Step 1:

Recording

The AXON ex system 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 system 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 system now records audio as well as video.

• The system will beep twice to let you know that recording 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 ex controller is turned o.

Step 6:

Camera Upload Status LED When you plug your camera into the EVIDENCE.com Dock, the LED on the camera displays the system’s status.

System Status Camera bottom LED indication

Initial connection (momentary) Solid red (for 20 seconds or fewer)

In queue awaiting upload Solid yellow

Uploading data Blinking yellow – DO NOT remove the camera from the EVIDENCE.com Dock

Device ready (all videos uploaded successfully) Solid green

Firmware update, internal battery charging, extremely low battery, or memory full Blinking red and yellow – DO NOT remove the camera from the EVIDENCE.com Dock

Network error Blinking red, yellow, and then green

Transfer error, device re-trying to transfer Blinking green and yellow

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 controller is o. Insert the camera and controller into the EVIDENCE.

com Dock as shown.

The EVIDENCE.com Dock automatically uploads the data to EVIDENCE.com.

When a video uploads successfully to EVIDENCE.com, that video is removed

from 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 LED before removing it

from the EVIDENCE.com Dock.

Step 4:

Audio Notication

The AXON ex camera emits beeping sounds called audio prompts to notify you of

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

with the controller.

Operating Mode Audio Notifications

Powering on or o One beep

Recording an event Two beeps (sound every two

minutes)

Press the battery button while the camera is

recording Two beeps

The device is ending an event and returning to

BUFFERING mode One long beep

The controller battery is at 20% capacity or

lower

Four quick beeps (repeating

every 20 seconds)

The system is in buering mode No beeps

Cable disconnect (camera will shut down) One beep

Camera’s memory is full (camera will not record) Three beeps

Step 7:

Using AXON Mobile

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 ex

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 ex videos. (Must be connected to Internet.)

Note: All data is stored on the AXON ex camera. No

videos are stored on your smart device.

Step 8:

Pairing an AXON ex Camera with a Smart Device

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

the AXON ex controller 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 with the AXON ex camera.

5You will hear 3 beeps when devices are paired. The AXON ex system will then

go into BUFFERING mode.
