The gun will function if the watch is in a distance of up to 10 inches.[4] The Armatix iP1 cannot be accessed or function without the iW1 Active RFID wrist watch.[5][6][7][8] The wrist watch indicates : the charge level of watch & pistol, the number of fired shots within a given time frame, etc. Also, the watch can deactivate the weapon by a time-controlled feature. The Target response system (TRS) can control to fire only on a recognized target or “permitted” target, and the weapon will deactivate if aiming away from the target. The optional Target Control module is an optional feature.[9]
