What happens if the battery is removed during data transfer in the CEW?

When the battery is removed during data transfer in the Conducted Electrical Weapon (CEW), it triggers a "Device Error" blinking light on the dock. This situation occurs because the data transfer process requires a stable power supply to ensure that all information is accurately recorded and transmitted. If the battery is removed, the transfer cannot be completed properly, leading to an error state that alerts the user through visual signals, such as the blinking error light. This indication serves as a prompt for the user to check the device and address the issue caused by the unintended interruption in the data transfer process. Understanding this mechanism is crucial for ensuring the reliability and integrity of the data collected during the field operation.
