Axon Body 2 Quick Start Guide
English
Recording
The Axon Body 2 camera has two operating modes. The default mode, or BUFFERING
mode, provides pre-event buering to capture activities that occur before you activate
the EVENT (recording) mode.
1Turn the system on. Move the ON/OFF switch to the ON position.
• The camera takes a few seconds to boot up and be ready to record (the red area
under the switch will be exposed with the switch moved to the ON position).
• The operation LED will be solid red and then transition to blinking green when
the system goes into BUFFERING mode.
• The Axon Body 2 camera will go into BUFFERING mode after the boot up
sequence. The BUFFERING mode holds the previous 30 seconds of video [NO
AUDIO] leading up to the beginning of a recording.

2To record, quickly double-press the EVENT button.
• The camera now records audio as well as video.
• The camera will beep twice to let you know that recording has started. The two
beeps will repeat every two minutes (audio notications can be deactivated
if necessary).
• The operation LED will blink red.
3 To add a marker to the video, quickly press and release the Function button.
4To stop audio recording (mute), press and hold the Function button for three
seconds.
5To stop all recording and return to BUFFERING mode, press and hold the EVENT
button for at least three seconds until there is a long, audible beep.
With default settings, the system does not capture audio in BUFFERING mode, so
anything recorded in that mode will be video-only. BUFFERING mode starts only
after the camera is turned on. The system does not record when the Axon Body 2
camera is turned o.
