Axon Flex 2 Quick Start Guide
English
Recording
The Axon Flex 2 system has 2 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.
1 Turn 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 system will go into BUFFERING mode after the boot up sequence.
With default settings, the BUFFERING mode holds the previous 30
seconds of video [NO AUDIO] leading up to the beginning of a re-
cording.

Blinking green

2 To 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.
3 To 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 cam-
era boots up. The system does not record when the Axon Flex 2 con-
troller is turned o.

Recharging the Battery and Uploading Data
If you do not have an Axon Dock, upload video with a Windows compatible
computer using Evidence Sync: taser.com/syncdownload.
1 Ensure the controller is o. Insert the camera and controller into the
Axon Dock as shown.
The Axon Dock automatically uploads the data from the camera to Evi-
dence.com and recharges the controller battery. 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.)
2 At the beginning of the next shift,
ensure that your camera (if one
has been assigned to you) dis-
plays with a green LED before
removing it from the Axon Dock.
Camera Upload Status LED
When you plug your camera into the Axon Dock, the LED on the camera displays the system’s status.
