Smart Gun Storage

How you store the Biofire Smart Gun is important to ensure it's ready when you need it. Follow these best practices for keeping the Smart Gun charged, connected, and secure in storage while complying with all local laws and ordinances related to firearm storage.

Recommended Storage Practices

Biofire recommends keeping the Smart Gun plugged in to power when not in use to maintain battery charge and support system readiness.

Docked and Charging

  • Connect the Smart Gun to the Dock and leave the Dock plugged in to wall power
  • The Dock maintains a full charge while keeping the system ready to operate
  • The included 6-foot cable allows for flexible placement and the Smart Gun can be stored out of sight (e.g., in a drawer or behind furniture) while the Dock remains visible and powered
  • Supports software updates and maintenance visibility

Direct Wall Charging

  • Disconnect the data cable from the Dock and plug the cable into the wall adapter to charge Smart Gun directly
  • Direct wall charing is ideal if Dock placement is inconvenient, for minimalist setups, when traveling or using temporary storage locations

Long-Term Storage

Remove the battery to preserve battery life if the Smart Gun will be stored for long periods without expecting use (for example at a part-time residence). Before disassembly, verify that the battery is fully charged or confirm the current state of charge.

Please refer to pages 42-43 of the Product Manual for information on disassembly and battery removal.

Storage Tips

  • Select a storage method that supports consistent power and connectivity for the Smart Gun
  • Keep the area around the grip clear
  • The rear display and flyover will both illuminate if an object is too close

Store and charge your Smart Gun in a location that fits your lifestyle. Choose a place that provides both peace of mind and convenient access for you.

Biofire recommends storing your Smart Gun unloaded when not in use. Firearm storage laws vary by jurisdiction, and some states require firearms to be stored separately from ammunition to be considered safely stored. Always review and follow the laws and regulations applicable in your area.
