When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Daryo Apr 30, 2020:
yes I've found it myself by now.

My point is that the Asker is supposed to give usable context information, otherwise it's pure guessing that could lead to the right solution by pure accident ("have a lucky guess" is not exactly a recommended method, you would agree?) but could also lead to something that is total nonsense for the specific ST.
philgoddard Apr 30, 2020:
Daryo Take a chill pill. I told you it's a Taser.
Daryo Apr 30, 2020:
@ Asker your "context information" is unfortunately more or less useless.

Not the first clue about what kind of contraption it's about.

"Pull the trigger" => if this some kind of weapon? Or something totally else, as it could well be?

What kind of "cartridges" is this about? Some kind of ammunition? "Cartridges" of ink for ink-jet printers? "Cartridges" of gaz for a camping stove? .... All that could make a not so small difference regarding the possible meaning of "deploying"!

What would be a "live" cartridge as opposed to a "selected" cartridge? What is "XYZ"?

With what you have given so far, all that is possible is just guessing ...

English term (edited): to deploy the cartridge of a taser
Selected

to "fire" the cartridge // to eject the darts and discharge the current on the target


Using the ARC switch
If you press the ARC switch, the CID will display the deployment cycle duration with the operating mode icon. In the CID shown below, the Warning Arc display has been in effect for 3 seconds. The Semi-Automatic mode icon displays, and the battery is 81–100 percent full.

The trigger and ARC switch work slightly different in the Manual mode than they do in the Semi-Automatic mode. In Manual mode, pulling the trigger does not advance cartridge selection. Instead, the ambidextrous ARC switch is used to select the Smart cartridges. By default, the left cartridge (or the first available cartridge, from left to right) is selected automatically. (This is the left side from your perspective, while pointing the CEW.) Pulling the trigger deploys the left cartridge. Pressing and releasing (quickly tapping once) the ARC switch selects the next available cartridge. An additional trigger pull is required to deploy the next selected cartridge.

A sustained press of the ARC Switch for approximately ½ second or more energizes the front of the cartridges without deploying (discharging) them. See Warning Arc Display for more information. If you have already deployed cartridges, pressing the ARC switch and holding it down supplies energy to the deployed cartridges without deploying any un-discharged cartridges. If you have engaged a target with the first cartridge and contact is good, you can apply additional cycles to a continually resisting subject, if needed, without deploying the remaining cartridge. Holding the ARC switch down continually will arc the CEW until the ARC switch is released or the PPM is depleted, whichever happens first.

Because the ARC switch is ambidextrous, you can press from either side as you hold the CEW in a two-handed grip

once you have the context, it becomes easier to understand the text:

"deployed" is simply used in this ST as an euphemism for "fired", only a taser is "firing" not bullets but darts connected to an electrical charge.


Note from asker:
Yes, it seems to be the exact meaning.

(put into use)

It's talking about making a cartridge ready for use or putting it into use (fine line that depends on context).
Peer comment(s):

neutral Daryo : without having the first clue about this contraption (a.k.a. the "context"), relying only on a dictionary definition sounds to me like the linguistic version of the Russian roulette ...
