Chapter 5: Axon Signal Operations

Axon Signal technology is included with the Axon Body 2 camera. However, your agency's administrator must
have activated the Axon Signal capability for it to work.
When it is active, Axon Signal technology takes your Axon Body 2 camera from BUFFERING to EVENT mode auto-
matically.
Emergency vehicles can be equipped with an Axon Signal Unit (ASU). With light bar activation, or other activation
triggers, the ASU sends a signal to your Axon Body 2 camera. Upon processing this signal, your Axon camera tran-
sitions from BUFFERING to EVENT mode. When your camera starts recording, you will hear two beeps.
The ASU has a range of approximately 30 feet (9.1 meters). Another vehicle's light bar activation may cause your
Axon camera to start recording if the light bar is equipped to do so.
The ASU can only send a signal to tell the camera to start recording. Axon Signal technology does not end record-
ing. If a light bar is turned off, the camera will continue to record.
The ASU cannot turn an Axon system on. If the Axon Body 2 camera is turned off, the camera will not record even
if an ASU sends an activation signal.
The ASU is purchased separately from the Axon Body 2 camera.
