EVERY SINGLE TIME YOU MAKE CHANGES IN THE “VEHICLE SETTINGS”

(ENGINE OFF) MENU OR UNMARRY, YOU MUST PERFORM A FULL REBOOT AND TWO
SLEEP CYCLES. THIS PROCESS IS EXPLAINED HERE:

How to perform a FULL REBOOT AND TWO SLEEP CYCLES

• After making all of your changes, scroll to “full reboot?” and select it.
• Wait for the countdown, then perform two sleep cycles.
• The quickest way to do two sleep cycles is to turn the ignition off, open and
close the driver’s door and wait about 60 seconds AFTER the dash goes dark,
then turn the ignition on (but not the engine) and repeat once more.
• This step is critical after changing settings or settings might not save, or you
may find that the dash doesn’t shut down, which can result in a dead battery.

Full Reboots should be performed on level ground, with the wheels

straight and with your foot off the brakes.

Returning to Stock (Unmarry)

SELECT “UNMARRY?” FROM THE VEHICLE SETTINGS MENU AND PERFORM THE
STEPS ABOVE TO RETURN YOUR VEHICLE TO STOCK CONFIGURATION*
*Your Tazer stores the configuration present when it’s Married. That will be what
it returns to when you Unmarry, even if it wasn’t stock.
You should Unmarry and remove your Tazer before dealer service
or if you wish to use your Tazer in another vehicle.

UPDATING/LIGHT SHOW CONFIGURATION

Updating your Tazer firmware is done with the Z Automotive Programming Utility, which requires
a computer or other device running Windows or MacOS Catalina or newer and an available
USB port. The ZPU User Guide at the link above explains how to install ZPU and how to perform
firmware updates. If you misplace or damage your USB cable, you can replace it with any
common “USB Mini B” data/charging cable.

Please see the accompanying “Light Show Configuration Guide” to configure your
Tazer JL Mini’s light show options in ZPU

UNMARRYING YOUR TAZER

To Unmarry your Tazer, select “Unmarry” from the Vehicle Settings
Menu (not Live). Then perform a “Full Reboot” and two sleep cycles
as described on page 6. All of your settings will revert to whatever
they were when you originally Married your Tazer.
You should Unmarry and remove your Tazer before dealer service
or if you wish to use your Tazer in another vehicle.

The Unmarry Key

NOTE: This feature is only for when your
Tazer is Married to another vehicle.
If you receive a Tazer second-hand, or lose access to your vehicle without unmarrying your Tazer and
receive the “Not VIN XXXX” error:
1. Navigate to the “UnmryNo” item in the Tazer’s EVIC menu, described on page 7.
2. Write this key down, and visit this URL to purchase our Unmarry Service, where you’ll be prompted to
enter that key: https://www.zautomotive.com/product/unmarry-key/
3. Return to the UM Key option in the EVIC menu and hit (Left Arrow + Cruise+/-) to begin entering the
code provided with your purchase.
4. Press Left + Cruise On/Off to proceed to the next character.
5. Once you’ve entered the last (eighth) digit, your Tazer will report whether the unmarry has succeeded
or failed.
