Operation LED

Step 1:

Recording

The AXON body 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.

Solid Red

Boot Up Mode

Blinking Green

Buering Mode

• 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 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

2 beeps will repeat every 2 minutes (if the system is muted, there will be

no audio notications).

• The operation LED will blink red.

Event Button Blinking Red - Record Mode

3To stop recording and return to BUFFERING mode, press and hold the EVENT

button for at least 3 seconds until there is a long, audible beep.

Because the system does not capture audio in BUFFERING mode, the rst 30

seconds of a recorded event will be video-only (depending on your agency’s

settings). BUFFERING mode starts only after the camera is turned on. The system

does not record when the AXON body camera is turned o.

Step 6:

AXON body EVIDENCE.com Dock Upload Status LED

When you plug your camera into the EVIDENCE.com Dock, the upload status LED on the bottom of the camera displays the system’s status

The AXON Mobile application enables you to replay video and add metadata (GPS,

title, case ID, and category) to your videos using a smart phone or multimedia player.

1Using your smart device, download the AXON Mobile

application from the Google Play store or the iTunes App

Store. Search AXON Mobile.

2On your smart device, open the AXON Mobile application

and follow the onscreen instructions for Bluetooth pairing.

See diagram below (or see Step 8: Pairing an AXON body

camera with a Smart Device).

3To add categories to your videos you will need to sign into

your agency. In the AXON Mobile app go to the Settings

menu, select Agency, enter your email address and select

your agency. You will now be able to add categories to your

AXON body videos. (Must be connected to Internet.)

Note: All data is stored on the AXON body camera. No videos are stored on

your smart device.

Step 8:

Pairing the AXON body Camera with a Smart Device

1While holding down the volume/pairing button, move the ON/OFF switch to

the ON position.

2Wait until you hear 3 beeps. The pairing LED will blink green.

3Release the volume/pairing button.

4Using your smart device’s Bluetooth settings, pair it with the AXON body camera.

5You will hear 3 beeps when the devices are paired. The AXON body camera will

then go into BUFFERING mode.

1. Hold down Pairing/Volume Button 2. Turn on AXON body camera

3. Pairing LED will blink green,

you will hear 3 beeps

Step 4:

Audio Notication

status. These audio prompts usually occur after you perform an action with the

camera.

Recording an event Two beeps (every two minutes)

Press the battery button while the

camera is recording Two beeps

Camera memory is full (camera will not

record). Three beeps

Step 5:

Recharging the Battery and Uploading Data

If you do not have an EVIDENCE.com Dock, upload video with a Windows compatible

computer using EVIDENCE Sync: TASER.com/syncdownload.

1Ensure the AXON body camera is o. Insert the

camera into the EVIDENCE.com Dock as shown.

The EVIDENCE.com Dock automatically uploads

data to EVIDENCE.com, deletes videos from the

camera, and charges the camera. (The camera

must be registered to your EVIDENCE.com

account.)

2At the beginning of the next shift, ensure that

your camera (if one has been assigned to you)

displays with a green upload status LED

before removing it from the EVIDENCE.com

Dock.
