snapping sound. The arc between the electrodes can reach a half-inch high.• Charge Yellow Jacket® at least four (4) hours before use.• Battery performance is best if recharged only when the battery is at the lowest.• The Yellow Jacket® case will become warm while charging.• Charging at temperatures below 40 degrees Fahrenheit and higher than 100 degrees Fahrenheit adversely a�ects lifetime of batteries.• If the unit has not been used for at least two (2) months, it must be fully charged before use.

Reminder: Be sure to charge your case completely before charging your phone or powering your stun gun.

To Use in Self Defense:In order for any defensive tool to be e�ectively deployed, the user must remain vigilant and aware of their surroundings. Criminals target victims by assessing their vulnerability as well as their lack of situational awareness. Walk with a purpose. Avoid dark and dangerous looking areas. Continually scan your surroundings for danger. TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS.a. Hold your Yellow Jacket® Phone Case with a secure grip. You will most likely have it in your dominant hand as this is how you likely carry your phone. Standing in what is commonly identi�ed as a right-handed boxer’s stance (if you are right handed), hold your free hand in front of your body to parry, de�ect or block incoming blows from your attacker. Holding the Yellow Jacket® Phone Case in your dominant hand, prepare to activate the electrodes by pushing the discharge switch/button and holding it.b. Using moderate pressure, touch an attacker on the targeted areas of their body with the activated electrodes and apply until the attacker has recoiled from contact with the Yellow Jacket® Phone Case or you are able to �ee. Targeted areas of the attacker’s body that deployment of the Yellow Jacket® high-voltage electric discharge should be

high-voltage electric discharge should be directed at, are the; torso, throat, groin, face and spine. However, “targets of opportunity,” should not be ignored if presented. These targets could include the hands, forearms, armpits, eyes, neck, etc.c. To use as a deterrent, or to send a warning signal in emergency situations, discharge the weapon with the electrodes facing the potential attacker/assailant. The Yellow Jacket® case is a contactweapon. You must be determined in your defensive deployment of the device. Do notact in a timid fashion. Demonstrate strength and determination. You are in a fight quite possibly for your life. Act like it! d. To return the Yellow Jacket® case to a safe condition, simply slide the Stun Gun Activation Switch back causing the electrodes to withdraw to a non-exposed, internal position. The Stun Gun Activation Switch will no longer be red in color once it is deactivated and in safe standby mode. The methods provided are suggestions on how to defend yourself during an attack.

Yellow Jacket® is not responsible for the out- comes of using these methods. For more self-defense tips visit: www.yellowjacketcase.com/support

Target Areas:The approximately 7,000,000 volt electrical discharge is e�ective on any part of the body but most e�ective when aimed at the neck, pelvis, sternum, throat, face, groin, spine and ribs.

Danger:1. This device is water resistant only. Do not submerge in liquid and be careful to protect against seawater, chemicals or any other �uid. If your Yellow Jacket® gets thoroughly wet, do not use. Do not touch the internal parts; these are high-voltage circuits that could cause severe shock.2. Do not open, disassemble, or modify this device, as it may cause damage to the unit and create an unsafe condition for the user. For internal repairs, consult your Authorized Dealer.3. Keep away from �ammable material.4. Never store near hot objects, in direct sunlight or at a temperature above 140F.5. Electrodes are very sharp and could puncture skin.

Warning:1. Keep out of reach of children, & EDUCATE them about the nature of this case. This is NOT like any other smartphone case. This is NOT a toy. This is a self-defense tool/ weapon.2. Use only in a lawful manner.3. Check state and local laws for stun gun restrictions.4. Do not discharge this device in the air for more than two seconds at a time. Continu-ous “dry” �ring for a longer duration can damage the unit and void the warranty. 5.Yellow Jacket can only be sold to a person 18 years of age or older.

How to Use the Stun Gun:1. Turn on Yellow Jacket® by pushing the Safety Switch to Stun-Ready Position (UP Position). As the Stun- Ready Safety Switch is slid FORWARD, it will expose a RED DOT that indicates the unit is powered up and ready for use.2. Push the Stun Gun Activation Switch forward to expose the two electrodes at the top of the Yellow Jacket® Case. When the

switch is pushed into the forward position, the switch will light up RED, thus indicating the unit is ready to be discharged.3. “Push DOWN and Hold” the Stun Gun Activation Switch/ Button to discharge the unit. The unit will continue to discharge electricity as long as the switch/ button is depressed.4. DO NOT PLACE YOUR HAND NEAR THE CONTACT ELECTRODES OR YOU MAY RECEIVE A STRONG SHOCK!

Warning: DO NOT �re the case in the air for more than 2 seconds, unless applying your Yellow Jacket® against an attacker. This is known as dry �ring and can cause irreversible, warranty-voiding damage to yourYellow Jacket®.

Safety Guidelines:Yellow Jacket® has two (2) safety features to prevent accidental discharge.Safety Switch: This switch prevents the activator button from �ring the unit unless it is moved into the “ON” or up position.Stun Gun Activation Switch: This switch when slid into the forward position exposes the electrodes. The electrodes must be exposed in order for the device to �re. Do not extend or expose the electrodes unless you are prepared to use the device. This same switch/tab acts as the “trigger” to initiate the electrical discharge of the unit. Push and hold the Stun Gun Activation Switch downward (inward) with enough

pressure to activate (trigger) the Yellow Jacket® Phone Case.Placing the Yellow Jacket® in Safe or “Standby” Mode: Slide the Stun Gun Activation Switch backward (towards the base of the unit) to return the unit to SAFE or STANDBY mode. The electrodes will not be protruding from the top of the case when the unit has successfully been placed in SAFE or STANDBY mode. When the Yellow Jacket® is placed in this con�guration, it cannot be activated for electrical discharge and the electrodes are not visible, thus protecting them as well.

Technical notes about your case:• If your electrodes are engaged, you will see a bright blue and white current of electricity creating a continuous arc between the electrodes and a loud zapping or snapping sound. The arc between the electrodes can reach a half-inch high.• Charge Yellow Jacket® at least four (4) hours before use.• Battery performance is best if recharged only when the battery is at the lowest.• The Yellow Jacket® case will become warm while charging.• Charging at temperatures below 40 degrees Fahrenheit and higher than 100 degrees Fahrenheit adversely a�ects lifetime of batteries.• If the unit has not been used for at least two (2) months, it must be fully charged before use.

Reminder: Be sure to charge your case completely before charging your phone or powering your stun gun.

To Use in Self Defense:In order for any defensive tool to be e�ectively deployed, the user must remain vigilant and aware of their surroundings. Criminals target victims by assessing their vulnerability as well as their lack of situational awareness. Walk with a purpose. Avoid dark and dangerous looking areas. Continually scan your surroundings for danger. TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS.a. Hold your Yellow Jacket® Phone Case with a secure grip. You will most likely have it in your dominant hand as this is how you likely carry your phone. Standing in what is commonly identi�ed as a right-handed boxer’s stance (if you are right handed), hold your free hand in front of your body to parry, de�ect or block incoming blows from your attacker. Holding the Yellow Jacket® Phone Case in your dominant hand, prepare to activate the electrodes by pushing the discharge switch/button and holding it.b. Using moderate pressure, touch an attacker on the targeted areas of their body with the activated electrodes and apply until the attacker has recoiled from contact with the Yellow Jacket® Phone Case or you are able to �ee. Targeted areas of the attacker’s body that deployment of the Yellow Jacket® high-voltage electric discharge should be

directed at include the torso, throat, groin, face and spine. However, “targets of opportunity,” should not be ignored if presented. These targets could include the hands, forearms, armpits, eyes, neck, etc.c. To use as a deterrent, OR to send a warning signal in emergency situations, discharge the weapon with the electrodes facing the potential attacker/assailant. The Yellow Jacket® Phone Case is a CONTACT weapon. You must be determined in your defensive deployment of the device. DO NOT act in a timid fashion. Demonstrate strength and determination. You are in a �ght quite possibly for your life. Act like it!d. To return the Yellow Jacket® Phone Case to a safe condition, simply slide the Stun Gun Activation Switch back causing the electrodes to withdraw to a non-exposed, internal position. The Stun Gun Activation Switch will no longer be RED in color once it is deactivated and in safe standby mode.The methods provided are suggestions on how to defend yourself during an attack.

Yellow Jacket® is not responsible for the out- comes of using these methods. For more self-defense tips visit: www.yellowjacketcase.com/support

Target Areas:

The approximate 7,000,000 volt electrical discharge is effective on any part of the body but most effective when aimed at the neck, pelvis, sternum, throat, face, groin, spine and ribs.

Danger:1. This device is water resistant only. Do not submerge in liquid and be careful to protect against seawater, chemicals or any other �uid. If your Yellow Jacket® gets thoroughly wet, do not use. Do not touch the internal parts; these are high-voltage circuits that could cause severe shock.2. Do not open, disassemble, or modify this device, as it may cause damage to the unit and create an unsafe condition for the user. For internal repairs, consult your Authorized Dealer.3. Keep away from �ammable material.4. Never store near hot objects, in direct sunlight or at a temperature above 140F.5. Electrodes are very sharp and could puncture skin.

Warning:1. Keep out of reach of children, & EDUCATE them about the nature of this case. This is NOT like any other smartphone case. This is NOT a toy. This is a self-defense tool/ weapon.2. Use only in a lawful manner.3. Check state and local laws for stun gun restrictions.4. Do not discharge this device in the air for more than two seconds at a time. Continu-ous “dry” �ring for a longer duration can damage the unit and void the warranty. 5.Yellow Jacket can only be sold to a person 18 years of age or older.

FAQ’s:

What is a Yellow Jacket® (Case)?Yellow Jacket® is the world’s �rst Smartphone stun gun case. Yellow Jacket® protects your phone, your assets & you! The case has 2 safety features that help to prevent accidental discharge while being easily and instantly deployable. The additional battery within Yellow Jacket® provides your phone an extra battery charge.

Aren’t stun guns illegal?Stun guns, also known as electroshock weapons, are legal in most of the world. Take the time to educate yourself on smart stun gun use by checking out your State and Local laws before possessing a Yellow Jacket®. To see a list of states and countries that ban stun guns visit: www.yellowjacketcase.com/support

Who can and cannot purchase a Yellow Jacket® Case? Stun guns are legal to own in most states by people 18 years of age and older. A handful of states require owners to prove that they are not convicted felons, while other states have bans on carrying stun guns at speci�c places such as schools, courthouses and other public buildings. California is the only state that requires your

stun gun to have a serial code on it.Many people think they know the legality and e�ects of stun guns without ever having done the research themselves. Don’t let these naysayers stop you from being protected legally.

What features does the Yellow Jacket® o˜ er that a typical smartphone case doesn’t?Yellow Jacket® provides three (3) main bene�ts not found in any other smartphone case: it protects the phone, provides a battery backup charge and conceals a high-voltage stun gun integrated for self-defense.

Can the Yellow Jacket® a˜ ect/harm my phone in any way?Yellow Jacket® has a special barrier that prevents any potential interference with the phone.

Can the Yellow Jacket® really charge my phone? Yellow Jacket® contains a charging dock that remains plugged in to your phone when the case is assembled and your phone is attached to it. When the charging button is depressed on the back of the device, power �ows through the dock into the phone.

Can I bring my Yellow Jacket® Case on my school’s campus?Every university and college is di�erent. Consult your school’s student handbook for its rules on defensive weapons.

Can I bring my Yellow Jacket® Case through an airport and onto a commercial plane?No, don’t try to do this unless you are prepared to have your Yellow Jacket® con�scated and you yourself detained. HOWEVER, you can safely package your Yellow Jacket® and place it into your checked baggage and put it back on your smartphone after you have left the airport once you have arrived at your destination. If you are �ying on a private plane, consult the airlines and sta� before getting on the plane with your Yellow Jacket®.

What are the e˜ ects of a shock from the Yellow Jacket®?Yellow Jacket® will cause moderate to severe pain and de�nite discomfort to the person it is used on. The stun gun shock’s severity depends greatly on where it is applied on the body and how long it is applied. We recommend for our customers to aim for the torso, rib cage, shoulder or lower neck area. Applying for the duration of 1-2 seconds will cause moderate, localized pain, 3-4 seconds will cause even more serious pain and

muscle spasms/contraction and 5 seconds plus has been known to cause an assailant to collapse and/or experience short term men- tal/physical confusion. With this said, Yellow Jacket® does not promise any of these e�ects at these speci�c time frames. Pain is a subjective term when an attempt is made to classify its intensity. In a self- defense application, anticipate a minimal e�ect on the attacker so you are prepared to a�ect your escape once the deployment of the Yellow Jacket® has created a temporary impairment for the attacker. Be prepared to exploit any opening to escape.

Overall e�ectiveness is determined by many other factors such as layers of clothing, weapons/close combat training undergone by the attacker and/ or victim, voltage of the stun gun and aggression/ physiological state of the attacker.

What is the di˜ erence between a taser and a stun gun?A lot of people use the term “taser” and “stun gun” interchangeably, but there are signi�cant di�erences between the two. Stun guns are contact weapons and must be applied at close range while Tasers propel tethered darts at the attacker using a compressed air cartridge. These darts stick into the skin via pronged barbs. Stun guns also have a lower amperage and higher voltage than tasers, which make them

intrinsically safer in case of an accidental discharge. Yellow Jacket® will cause moderate to severe localized pain and de�nite discomfort to the person it is used on. A stun gun shock’s severity depends greatly on where it is applied on the body and how long it is applied. Neither of these weapons is designed to kill under normal use.

Can my Yellow Jacket® be used to defend against canine attacks?Yes. It is not advisable to intentionally place yourself in a position of encouraging such an attack by an animal. It is best to avoid the areas where such an attack could take place. However, applying the Yellow Jacket® to the head, neck or ribcage of a dog will have a similar a�ect as when it is applied to a human. Extending the unit out in front of you and dry �ring a 1-2 second “burst,” will many times unnerve the dog as it will see the electric arc, hear the loud popping/ snapping sound and even smell the burning ozone from the high-voltage discharge. This may prevent such an attack from occurring. However, a determined or rabid animal will not easily be dissuaded so be prepared to apply the Yellow Jacket® to the attacking animal if needed.

Will the Yellow Jacket® Phone Case be releasing other devices that can be used on other Smartphone conÿgurations?Yes. Other Smartphone con�gurations are in the R&D process now. Our �rst Smartphone phone case designs were developed for the Apple® iPhone® cellular devices. We will soon be releasing our Android based designs as well.

Overall e�ectiveness is determined by many other factors such as layers of clothing, weapons/close combat training undergone by the attacker and/ or victim, voltage of the stun gun and aggression/ physiological state of the attacker.

What is the di˜ erence between a taser and a stun gun?A lot of people use the term “taser” and “stun gun” interchangeably, but there are signi�cant di�erences between the two. Stun guns are contact weapons and must be applied at close range while Tasers propel tethered darts at the attacker using a compressed air cartridge. These darts stick into the skin via pronged barbs. Stun guns also have a lower amperage and higher voltage than tasers, which make them

intrinsically safer in case of an accidental discharge. Yellow Jacket® will cause moderate to severe localized pain and de�nite discomfort to the person it is used on. A stun gun shock’s severity depends greatly on where it is applied on the body and how long it is applied. Neither of these weapons is designed to kill under normal use.

Can my Yellow Jacket® be used to defend against canine attacks?Yes. It is not advisable to intentionally place yourself in a position of encouraging such an attack by an animal. It is best to avoid the areas where such an attack could take place. However, applying the Yellow Jacket® to the head, neck or ribcage of a dog will have a similar a�ect as when it is applied to a human. Extending the unit out in front of you and dry �ring a 1-2 second “burst,” will many times unnerve the dog as it will see the electric arc, hear the loud popping/ snapping sound and even smell the burning ozone from the high-voltage discharge. This may prevent such an attack from occurring. However, a determined or rabid animal will not easily be dissuaded so be prepared to apply the Yellow Jacket® to the attacking animal if needed.

Will the Yellow Jacket® Phone Case be releasing other devices that can be used on other Smartphone conÿgurations?Yes. Other Smartphone con�gurations are in the R&D process now. Our �rst Smartphone phone case designs were developed for the Apple® iPhone® cellular devices. We will soon be releasing our Android based designs as well.

1. Begin by removing the iPhone® case from the stun gun pack. To do this, depress case lock button and push vertically (up). The case will unlock from the base and move upwards about an inch.2. Pull the case away from the base in the opposite, horizontal direction. The case will depart from the stun gun base at a 45° angle.3. Place your iPhone® into the protective TPU case. Do this by gently pulling the sides away from the case while maneuvering the iPhone® into place.

4. Once in place, lock your iPhone® and TPU case into the stun gun pack by aligning the bottom of the slots on the iPhone® case with the locking piers that extrude from the stun gun base, place the two together, and then move the iPhone® case down until it �rmly sits completely �ush along the bottom of the iPhone® Lightning® connector charging dock.5. To test this �t, turn on the battery charger on the stun gun case. If the iPhone® begins to charge, the case is assembled and ready to go.6. To disassemble, repeat steps 1 and 2.

Charging your Yellow Jacket® On-Board Battery:To charge your Yellow Jacket®, perform the following steps:1. Make sure the unit is in the Power-o� position (safety switch is DOWN) during charging.2. While the device is charging, the LED lights on the back of the case will pulsate through their cycle. Once the device is fully charged all four of the LED lights will glow a solid color. Charge for approximately four (4) hours.3. To charge your Smartphone without removing it from the Yellow Jacket® device, move the safety switch to the standby position. Check your Smartphone battery charging indicator for feedback as to its battery disposition.

Charging your phone with the Yellow Jacket® Back- up Battery:

Initiate the charge function by pressing the LED check indicator button twice on the back of the case, located near the LED lights. When your phone is actively charging, the LED lights will stay on and you should see a charging symbol initiate on your phone home screen. The LED lights will stay on as your phone charges. To turn o� the phone charging function, double click the button again.

Indicators:STUN-READY INDICATOR: When the Stun Gun Activation Switch is moved forward to the stun-ready position, the RED light will glow through the switch/tab, indicating the Yellow Jacket® is ready to be discharged.

CHARGING INDICATOR: When you charge the Yellow Jacket®, the LED charging indicators will pulsate or cycle through the four LED indicators located on the back of the device. When fully charged, all four LED lights shall remain on.

How to check your Yellow Jacket® battery:

1. Press the battery meter button on the lower back portion of Yellow Jacket® stun gun.2. Notice the (4) LED lights beside the battery meter button. From left to right, they indicate the battery charge level.3. The �rst four battery level lights will turn on, indicating the quarter of battery charge it represents that remains. For example, if 2 of the 4 lights come on, that means your case still has 50 percent of the charge remaining.4. You can repeat this throughout the day to see how much battery you can deliver to charge your iPhone®.5. There is a reserve charge for the stun gun, meaning it will work for a short duration even if the battery charge runs out and it no longer charges the iPhone®. (We recom-mend charging the case before this occurs)

How to Use the Stun Gun:1. Turn on Yellow Jacket® by pushing the Safety Switch to Stun-Ready Position (UP Position). As the Stun- Ready Safety Switch is slid FORWARD, it will expose a RED DOT that indicates the unit is powered up and ready for use.2. Push the Stun Gun Activation Switch forward to expose the two electrodes at the top of the Yellow Jacket® Case. When the

switch is pushed into the forward position, the switch will light up RED, thus indicating the unit is ready to be discharged.3. “Push DOWN and Hold” the Stun Gun Activation Switch/ Button to discharge the unit. The unit will continue to discharge electricity as long as the switch/ button is depressed.4. DO NOT PLACE YOUR HAND NEAR THE CONTACT ELECTRODES OR YOU MAY RECEIVE A STRONG SHOCK!

Warning: DO NOT �re the case in the air for more than 2 seconds, unless applying your Yellow Jacket® against an attacker. This is known as dry �ring and can cause irreversible, warranty-voiding damage to yourYellow Jacket®.

Safety Guidelines:Yellow Jacket® has two (2) safety features to prevent accidental discharge.Safety Switch: This switch prevents the activator button from �ring the unit unless it is moved into the “ON” or up position.Stun Gun Activation Switch: This switch when slid into the forward position exposes the electrodes. The electrodes must be exposed in order for the device to �re. Do not extend or expose the electrodes unless you are prepared to use the device. This same switch/tab acts as the “trigger” to initiate the electrical discharge of the unit. Push and hold the Stun Gun Activation Switch downward (inward) with enough

pressure to activate (trigger) the Yellow Jacket® Phone Case.Placing the Yellow Jacket® in Safe or “Standby” Mode: Slide the Stun Gun Activation Switch backward (towards the base of the unit) to return the unit to SAFE or STANDBY mode. The electrodes will not be protruding from the top of the case when the unit has successfully been placed in SAFE or STANDBY mode. When the Yellow Jacket® is placed in this con�guration, it cannot be activated for electrical discharge and the electrodes are not visible, thus protecting them as well.

Technical notes about your case:• If your electrodes are engaged, you will see a bright blue and white current of electricity creating a continuous arc between the electrodes and a loud zapping or snapping sound. The arc between the electrodes can reach a half-inch high.• Charge Yellow Jacket® at least four (4) hours before use.• Battery performance is best if recharged only when the battery is at the lowest.• The Yellow Jacket® case will become warm while charging.• Charging at temperatures below 40 degrees Fahrenheit and higher than 100 degrees Fahrenheit adversely a�ects lifetime of batteries.• If the unit has not been used for at least two (2) months, it must be fully charged before use.

Reminder: Be sure to charge your case completely before charging your phone or powering your stun gun.

To Use in Self Defense:In order for any defensive tool to be e�ectively deployed, the user must remain vigilant and aware of their surroundings. Criminals target victims by assessing their vulnerability as well as their lack of situational awareness. Walk with a purpose. Avoid dark and dangerous looking areas. Continually scan your surroundings for danger. TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS.a. Hold your Yellow Jacket® Phone Case with a secure grip. You will most likely have it in your dominant hand as this is how you likely carry your phone. Standing in what is commonly identi�ed as a right-handed boxer’s stance (if you are right handed), hold your free hand in front of your body to parry, de�ect or block incoming blows from your attacker. Holding the Yellow Jacket® Phone Case in your dominant hand, prepare to activate the electrodes by pushing the discharge switch/button and holding it.b. Using moderate pressure, touch an attacker on the targeted areas of their body with the activated electrodes and apply until the attacker has recoiled from contact with the Yellow Jacket® Phone Case or you are able to �ee. Targeted areas of the attacker’s body that deployment of the Yellow Jacket® high-voltage electric discharge should be

directed at include the torso, throat, groin, face and spine. However, “targets of opportunity,” should not be ignored if presented. These targets could include the hands, forearms, armpits, eyes, neck, etc.c. To use as a deterrent, OR to send a warning signal in emergency situations, discharge the weapon with the electrodes facing the potential attacker/assailant. The Yellow Jacket® Phone Case is a CONTACT weapon. You must be determined in your defensive deployment of the device. DO NOT act in a timid fashion. Demonstrate strength and determination. You are in a �ght quite possibly for your life. Act like it!d. To return the Yellow Jacket® Phone Case to a safe condition, simply slide the Stun Gun Activation Switch back causing the electrodes to withdraw to a non-exposed, internal position. The Stun Gun Activation Switch will no longer be RED in color once it is deactivated and in safe standby mode.The methods provided are suggestions on how to defend yourself during an attack.

Yellow Jacket® is not responsible for the out- comes of using these methods. For more self-defense tips visit: www.yellowjacketcase.com/support

Target Areas:The approximately 7,000,000 volt electrical discharge is e�ective on any part of the body but most e�ective when aimed at the neck, pelvis, sternum, throat, face, groin, spine and ribs.

Danger:1. This device is water resistant only. Do not submerge in liquid and be careful to protect against seawater, chemicals or any other �uid. If your Yellow Jacket® gets thoroughly wet, do not use. Do not touch the internal parts; these are high-voltage circuits that could cause severe shock.2. Do not open, disassemble, or modify this device, as it may cause damage to the unit and create an unsafe condition for the user. For internal repairs, consult your Authorized Dealer.3. Keep away from �ammable material.4. Never store near hot objects, in direct sunlight or at a temperature above 140F.5. Electrodes are very sharp and could puncture skin.

Warning:1. Keep out of reach of children, & EDUCATE them about the nature of this case. This is NOT like any other smartphone case. This is NOT a toy. This is a self-defense tool/ weapon.2. Use only in a lawful manner.3. Check state and local laws for stun gun restrictions.4. Do not discharge this device in the air for more than two seconds at a time. Continu-ous “dry” �ring for a longer duration can damage the unit and void the warranty. 5.Yellow Jacket can only be sold to a person 18 years of age or older.

What are the e˜ ects of a shock from the Yellow Jacket®?Yellow Jacket® will cause moderate to severe pain and de�nite discomfort to the person it is used on. The stun gun shock’s severity depends greatly on where it is applied on the body and how long it is applied. We recommend for our customers to aim for the torso, rib cage, shoulder or lower neck area. Applying for the duration of 1-2 seconds will cause moderate, localized pain, 3-4 seconds will cause even more serious pain and

muscle spasms/contraction and 5 seconds plus has been known to cause an assailant to collapse and/or experience short term men- tal/physical confusion. With this said, Yellow Jacket® does not promise any of these e�ects at these speci�c time frames. Pain is a subjective term when an attempt is made to classify its intensity. In a self- defense application, anticipate a minimal e�ect on the attacker so you are prepared to a�ect your escape once the deployment of the Yellow Jacket® has created a temporary impairment for the attacker. Be prepared to exploit any opening to escape.

Overall e�ectiveness is determined by many other factors such as layers of clothing, weapons/close combat training undergone by the attacker and/ or victim, voltage of the stun gun and aggression/ physiological state of the attacker.

What is the di˜ erence between a taser and a stun gun?A lot of people use the term “taser” and “stun gun” interchangeably, but there are signi�cant di�erences between the two.

FAQ’s:

What is a Yellow Jacket® (Case)?Yellow Jacket® is the world’s �rst Smartphone stun gun case. Yellow Jacket® protects your phone, your assets & you! The case has 2 safety features that help to prevent accidental discharge while being easily and instantly deployable. The additional battery within Yellow Jacket® provides your phone an extra battery charge.

Aren’t stun guns illegal?Stun guns, also known as electroshock weapons, are legal in most of the world. Take the time to educate yourself on smart stun gun use by checking out your State and Local laws before possessing a Yellow Jacket®. To see a list of states and countries that ban stun guns visit: www.yellowjacketcase.com/support

Who can and cannot purchase a Yellow Jacket® Case? Stun guns are legal to own in most states by people 18 years of age and older. A handful of states require owners to prove that they are not convicted felons, while other states have bans on carrying stun guns at speci�c places such as schools, courthouses and other public buildings. California is the only state that requires your

stun gun to have a serial code on it.Many people think they know the legality and e�ects of stun guns without ever having done the research themselves. Don’t let these naysayers stop you from being protected legally.

What features does the Yellow Jacket® o˜ er that a typical smartphone case doesn’t?Yellow Jacket® provides three (3) main bene�ts not found in any other smartphone case: it protects the phone, provides a battery backup charge and conceals a high-voltage stun gun integrated for self-defense.

Can the Yellow Jacket® a˜ ect/harm my phone in any way?Yellow Jacket® has a special barrier that prevents any potential interference with the phone.

Can the Yellow Jacket® really charge my phone? Yellow Jacket® contains a charging dock that remains plugged in to your phone when the case is assembled and your phone is attached to it. When the charging button is depressed on the back of the device, power �ows through the dock into the phone.

Can I bring my Yellow Jacket® Case on my school’s campus?Every university and college is di�erent. Consult your school’s student handbook for its rules on defensive weapons.

Can I bring my Yellow Jacket® Case through an airport and onto a commercial plane?No, don’t try to do this unless you are prepared to have your Yellow Jacket® con�scated and you yourself detained. HOWEVER, you can safely package your Yellow Jacket® and place it into your checked baggage and put it back on your smartphone after you have left the airport once you have arrived at your destination. If you are �ying on a private plane, consult the airlines and sta� before getting on the plane with your Yellow Jacket®.

What are the e˜ ects of a shock from the Yellow Jacket®?Yellow Jacket® will cause moderate to severe pain and de�nite discomfort to the person it is used on. The stun gun shock’s severity depends greatly on where it is applied on the body and how long it is applied. We recommend for our customers to aim for the torso, rib cage, shoulder or lower neck area. Applying for the duration of 1-2 seconds will cause moderate, localized pain, 3-4 seconds will cause even more serious pain and

muscle spasms/contraction and 5 seconds plus has been known to cause an assailant to collapse and/or experience short term men- tal/physical confusion. With this said, Yellow Jacket® does not promise any of these e�ects at these speci�c time frames. Pain is a subjective term when an attempt is made to classify its intensity. In a self- defense application, anticipate a minimal e�ect on the attacker so you are prepared to a�ect your escape once the deployment of the Yellow Jacket® has created a temporary impairment for the attacker. Be prepared to exploit any opening to escape.

Overall e�ectiveness is determined by many other factors such as layers of clothing, weapons/close combat training undergone by the attacker and/ or victim, voltage of the stun gun and aggression/ physiological state of the attacker.

What is the di˜ erence between a taser and a stun gun?A lot of people use the term “taser” and “stun gun” interchangeably, but there are signi�cant di�erences between the two. Stun guns are contact weapons and must be applied at close range while Tasers propel tethered darts at the attacker using a compressed air cartridge. These darts stick into the skin via pronged barbs. Stun guns also have a lower amperage and higher voltage than tasers, which make them

intrinsically safer in case of an accidental discharge. Yellow Jacket® will cause moderate to severe localized pain and de�nite discomfort to the person it is used on. A stun gun shock’s severity depends greatly on where it is applied on the body and how long it is applied. Neither of these weapons is designed to kill under normal use.

Can my Yellow Jacket® be used to defend against canine attacks?Yes. It is not advisable to intentionally place yourself in a position of encouraging such an attack by an animal. It is best to avoid the areas where such an attack could take place. However, applying the Yellow Jacket® to the head, neck or ribcage of a dog will have a similar a�ect as when it is applied to a human. Extending the unit out in front of you and dry �ring a 1-2 second “burst,” will many times unnerve the dog as it will see the electric arc, hear the loud popping/ snapping sound and even smell the burning ozone from the high-voltage discharge. This may prevent such an attack from occurring. However, a determined or rabid animal will not easily be dissuaded so be prepared to apply the Yellow Jacket® to the attacking animal if needed.

Will the Yellow Jacket® Phone Case be releasing other devices that can be used on other Smartphone conÿgurations?Yes. Other Smartphone con�gurations are in the R&D process now. Our �rst Smartphone phone case designs were developed for the Apple® iPhone® cellular devices. We will soon be releasing our Android based designs as well.

1. Begin by removing the iPhone® case from the stun gun pack. To do this, depress case lock button and push vertically (up). The case will unlock from the base and move upwards about an inch.2. Pull the case away from the base in the opposite, horizontal direction. The case will depart from the stun gun base at a 45° angle.3. Place your iPhone® into the protective TPU case. Do this by gently pulling the sides away from the case while maneuvering the iPhone® into place.

4. Once in place, lock your iPhone® and TPU case into the stun gun pack by aligning the bottom of the slots on the iPhone® case with the locking piers that extrude from the stun gun base, place the two together, and then move the iPhone® case down until it �rmly sits completely �ush along the bottom of the iPhone® Lightning® connector charging dock.5. To test this �t, turn on the battery charger on the stun gun case. If the iPhone® begins to charge, the case is assembled and ready to go.6. To disassemble, repeat steps 1 and 2.

Charging your Yellow Jacket® On-Board Battery:To charge your Yellow Jacket®, perform the following steps:1. Make sure the unit is in the Power-o� position (safety switch is DOWN) during charging.2. While the device is charging, the LED lights on the back of the case will pulsate through their cycle. Once the device is fully charged all four of the LED lights will glow a solid color. Charge for approximately four (4) hours.3. To charge your Smartphone without removing it from the Yellow Jacket® device, move the safety switch to the standby position. Check your Smartphone battery charging indicator for feedback as to its battery disposition.

Charging your phone with the Yellow Jacket® Back- up Battery:

Initiate the charge function by pressing the LED check indicator button twice on the back of the case, located near the LED lights. When your phone is actively charging, the LED lights will stay on and you should see a charging symbol initiate on your phone home screen. The LED lights will stay on as your phone charges. To turn o� the phone charging function, double click the button again.

Indicators:STUN-READY INDICATOR: When the Stun Gun Activation Switch is moved forward to the stun-ready position, the RED light will glow through the switch/tab, indicating the Yellow Jacket® is ready to be discharged.

CHARGING INDICATOR: When you charge the Yellow Jacket®, the LED charging indicators will pulsate or cycle through the four LED indicators located on the back of the device. When fully charged, all four LED lights shall remain on.

How to check your Yellow Jacket® battery:

1. Press the battery meter button on the lower back portion of Yellow Jacket® stun gun.2. Notice the (4) LED lights beside the battery meter button. From left to right, they indicate the battery charge level.3. The �rst four battery level lights will turn on, indicating the quarter of battery charge it represents that remains. For example, if 2 of the 4 lights come on, that means your case still has 50 percent of the charge remaining.4. You can repeat this throughout the day to see how much battery you can deliver to charge your iPhone®.5. There is a reserve charge for the stun gun, meaning it will work for a short duration even if the battery charge runs out and it no longer charges the iPhone®. (We recom-mend charging the case before this occurs)

How to Use the Stun Gun:1. Turn on Yellow Jacket® by pushing the Safety Switch to Stun-Ready Position (UP Position). As the Stun- Ready Safety Switch is slid FORWARD, it will expose a RED DOT that indicates the unit is powered up and ready for use.2. Push the Stun Gun Activation Switch forward to expose the two electrodes at the top of the Yellow Jacket® Case. When the

switch is pushed into the forward position, the switch will light up RED, thus indicating the unit is ready to be discharged.3. “Push DOWN and Hold” the Stun Gun Activation Switch/ Button to discharge the unit. The unit will continue to discharge electricity as long as the switch/ button is depressed.4. DO NOT PLACE YOUR HAND NEAR THE CONTACT ELECTRODES OR YOU MAY RECEIVE A STRONG SHOCK!

Warning: DO NOT �re the case in the air for more than 2 seconds, unless applying your Yellow Jacket® against an attacker. This is known as dry �ring and can cause irreversible, warranty-voiding damage to yourYellow Jacket®.

Safety Guidelines:Yellow Jacket® has two (2) safety features to prevent accidental discharge.Safety Switch: This switch prevents the activator button from �ring the unit unless it is moved into the “ON” or up position.Stun Gun Activation Switch: This switch when slid into the forward position exposes the electrodes. The electrodes must be exposed in order for the device to �re. Do not extend or expose the electrodes unless you are prepared to use the device. This same switch/tab acts as the “trigger” to initiate the electrical discharge of the unit. Push and hold the Stun Gun Activation Switch downward (inward) with enough

pressure to activate (trigger) the Yellow Jacket® Phone Case.Placing the Yellow Jacket® in Safe or “Standby” Mode: Slide the Stun Gun Activation Switch backward (towards the base of the unit) to return the unit to SAFE or STANDBY mode. The electrodes will not be protruding from the top of the case when the unit has successfully been placed in SAFE or STANDBY mode. When the Yellow Jacket® is placed in this con�guration, it cannot be activated for electrical discharge and the electrodes are not visible, thus protecting them as well.

Technical notes about your case:• If your electrodes are engaged, you will see a bright blue and white current of electricity creating a continuous arc between the electrodes and a loud zapping or snapping sound. The arc between the electrodes can reach a half-inch high.• Charge Yellow Jacket® at least four (4) hours before use.• Battery performance is best if recharged only when the battery is at the lowest.• The Yellow Jacket® case will become warm while charging.• Charging at temperatures below 40 degrees Fahrenheit and higher than 100 degrees Fahrenheit adversely a�ects lifetime of batteries.• If the unit has not been used for at least two (2) months, it must be fully charged before use.

Reminder: Be sure to charge your case completely before charging your phone or powering your stun gun.

To Use in Self Defense:In order for any defensive tool to be e�ectively deployed, the user must remain vigilant and aware of their surroundings. Criminals target victims by assessing their vulnerability as well as their lack of situational awareness. Walk with a purpose. Avoid dark and dangerous looking areas. Continually scan your surroundings for danger. TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS.a. Hold your Yellow Jacket® Phone Case with a secure grip. You will most likely have it in your dominant hand as this is how you likely carry your phone. Standing in what is commonly identi�ed as a right-handed boxer’s stance (if you are right handed), hold your free hand in front of your body to parry, de�ect or block incoming blows from your attacker. Holding the Yellow Jacket® Phone Case in your dominant hand, prepare to activate the electrodes by pushing the discharge switch/button and holding it.b. Using moderate pressure, touch an attacker on the targeted areas of their body with the activated electrodes and apply until the attacker has recoiled from contact with the Yellow Jacket® Phone Case or you are able to �ee. Targeted areas of the attacker’s body that deployment of the Yellow Jacket® high-voltage electric discharge should be

directed at include the torso, throat, groin, face and spine. However, “targets of opportunity,” should not be ignored if presented. These targets could include the hands, forearms, armpits, eyes, neck, etc.c. To use as a deterrent, OR to send a warning signal in emergency situations, discharge the weapon with the electrodes facing the potential attacker/assailant. The Yellow Jacket® Phone Case is a CONTACT weapon. You must be determined in your defensive deployment of the device. DO NOT act in a timid fashion. Demonstrate strength and determination. You are in a �ght quite possibly for your life. Act like it!d. To return the Yellow Jacket® Phone Case to a safe condition, simply slide the Stun Gun Activation Switch back causing the electrodes to withdraw to a non-exposed, internal position. The Stun Gun Activation Switch will no longer be RED in color once it is deactivated and in safe standby mode.The methods provided are suggestions on how to defend yourself during an attack.

Yellow Jacket® is not responsible for the out- comes of using these methods. For more self-defense tips visit: www.yellowjacketcase.com/support

Target Areas:The approximately 7,000,000 volt electrical discharge is e�ective on any part of the body but most e�ective when aimed at the neck, pelvis, sternum, throat, face, groin, spine and ribs.

Danger:1. This device is water resistant only. Do not submerge in liquid and be careful to protect against seawater, chemicals or any other �uid. If your Yellow Jacket® gets thoroughly wet, do not use. Do not touch the internal parts; these are high-voltage circuits that could cause severe shock.2. Do not open, disassemble, or modify this device, as it may cause damage to the unit and create an unsafe condition for the user. For internal repairs, consult your Authorized Dealer.3. Keep away from �ammable material.4. Never store near hot objects, in direct sunlight or at a temperature above 140F.5. Electrodes are very sharp and could puncture skin.

Warning:1. Keep out of reach of children, & EDUCATE them about the nature of this case. This is NOT like any other smartphone case. This is NOT a toy. This is a self-defense tool/ weapon.2. Use only in a lawful manner.3. Check state and local laws for stun gun restrictions.4. Do not discharge this device in the air for more than two seconds at a time. Continu-ous “dry” �ring for a longer duration can damage the unit and void the warranty. 5.Yellow Jacket can only be sold to a person 18 years of age or older.

(We recom-mend charging the case before this occurs)

How to Use the Stun Gun:1. Turn on Yellow Jacket® by pushing the Safety Switch to Stun-Ready Position (UP Position). As the Stun- Ready Safety Switch is slid FORWARD, it will expose a RED DOT that indicates the unit is powered up and ready for use.2. Push the Stun Gun Activation Switch forward to expose the two electrodes at the top of the Yellow Jacket® Case. When the

switch is pushed into the forward position, the switch will light up RED, thus indicating the unit is ready to be discharged.3. “Push DOWN and Hold” the Stun Gun Activation Switch/ Button to discharge the unit. The unit will continue to discharge electricity as long as the switch/ button is depressed.4. DO NOT PLACE YOUR HAND NEAR THE CONTACT ELECTRODES OR YOU MAY RECEIVE A STRONG SHOCK!

Warning: DO NOT �re the case in the air for more than 2 seconds, unless applying your Yellow Jacket® against an attacker. This is known as dry �ring and can cause irreversible, warranty-voiding damage to yourYellow Jacket®.

Safety Guidelines:Yellow Jacket® has two (2) safety features to prevent accidental discharge.Safety Switch: This switch prevents the activator button from �ring the unit unless it is moved into the “ON” or up position.Stun Gun Activation Switch: This switch when slid into the forward position exposes the electrodes. The electrodes must be exposed in order for the device to �re. Do not extend or expose the electrodes unless you are prepared to use the device. This same switch/tab acts as the “trigger” to initiate the electrical discharge of the unit. Push and hold the Stun Gun Activation Switch downward (inward) with enough

pressure to activate (trigger) the Yellow Jacket® Phone Case.Placing the Yellow Jacket® in Safe or “Standby” Mode: Slide the Stun Gun Activation Switch backward (towards the base of the unit) to return the unit to SAFE or STANDBY mode. The electrodes will not be protruding from the top of the case when the unit has successfully been placed in SAFE or STANDBY mode. When the Yellow Jacket® is placed in this con�guration, it cannot be activated for electrical discharge and the electrodes are not visible, thus protecting them as well.

Technical notes about your case:• If your electrodes are engaged, you will see a bright blue and white current of electricity creating a continuous arc between the electrodes and a loud zapping or snapping sound. The arc between the electrodes can reach a half-inch high.• Charge Yellow Jacket® at least four (4) hours before use.• Battery performance is best if recharged only when the battery is at the lowest.• The Yellow Jacket® case will become warm while charging.• Charging at temperatures below 40 degrees Fahrenheit and higher than 100 degrees Fahrenheit adversely a�ects lifetime of batteries.• If the unit has not been used for at least two (2) months, it must be fully charged before use.

Reminder: Be sure to charge your case completely before charging your phone or powering your stun gun.

To Use in Self Defense:In order for any defensive tool to be e�ectively deployed, the user must remain vigilant and aware of their surroundings. Criminals target victims by assessing their vulnerability as well as their lack of situational awareness. Walk with a purpose. Avoid dark and dangerous looking areas. Continually scan your surroundings for danger. TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS.a. Hold your Yellow Jacket® Phone Case with a secure grip. You will most likely have it in your dominant hand as this is how you likely carry your phone. Standing in what is commonly identi�ed as a right-handed boxer’s stance (if you are right handed), hold your free hand in front of your body to parry, de�ect or block incoming blows from your attacker. Holding the Yellow Jacket® Phone Case in your dominant hand, prepare to activate the electrodes by pushing the discharge switch/button and holding it.b. Using moderate pressure, touch an attacker on the targeted areas of their body with the activated electrodes and apply until the attacker has recoiled from contact with the Yellow Jacket® Phone Case or you are able to �ee. Targeted areas of the attacker’s body that deployment of the Yellow Jacket® high-voltage electric discharge should be

directed at include the torso, throat, groin, face and spine. However, “targets of opportunity,” should not be ignored if presented. These targets could include the hands, forearms, armpits, eyes, neck, etc.c. To use as a deterrent, OR to send a warning signal in emergency situations, discharge the weapon with the electrodes facing the potential attacker/assailant. The Yellow Jacket® Phone Case is a CONTACT weapon. You must be determined in your defensive deployment of the device. DO NOT act in a timid fashion. Demonstrate strength and determination. You are in a �ght quite possibly for your life. Act like it!d. To return the Yellow Jacket® Phone Case to a safe condition, simply slide the Stun Gun Activation Switch back causing the electrodes to withdraw to a non-exposed, internal position. The Stun Gun Activation Switch will no longer be RED in color once it is deactivated and in safe standby mode.The methods provided are suggestions on how to defend yourself during an attack.

Yellow Jacket® is not responsible for the out- comes of using these methods. For more self-defense tips visit: www.yellowjacketcase.com/support

Target Areas:The approximately 7,000,000 volt electrical discharge is e�ective on any part of the body but most e�ective when aimed at the neck, pelvis, sternum, throat, face, groin, spine and ribs.

Danger:1. This device is water resistant only. Do not submerge in liquid and be careful to protect against seawater, chemicals or any other �uid. If your Yellow Jacket® gets thoroughly wet, do not use. Do not touch the internal parts; these are high-voltage circuits that could cause severe shock.2. Do not open, disassemble, or modify this device, as it may cause damage to the unit and create an unsafe condition for the user. For internal repairs, consult your Authorized Dealer.3. Keep away from �ammable material.4. Never store near hot objects, in direct sunlight or at a temperature above 140F.5. Electrodes are very sharp and could puncture skin.

Warning:1. Keep out of reach of children, & EDUCATE them about the nature of this case. This is NOT like any other smartphone case. This is NOT a toy. This is a self-defense tool/ weapon.2. Use only in a lawful manner.3. Check state and local laws for stun gun restrictions.4. Do not discharge this device in the air for more than two seconds at a time. Continu-ous “dry” �ring for a longer duration can damage the unit and void the warranty. 5.Yellow Jacket can only be sold to a person 18 years of age or older.

The additional battery within Yellow Jacket® provides your phone an extra battery charge.

Aren’t stun guns illegal?Stun guns, also known as electroshock weapons, are legal in most of the world. Take the time to educate yourself on smart stun gun use by checking out your State and Local laws before possessing a Yellow Jacket®. To see a list of states and countries that ban stun guns visit: www.yellowjacketcase.com/support

stun gun to have a serial code on it.Many people think they know the legality and e�ects of stun guns without ever having done the research themselves. Don’t let these naysayers stop you from being protected legally.

What features does the Yellow Jacket® o˜ er that a typical smartphone case doesn’t?Yellow Jacket® provides three (3) main bene�ts not found in any other smartphone case: it protects the phone, provides a battery backup charge and conceals a high-voltage stun gun integrated for self-defense.

Can the Yellow Jacket® a˜ ect/harm my phone in any way?Yellow Jacket® has a special barrier that prevents any potential interference with the phone.

Can the Yellow Jacket® really charge my phone? Yellow Jacket® contains a charging dock that remains plugged in to your phone when the case is assembled and your phone is attached to it. When the charging button is depressed on the back of the device, power �ows through the dock into the phone.

Can I bring my Yellow Jacket® Case on my school’s campus?Every university and college is di�erent. Consult your school’s student handbook for its rules on defensive weapons.

Can I bring my Yellow Jacket® Case through an airport and onto a commercial plane?No, don’t try to do this unless you are prepared to have your Yellow Jacket® con�scated and you yourself detained. HOWEVER, you can safely package your Yellow Jacket® and place it into your checked baggage and put it back on your smartphone after you have left the airport once you have arrived at your destination. If you are �ying on a private plane, consult the airlines and sta� before getting on the plane with your Yellow Jacket®.

What are the e˜ ects of a shock from the Yellow Jacket®?Yellow Jacket® will cause moderate to severe pain and de�nite discomfort to the person it is used on. The stun gun shock’s severity depends greatly on where it is applied on the body and how long it is applied. We recommend for our customers to aim for the torso, rib cage, shoulder or lower neck area. Applying for the duration of 1-2 seconds will cause moderate, localized pain, 3-4 seconds will cause even more serious pain and

muscle spasms/contraction and 5 seconds plus has been known to cause an assailant to collapse and/or experience short term men- tal/physical confusion. With this said, Yellow Jacket® does not promise any of these e�ects at these speci�c time frames. Pain is a subjective term when an attempt is made to classify its intensity. In a self- defense application, anticipate a minimal e�ect on the attacker so you are prepared to a�ect your escape once the deployment of the Yellow Jacket® has created a temporary impairment for the attacker. Be prepared to exploit any opening to escape.

Overall e�ectiveness is determined by many other factors such as layers of clothing, weapons/close combat training undergone by the attacker and/ or victim, voltage of the stun gun and aggression/ physiological state of the attacker.

What is the di˜ erence between a taser and a stun gun?A lot of people use the term “taser” and “stun gun” interchangeably, but there are signi�cant di�erences between the two. Stun guns are contact weapons and must be applied at close range while Tasers propel tethered darts at the attacker using a compressed air cartridge. These darts stick into the skin via pronged barbs. Stun guns also have a lower amperage and higher voltage than tasers, which make them

intrinsically safer in case of an accidental discharge. Yellow Jacket® will cause moderate to severe localized pain and de�nite discomfort to the person it is used on. A stun gun shock’s severity depends greatly on where it is applied on the body and how long it is applied. Neither of these weapons is designed to kill under normal use.

Can my Yellow Jacket® be used to defend against canine attacks?Yes. It is not advisable to intentionally place yourself in a position of encouraging such an attack by an animal. It is best to avoid the areas where such an attack could take place. However, applying the Yellow Jacket® to the head, neck or ribcage of a dog will have a similar a�ect as when it is applied to a human. Extending the unit out in front of you and dry �ring a 1-2 second “burst,” will many times unnerve the dog as it will see the electric arc, hear the loud popping/ snapping sound and even smell the burning ozone from the high-voltage discharge. This may prevent such an attack from occurring. However, a determined or rabid animal will not easily be dissuaded so be prepared to apply the Yellow Jacket® to the attacking animal if needed.

Will the Yellow Jacket® Phone Case be releasing other devices that can be used on other Smartphone conÿgurations?Yes. Other Smartphone con�gurations are in the R&D process now. Our �rst Smartphone phone case designs were developed for the Apple® iPhone® cellular devices. We will soon be releasing our Android based designs as well.

In a self- defense application, anticipate a minimal e˛ ect on the attacker so you are prepared to a˛ ect your escape once the deployment of the Yellow Jacket® has created a temporary impairment for the attacker. Be prepared to exploit any opening to escape.

Overall e˛ ectiveness is determined by many other factors such as layers of clothing, weapons/close combat training undergone by the attacker and/ or victim, voltage of the stun gun and aggression/ physiological state of the attacker.

What is the di˜ erence between a taser and a stun gun?A lot of people use the term “taser” and “stun gun” interchangeably, but there are signiÿcant di˛ erences between the two. Stun guns are contact weapons and must be applied at close range while Tasers propel tethered darts at the attacker using a compressed air cartridge. These darts stick into the skin via pronged barbs. Stun guns also have a lower amperage and higher voltage than tasers, which make them

intrinsically safer in case of an accidental discharge. Yellow Jacket® will cause moderate to severe localized pain and deÿnite discomfort to the person it is used on. A stun gun shock’s severity depends greatly on where it is applied on the body and how long it is applied. Neither of these weapons is designed to kill under normal use.

Can my Yellow Jacket® be used to defend against canine attacks?Yes. It is not advisable to intentionally place yourself in a position of encouraging such an attack by an animal. It is best to avoid the areas where such an attack could take place. However, applying the Yellow Jacket® to the head, neck or ribcage of a dog will have a similar a˛ ect as when it is applied to a human. Extending the unit out in front of you and dry ÿring a 1-2 second “burst,” will many times unnerve the dog as it will see the electric arc, hear the loud popping/ snapping sound and even smell the burning ozone from the high-voltage discharge. This may prevent such an attack from occurring. However, a determined or rabid animal will not easily be dissuaded so be prepared to apply the Yellow Jacket® to the attacking animal if needed.

Will the Yellow Jacket® Phone Case be releasing other devices that can be used on other Smartphone conÿgurations?Yes. Other Smartphone conÿgurations are in the R&D process now. Our ÿrst Smartphone phone case designs were developed for the Apple® iPhone® cellular devices. We will soon be releasing our Android based designs as well.

Pull the case away from the base in the opposite, horizontal direction. The case will depart from the stun gun base at a 45° angle.3. Place your iPhone® into the protective TPU case. Do this by gently pulling the sides away from the case while maneuvering the iPhone® into place.

4. Once in place, lock your iPhone® and TPU case into the stun gun pack by aligning the bottom of the slots on the iPhone® case with the locking piers that extrude from the stun gun base, place the two together, and then move the iPhone® case down until it �rmly sits completely �ush along the bottom of the iPhone® Lightning® connector charging dock.5. To test this �t, turn on the battery charger on the stun gun case. If the iPhone® begins to charge, the case is assembled and ready to go.6. To disassemble, repeat steps 1 and 2.

Charging your Yellow Jacket® On-Board Battery:To charge your Yellow Jacket®, perform the following steps:1. Make sure the unit is in the Power-o� position (safety switch is DOWN) during charging.2. While the device is charging, the LED lights on the back of the case will pulsate through their cycle. Once the device is fully charged all four of the LED lights will glow a solid color. Charge for approximately four (4) hours.3. To charge your Smartphone without removing it from the Yellow Jacket® device, move the safety switch to the standby position. Check your Smartphone battery charging indicator for feedback as to its battery disposition.

Charging your phone with the Yellow Jacket® Back- up Battery:

Initiate the charge function by pressing the LED check indicator button twice on the back of the case, located near the LED lights. When your phone is actively charging, the LED lights will stay on and you should see a charging symbol initiate on your phone home screen. The LED lights will stay on as your phone charges. To turn o� the phone charging function, double click the button again.

Indicators:STUN-READY INDICATOR: When the Stun Gun Activation Switch is moved forward to the stun-ready position, the RED light will glow through the switch/tab, indicating the Yellow Jacket® is ready to be discharged.

CHARGING INDICATOR: When you charge the Yellow Jacket®, the LED charging indicators will pulsate or cycle through the four LED indicators located on the back of the device. When fully charged, all four LED lights shall remain on.

How to check your Yellow Jacket® battery:

1. Press the battery meter button on the lower back portion of Yellow Jacket® stun gun.2. Notice the (4) LED lights beside the battery meter button. From left to right, they indicate the battery charge level.3. The �rst four battery level lights will turn on, indicating the quarter of battery charge it represents that remains. For example, if 2 of the 4 lights come on, that means your case still has 50 percent of the charge remaining.4. You can repeat this throughout the day to see how much battery you can deliver to charge your iPhone®.5. There is a reserve charge for the stun gun, meaning it will work for a short duration even if the battery charge runs out and it no longer charges the iPhone®. (We recom-mend charging the case before this occurs)

How to Use the Stun Gun:1. Turn on Yellow Jacket® by pushing the Safety Switch to Stun-Ready Position (UP Position). As the Stun- Ready Safety Switch is slid FORWARD, it will expose a RED DOT that indicates the unit is powered up and ready for use.2. Push the Stun Gun Activation Switch forward to expose the two electrodes at the top of the Yellow Jacket® Case. When the

switch is pushed into the forward position, the switch will light up RED, thus indicating the unit is ready to be discharged.3. “Push DOWN and Hold” the Stun Gun Activation Switch/ Button to discharge the unit. The unit will continue to discharge electricity as long as the switch/ button is depressed.4. DO NOT PLACE YOUR HAND NEAR THE CONTACT ELECTRODES OR YOU MAY RECEIVE A STRONG SHOCK!

Warning: DO NOT �re the case in the air for more than 2 seconds, unless applying your Yellow Jacket® against an attacker. This is known as dry �ring and can cause irreversible, warranty-voiding damage to yourYellow Jacket®.

Safety Guidelines:Yellow Jacket® has two (2) safety features to prevent accidental discharge.Safety Switch: This switch prevents the activator button from �ring the unit unless it is moved into the “ON” or up position.Stun Gun Activation Switch: This switch when slid into the forward position exposes the electrodes. The electrodes must be exposed in order for the device to �re. Do not extend or expose the electrodes unless you are prepared to use the device. This same switch/tab acts as the “trigger” to initiate the electrical discharge of the unit. Push and hold the Stun Gun Activation Switch downward (inward) with enough

pressure to activate (trigger) the Yellow Jacket® Phone Case.Placing the Yellow Jacket® in Safe or “Standby” Mode: Slide the Stun Gun Activation Switch backward (towards the base of the unit) to return the unit to SAFE or STANDBY mode. The electrodes will not be protruding from the top of the case when the unit has successfully been placed in SAFE or STANDBY mode. When the Yellow Jacket® is placed in this con�guration, it cannot be activated for electrical discharge and the electrodes are not visible, thus protecting them as well.

Technical notes about your case:• If your electrodes are engaged, you will see a bright blue and white current of electricity creating a continuous arc between the electrodes and a loud zapping or snapping sound. The arc between the electrodes can reach a half-inch high.• Charge Yellow Jacket® at least four (4) hours before use.• Battery performance is best if recharged only when the battery is at the lowest.• The Yellow Jacket® case will become warm while charging.• Charging at temperatures below 40 degrees Fahrenheit and higher than 100 degrees Fahrenheit adversely a�ects lifetime of batteries.• If the unit has not been used for at least two (2) months, it must be fully charged before use.

Reminder: Be sure to charge your case completely before charging your phone or powering your stun gun.

To Use in Self Defense:In order for any defensive tool to be e�ectively deployed, the user must remain vigilant and aware of their surroundings. Criminals target victims by assessing their vulnerability as well as their lack of situational awareness. Walk with a purpose. Avoid dark and dangerous looking areas. Continually scan your surroundings for danger. TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS.a. Hold your Yellow Jacket® Phone Case with a secure grip. You will most likely have it in your dominant hand as this is how you likely carry your phone. Standing in what is commonly identi�ed as a right-handed boxer’s stance (if you are right handed), hold your free hand in front of your body to parry, de�ect or block incoming blows from your attacker. Holding the Yellow Jacket® Phone Case in your dominant hand, prepare to activate the electrodes by pushing the discharge switch/button and holding it.b. Using moderate pressure, touch an attacker on the targeted areas of their body with the activated electrodes and apply until the attacker has recoiled from contact with the Yellow Jacket® Phone Case or you are able to �ee. Targeted areas of the attacker’s body that deployment of the Yellow Jacket® high-voltage electric discharge should be

directed at include the torso, throat, groin, face and spine. However, “targets of opportunity,” should not be ignored if presented. These targets could include the hands, forearms, armpits, eyes, neck, etc.c. To use as a deterrent, OR to send a warning signal in emergency situations, discharge the weapon with the electrodes facing the potential attacker/assailant. The Yellow Jacket® Phone Case is a CONTACT weapon. You must be determined in your defensive deployment of the device. DO NOT act in a timid fashion. Demonstrate strength and determination. You are in a �ght quite possibly for your life. Act like it!d. To return the Yellow Jacket® Phone Case to a safe condition, simply slide the Stun Gun Activation Switch back causing the electrodes to withdraw to a non-exposed, internal position. The Stun Gun Activation Switch will no longer be RED in color once it is deactivated and in safe standby mode.The methods provided are suggestions on how to defend yourself during an attack.

Yellow Jacket® is not responsible for the out- comes of using these methods. For more self-defense tips visit: www.yellowjacketcase.com/support

Target Areas:The approximately 7,000,000 volt electrical discharge is e�ective on any part of the body but most e�ective when aimed at the neck, pelvis, sternum, throat, face, groin, spine and ribs.

Danger:1. This device is water resistant only. Do not submerge in liquid and be careful to protect against seawater, chemicals or any other �uid. If your Yellow Jacket® gets thoroughly wet, do not use. Do not touch the internal parts; these are high-voltage circuits that could cause severe shock.2. Do not open, disassemble, or modify this device, as it may cause damage to the unit and create an unsafe condition for the user. For internal repairs, consult your Authorized Dealer.3. Keep away from �ammable material.4. Never store near hot objects, in direct sunlight or at a temperature above 140F.5. Electrodes are very sharp and could puncture skin.

Warning:1. Keep out of reach of children, & EDUCATE them about the nature of this case. This is NOT like any other smartphone case. This is NOT a toy. This is a self-defense tool/ weapon.2. Use only in a lawful manner.3. Check state and local laws for stun gun restrictions.4. Do not discharge this device in the air for more than two seconds at a time. Continu-ous “dry” �ring for a longer duration can damage the unit and void the warranty. 5.Yellow Jacket can only be sold to a person 18 years of age or older.

California is the only state that requires your

stun gun to have a serial code on it.Many people think they know the legality and e�ects of stun guns without ever having done the research themselves. Don’t let these naysayers stop you from being protected legally.

What features does the Yellow Jacket® o˜ er that a typical smartphone case doesn’t?Yellow Jacket® provides three (3) main bene�ts not found in any other smartphone case: it protects the phone, provides a battery backup charge and conceals a high-voltage stun gun integrated for self-defense.

Can the Yellow Jacket® really charge my phone? Yellow Jacket® contains a charging dock that remains plugged in to your phone when the case is assembled and your phone is attached to it. When the charging button is depressed on the back of the device, power �ows through the dock into the phone.

What are the e˜ ects of a shock from the Yellow Jacket®?Yellow Jacket® will cause moderate to severe pain and de�nite discomfort to the person it is used on. The stun gun shock’s severity depends greatly on where it is applied on the body and how long it is applied.

Applying for the duration of 1-2 seconds will cause moderate, localized pain, 3-4 seconds will cause even more serious pain and

What are the effects of a shock from the Yellow Jacket® case?The Yellow Jacket® case will cause moderate to severe pain and definite discomfort to the person it is used on. The stun gun shocks severity depends greatly on where it is applied on the body and how long it is applied. We recommend for our customers to aim for the torso, rib cage, shoulder or lower neck area. Applying for the duration of 1-2 seconds will cause moderate, localized pain, 3-4 seconds will cause even more serious pain and muscle spasms/contraction and 5 seconds plus has been known to cause an assailant to collapse and/or experience short term mental/physical confusion. With this said, Yellow Jacket® does not promise any of these effects at these specific time frames. Pain is a subjective term when an attempt is made to classify its intensity. In a self-defense application, anticipate a minimal effect on the attacker so you are prepared to affect your escape once the deployment of the Yellow Jacket® stun gun has created a temporary impairment for the attacker. Be prepared to exploit any opening to escape. Overall effectiveness is determined by many other factors such as layers of clothing, weapons/close combat training undergone by the attacker and/ or victim, voltage of the stun gun and aggression/ physiological state of the attacker.

intrinsically safer in case of an accidental discharge. Yellow Jacket® will cause moderate to severe localized pain and de�nite discomfort to the person it is used on. A stun gun shock’s severity depends greatly on where it is applied on the body and how long it is applied. Neither of these weapons is designed to kill under normal use.

Can my Yellow Jacket® be used to defend against canine attacks?Yes. It is not advisable to intentionally place yourself in a position of encouraging such an attack by an animal. It is best to avoid the areas where such an attack could take place. However, applying the Yellow Jacket® to the head, neck or ribcage of a dog will have a similar a�ect as when it is applied to a human. Extending the unit out in front of you and dry �ring a 1-2 second “burst,” will many times unnerve the dog as it will see the electric arc, hear the loud popping/ snapping sound and even smell the burning ozone from the high-voltage discharge. This may prevent such an attack from occurring. However, a determined or rabid animal will not easily be dissuaded so be prepared to apply the Yellow Jacket® to the attacking animal if needed.

Will the Yellow Jacket® Phone Case be releasing other devices that can be used on other Smartphone conÿgurations?Yes. Other Smartphone con�gurations are in the R&D process now. Our �rst Smartphone phone case designs were developed for the Apple® iPhone® cellular devices. We will soon be releasing our Android based designs as well.

Do this by gently pulling the sides away from the case while maneuvering the iPhone® into place.

4. Once in place, lock your iPhone® and TPU case into the stun gun pack by aligning the bottom of the slots on the iPhone® case with the locking piers that extrude from the stun gun base, place the two together, and then move the iPhone® case down until it �rmly sits completely �ush along the bottom of the iPhone® Lightning® connector charging dock.5. To test this �t, turn on the battery charger on the stun gun case. If the iPhone® begins to charge, the case is assembled and ready to go.6. To disassemble, repeat steps 1 and 2.

Charging your Yellow Jacket® On-Board Battery:To charge your Yellow Jacket®, perform the following steps:1. Make sure the unit is in the Power-o� position (safety switch is DOWN) during charging.2. While the device is charging, the LED lights on the back of the case will pulsate through their cycle. Once the device is fully charged all four of the LED lights will glow a solid color. Charge for approximately four (4) hours.3. To charge your Smartphone without removing it from the Yellow Jacket® device, move the safety switch to the standby position. Check your Smartphone battery charging indicator for feedback as to its battery disposition.

Charging your phone with the Yellow Jacket® Back- up Battery:

Initiate the charge function by pressing the LED check indicator button twice on the back of the case, located near the LED lights. When your phone is actively charging, the LED lights will stay on and you should see a charging symbol initiate on your phone home screen. The LED lights will stay on as your phone charges. To turn o� the phone charging function, double click the button again.

Indicators:STUN-READY INDICATOR: When the Stun Gun Activation Switch is moved forward to the stun-ready position, the RED light will glow through the switch/tab, indicating the Yellow Jacket® is ready to be discharged.

CHARGING INDICATOR: When you charge the Yellow Jacket®, the LED charging indicators will pulsate or cycle through the four LED indicators located on the back of the device. When fully charged, all four LED lights shall remain on.

How to check your Yellow Jacket® battery:

1. Press the battery meter button on the lower back portion of Yellow Jacket® stun gun.2. Notice the (4) LED lights beside the battery meter button. From left to right, they indicate the battery charge level.3. The �rst four battery level lights will turn on, indicating the quarter of battery charge it represents that remains. For example, if 2 of the 4 lights come on, that means your case still has 50 percent of the charge remaining.4. You can repeat this throughout the day to see how much battery you can deliver to charge your iPhone®.5. There is a reserve charge for the stun gun, meaning it will work for a short duration even if the battery charge runs out and it no longer charges the iPhone®. (We recom-mend charging the case before this occurs)

How to Use the Stun Gun:1. Turn on Yellow Jacket® by pushing the Safety Switch to Stun-Ready Position (UP Position). As the Stun- Ready Safety Switch is slid FORWARD, it will expose a RED DOT that indicates the unit is powered up and ready for use.2. Push the Stun Gun Activation Switch forward to expose the two electrodes at the top of the Yellow Jacket® Case. When the

switch is pushed into the forward position, the switch will light up RED, thus indicating the unit is ready to be discharged.3. “Push DOWN and Hold” the Stun Gun Activation Switch/ Button to discharge the unit. The unit will continue to discharge electricity as long as the switch/ button is depressed.4. DO NOT PLACE YOUR HAND NEAR THE CONTACT ELECTRODES OR YOU MAY RECEIVE A STRONG SHOCK!

Warning: DO NOT �re the case in the air for more than 2 seconds, unless applying your Yellow Jacket® against an attacker. This is known as dry �ring and can cause irreversible, warranty-voiding damage to yourYellow Jacket®.

Safety Guidelines:Yellow Jacket® has two (2) safety features to prevent accidental discharge.Safety Switch: This switch prevents the activator button from �ring the unit unless it is moved into the “ON” or up position.Stun Gun Activation Switch: This switch when slid into the forward position exposes the electrodes. The electrodes must be exposed in order for the device to �re. Do not extend or expose the electrodes unless you are prepared to use the device. This same switch/tab acts as the “trigger” to initiate the electrical discharge of the unit. Push and hold the Stun Gun Activation Switch downward (inward) with enough

pressure to activate (trigger) the Yellow Jacket® Phone Case.Placing the Yellow Jacket® in Safe or “Standby” Mode: Slide the Stun Gun Activation Switch backward (towards the base of the unit) to return the unit to SAFE or STANDBY mode. The electrodes will not be protruding from the top of the case when the unit has successfully been placed in SAFE or STANDBY mode. When the Yellow Jacket® is placed in this con�guration, it cannot be activated for electrical discharge and the electrodes are not visible, thus protecting them as well.

Technical notes about your case:• If your electrodes are engaged, you will see a bright blue and white current of electricity creating a continuous arc between the electrodes and a loud zapping or snapping sound. The arc between the electrodes can reach a half-inch high.• Charge Yellow Jacket® at least four (4) hours before use.• Battery performance is best if recharged only when the battery is at the lowest.• The Yellow Jacket® case will become warm while charging.• Charging at temperatures below 40 degrees Fahrenheit and higher than 100 degrees Fahrenheit adversely a�ects lifetime of batteries.• If the unit has not been used for at least two (2) months, it must be fully charged before use.

Reminder: Be sure to charge your case completely before charging your phone or powering your stun gun.

To Use in Self Defense:In order for any defensive tool to be e�ectively deployed, the user must remain vigilant and aware of their surroundings. Criminals target victims by assessing their vulnerability as well as their lack of situational awareness. Walk with a purpose. Avoid dark and dangerous looking areas. Continually scan your surroundings for danger. TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS.a. Hold your Yellow Jacket® Phone Case with a secure grip. You will most likely have it in your dominant hand as this is how you likely carry your phone. Standing in what is commonly identi�ed as a right-handed boxer’s stance (if you are right handed), hold your free hand in front of your body to parry, de�ect or block incoming blows from your attacker. Holding the Yellow Jacket® Phone Case in your dominant hand, prepare to activate the electrodes by pushing the discharge switch/button and holding it.b. Using moderate pressure, touch an attacker on the targeted areas of their body with the activated electrodes and apply until the attacker has recoiled from contact with the Yellow Jacket® Phone Case or you are able to �ee. Targeted areas of the attacker’s body that deployment of the Yellow Jacket® high-voltage electric discharge should be

directed at include the torso, throat, groin, face and spine. However, “targets of opportunity,” should not be ignored if presented. These targets could include the hands, forearms, armpits, eyes, neck, etc.c. To use as a deterrent, OR to send a warning signal in emergency situations, discharge the weapon with the electrodes facing the potential attacker/assailant. The Yellow Jacket® Phone Case is a CONTACT weapon. You must be determined in your defensive deployment of the device. DO NOT act in a timid fashion. Demonstrate strength and determination. You are in a �ght quite possibly for your life. Act like it!d. To return the Yellow Jacket® Phone Case to a safe condition, simply slide the Stun Gun Activation Switch back causing the electrodes to withdraw to a non-exposed, internal position. The Stun Gun Activation Switch will no longer be RED in color once it is deactivated and in safe standby mode.The methods provided are suggestions on how to defend yourself during an attack.

Yellow Jacket® is not responsible for the out- comes of using these methods. For more self-defense tips visit: www.yellowjacketcase.com/support

Target Areas:The approximately 7,000,000 volt electrical discharge is e�ective on any part of the body but most e�ective when aimed at the neck, pelvis, sternum, throat, face, groin, spine and ribs.

Danger:1. This device is water resistant only. Do not submerge in liquid and be careful to protect against seawater, chemicals or any other �uid. If your Yellow Jacket® gets thoroughly wet, do not use. Do not touch the internal parts; these are high-voltage circuits that could cause severe shock.2. Do not open, disassemble, or modify this device, as it may cause damage to the unit and create an unsafe condition for the user. For internal repairs, consult your Authorized Dealer.3. Keep away from �ammable material.4. Never store near hot objects, in direct sunlight or at a temperature above 140F.5. Electrodes are very sharp and could puncture skin.

Warning:1. Keep out of reach of children, & EDUCATE them about the nature of this case. This is NOT like any other smartphone case. This is NOT a toy. This is a self-defense tool/ weapon.2. Use only in a lawful manner.3. Check state and local laws for stun gun restrictions.4. Do not discharge this device in the air for more than two seconds at a time. Continu-ous “dry” �ring for a longer duration can damage the unit and void the warranty. 5.Yellow Jacket can only be sold to a person 18 years of age or older.

There is a reserve charge for the stun gun, meaning it will work for a short duration even if the battery charge runs out and it no longer charges the iPhone®. (We recom-mend charging the case before this occurs)

How to Use the Stun Gun:1. Turn on Yellow Jacket® by pushing the Safety Switch to Stun-Ready Position (UP Position). As the Stun- Ready Safety Switch is slid FORWARD, it will expose a RED DOT that indicates the unit is powered up and ready for use.2. Push the Stun Gun Activation Switch forward to expose the two electrodes at the top of the Yellow Jacket® Case. When the

switch is pushed into the forward position, the switch will light up RED, thus indicating the unit is ready to be discharged.3. “Push DOWN and Hold” the Stun Gun Activation Switch/ Button to discharge the unit. The unit will continue to discharge electricity as long as the switch/ button is depressed.4. DO NOT PLACE YOUR HAND NEAR THE CONTACT ELECTRODES OR YOU MAY RECEIVE A STRONG SHOCK!

Warning: DO NOT �re the case in the air for more than 2 seconds, unless applying your Yellow Jacket® against an attacker. This is known as dry �ring and can cause irreversible, warranty-voiding damage to yourYellow Jacket®.

Safety Guidelines:Yellow Jacket® has two (2) safety features to prevent accidental discharge.Safety Switch: This switch prevents the activator button from �ring the unit unless it is moved into the “ON” or up position.Stun Gun Activation Switch: This switch when slid into the forward position exposes the electrodes. The electrodes must be exposed in order for the device to �re. Do not extend or expose the electrodes unless you are prepared to use the device. This same switch/tab acts as the “trigger” to initiate the electrical discharge of the unit. Push and hold the Stun Gun Activation Switch downward (inward) with enough

pressure to activate (trigger) the Yellow Jacket® Phone Case.Placing the Yellow Jacket® in Safe or “Standby” Mode: Slide the Stun Gun Activation Switch backward (towards the base of the unit) to return the unit to SAFE or STANDBY mode. The electrodes will not be protruding from the top of the case when the unit has successfully been placed in SAFE or STANDBY mode. When the Yellow Jacket® is placed in this con�guration, it cannot be activated for electrical discharge and the electrodes are not visible, thus protecting them as well.

Technical notes about your case:• If your electrodes are engaged, you will see a bright blue and white current of electricity creating a continuous arc between the electrodes and a loud zapping or snapping sound. The arc between the electrodes can reach a half-inch high.• Charge Yellow Jacket® at least four (4) hours before use.• Battery performance is best if recharged only when the battery is at the lowest.• The Yellow Jacket® case will become warm while charging.• Charging at temperatures below 40 degrees Fahrenheit and higher than 100 degrees Fahrenheit adversely a�ects lifetime of batteries.• If the unit has not been used for at least two (2) months, it must be fully charged before use.

Reminder: Be sure to charge your case completely before charging your phone or powering your stun gun.

To Use in Self Defense:In order for any defensive tool to be e�ectively deployed, the user must remain vigilant and aware of their surroundings. Criminals target victims by assessing their vulnerability as well as their lack of situational awareness. Walk with a purpose. Avoid dark and dangerous looking areas. Continually scan your surroundings for danger. TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS.a. Hold your Yellow Jacket® Phone Case with a secure grip. You will most likely have it in your dominant hand as this is how you likely carry your phone. Standing in what is commonly identi�ed as a right-handed boxer’s stance (if you are right handed), hold your free hand in front of your body to parry, de�ect or block incoming blows from your attacker. Holding the Yellow Jacket® Phone Case in your dominant hand, prepare to activate the electrodes by pushing the discharge switch/button and holding it.b. Using moderate pressure, touch an attacker on the targeted areas of their body with the activated electrodes and apply until the attacker has recoiled from contact with the Yellow Jacket® Phone Case or you are able to �ee. Targeted areas of the attacker’s body that deployment of the Yellow Jacket® high-voltage electric discharge should be

directed at include the torso, throat, groin, face and spine. However, “targets of opportunity,” should not be ignored if presented. These targets could include the hands, forearms, armpits, eyes, neck, etc.c. To use as a deterrent, OR to send a warning signal in emergency situations, discharge the weapon with the electrodes facing the potential attacker/assailant. The Yellow Jacket® Phone Case is a CONTACT weapon. You must be determined in your defensive deployment of the device. DO NOT act in a timid fashion. Demonstrate strength and determination. You are in a �ght quite possibly for your life. Act like it!d. To return the Yellow Jacket® Phone Case to a safe condition, simply slide the Stun Gun Activation Switch back causing the electrodes to withdraw to a non-exposed, internal position. The Stun Gun Activation Switch will no longer be RED in color once it is deactivated and in safe standby mode.The methods provided are suggestions on how to defend yourself during an attack.

Yellow Jacket® is not responsible for the out- comes of using these methods. For more self-defense tips visit: www.yellowjacketcase.com/support

Target Areas:The approximately 7,000,000 volt electrical discharge is e�ective on any part of the body but most e�ective when aimed at the neck, pelvis, sternum, throat, face, groin, spine and ribs.

Danger:1. This device is water resistant only. Do not submerge in liquid and be careful to protect against seawater, chemicals or any other �uid. If your Yellow Jacket® gets thoroughly wet, do not use. Do not touch the internal parts; these are high-voltage circuits that could cause severe shock.2. Do not open, disassemble, or modify this device, as it may cause damage to the unit and create an unsafe condition for the user. For internal repairs, consult your Authorized Dealer.3. Keep away from �ammable material.4. Never store near hot objects, in direct sunlight or at a temperature above 140F.5. Electrodes are very sharp and could puncture skin.

Warning:1. Keep out of reach of children, & EDUCATE them about the nature of this case. This is NOT like any other smartphone case. This is NOT a toy. This is a self-defense tool/ weapon.2. Use only in a lawful manner.3. Check state and local laws for stun gun restrictions.4. Do not discharge this device in the air for more than two seconds at a time. Continu-ous “dry” �ring for a longer duration can damage the unit and void the warranty. 5.Yellow Jacket can only be sold to a person 18 years of age or older.

Aren’t stun guns illegal?Stun guns, also known as electroshock weapons, are legal in most of the world. Take the time to educate yourself on smart stun gun use by checking out your State and Local laws before possessing a Yellow Jacket®. To see a list of states and countries that ban stun guns visit: www.yellowjacketcase.com/support

Who can and cannot purchase a Yellow Jacket® Case? Stun guns are legal to own in most states by people 18 years of age and older. A handful of states require owners to prove that they are not convicted felons, while other states have bans on carrying stun guns at speci�c places such as schools, courthouses and other public buildings. California is the only state that requires your

stun gun to have a serial code on it.Many people think they know the legality and e�ects of stun guns without ever having done the research themselves. Don’t let these naysayers stop you from being protected legally.

What features does the Yellow Jacket® o˜ er that a typical smartphone case doesn’t?Yellow Jacket® provides three (3) main bene�ts not found in any other smartphone case: it protects the phone, provides a battery backup charge and conceals a high-voltage stun gun integrated for self-defense.

Can the Yellow Jacket® a˜ ect/harm my phone in any way?Yellow Jacket® has a special barrier that prevents any potential interference with the phone.

Can the Yellow Jacket® really charge my phone? Yellow Jacket® contains a charging dock that remains plugged in to your phone when the case is assembled and your phone is attached to it. When the charging button is depressed on the back of the device, power �ows through the dock into the phone.

Can I bring my Yellow Jacket® Case on my school’s campus?Every university and college is di�erent. Consult your school’s student handbook for its rules on defensive weapons.

Can I bring my Yellow Jacket® Case through an airport and onto a commercial plane?No, don’t try to do this unless you are prepared to have your Yellow Jacket® con�scated and you yourself detained. HOWEVER, you can safely package your Yellow Jacket® and place it into your checked baggage and put it back on your smartphone after you have left the airport once you have arrived at your destination. If you are �ying on a private plane, consult the airlines and sta� before getting on the plane with your Yellow Jacket®.

What are the e˜ ects of a shock from the Yellow Jacket®?Yellow Jacket® will cause moderate to severe pain and de�nite discomfort to the person it is used on. The stun gun shock’s severity depends greatly on where it is applied on the body and how long it is applied. We recommend for our customers to aim for the torso, rib cage, shoulder or lower neck area. Applying for the duration of 1-2 seconds will cause moderate, localized pain, 3-4 seconds will cause even more serious pain and

muscle spasms/contraction and 5 seconds plus has been known to cause an assailant to collapse and/or experience short term men- tal/physical confusion. With this said, Yellow Jacket® does not promise any of these e�ects at these speci�c time frames. Pain is a subjective term when an attempt is made to classify its intensity. In a self- defense application, anticipate a minimal e�ect on the attacker so you are prepared to a�ect your escape once the deployment of the Yellow Jacket® has created a temporary impairment for the attacker. Be prepared to exploit any opening to escape.

Overall e�ectiveness is determined by many other factors such as layers of clothing, weapons/close combat training undergone by the attacker and/ or victim, voltage of the stun gun and aggression/ physiological state of the attacker.

What is the di˜ erence between a taser and a stun gun?A lot of people use the term “taser” and “stun gun” interchangeably, but there are signi�cant di�erences between the two. Stun guns are contact weapons and must be applied at close range while Tasers propel tethered darts at the attacker using a compressed air cartridge. These darts stick into the skin via pronged barbs. Stun guns also have a lower amperage and higher voltage than tasers, which make them

intrinsically safer in case of an accidental discharge. Yellow Jacket® will cause moderate to severe localized pain and de�nite discomfort to the person it is used on. A stun gun shock’s severity depends greatly on where it is applied on the body and how long it is applied. Neither of these weapons is designed to kill under normal use.

Can my Yellow Jacket® be used to defend against canine attacks?Yes. It is not advisable to intentionally place yourself in a position of encouraging such an attack by an animal. It is best to avoid the areas where such an attack could take place. However, applying the Yellow Jacket® to the head, neck or ribcage of a dog will have a similar a�ect as when it is applied to a human. Extending the unit out in front of you and dry �ring a 1-2 second “burst,” will many times unnerve the dog as it will see the electric arc, hear the loud popping/ snapping sound and even smell the burning ozone from the high-voltage discharge. This may prevent such an attack from occurring. However, a determined or rabid animal will not easily be dissuaded so be prepared to apply the Yellow Jacket® to the attacking animal if needed.
