Recording
The Axon Fleet 2 wireless microphone has two operating modes. The
BUFFERING mode and EVENT (recording) mode.
1. Turn the system on. Move the Power Switch to the ON position.
•The wireless microphone conducts start-up checks and syncs
mode indications with the front camera. When the front camera
begins BUFFERING, the Operation LED on the wireless microphone
will blink green.
2. To record, quickly double-press the EVENT button.
•The moment you double-press the EVENT button, both video and
audio will be recorded. This will continue throughout the duration
of the recording until you terminate the recording. Recording can
also be started using Axon View XL, by momentarily pressing the
EVENT button on Axon Fleet 2 front camera, or when the Axon
Signal Vehicle unit sends a signal.
•At the start of an event and every 2 minutes during an event, the
wireless microphone beeps twice.
• The operation LED will blink red.
3. To mute the audio capture, press and hold the Function button for
three seconds. Press and hold the Function button another 3 seconds
to re-enable the audio capture.
4. Recordings can only be stopped using Axon View XL or the Axon
Fleet 2 Front camera EVENT button.

Recharging the Battery
A fully charged Axon Fleet 2 wireless microphone battery should
provide enough power for approximately 12 hours of normal
operation. Recharging a battery after a 12-hour use can take up to 9
hours if you are recharging your wireless microphone from an in-car
charging dock or Axon Dock. Recharging could take considerably longer
if you are recharging from a computer.
Always recharge a depleted battery as soon as reasonably possible.
You can recharge the Axon Fleet 2 wireless microphone battery with
an in-car charging dock, Evidence Sync cable with a computer, or an
Axon Dock for Axon Body 2 cameras. Using a non-Axon approved wall
charger may degrade device performance and will void the warranty.
Operation LED
The operation LED mirrors Axon Fleet 2 front camera operating
mode, except for error state. When initially powering on the wireless
microphone, the Operation LED will remain solid red until the
wireless microphone is placed in pairing mode.
