The side on which you wear the camera is configured through the Evidence Sync software. Try wearing your camera on your dominant side and your non-dominant side to find what works best for you.

To Camera To Controller The Axon Flex camera has a circular bump on one side, at the rear of the camera. The cable connector has a round opening that fits around the bump, providing added security when connected. Opening in Connector Protruding Bump on Camera If you do not connect the cable to the camera properly, the connection may not be secure.
Preparing the Magnetic Clip Assembly The most basic way to mount the camera to clothing involves two magnetic pieces. The two magnetic clips pictured below are the foundation for many camera mounting options. Each clip features a set of teeth on one side and a ring on the other.
Mounting the Axon Flex Camera to Your Shirt Collar Push the two parts of the universal magnetic clip together on each side of your collar. Tug on the parts slightly to confirm the connection is secure. Attach the camera assembly to the magnetic clip on the outside of your shirt.
NOTE: An agency can turn off the BUFFERING mode. If your agency has deactivated the BUFFERING mode, your Axon system will operate the same way as described in this manual, but the camera will not record anything until you double-press the EVENT button.
To end a recording and turn off the system, move the on/off switch to the “off” position. When you end a recording with the on/off switch you will not go into BUFFERING mode; instead the system will turn off completely. NOTE: An event not recorded by the Axon Flex system cannot be played back or downloaded to your computer. Battery Status Press the Battery button to determine the percentage remaining in the controller battery.
• Pressing the Battery button will momentarily light both the Operation LED and the Battery LED, displaying the current operating mode and battery level. For interpreting the LED colors, see Axon Flex Controller in Chapter 2: Hardware in this manual.
Audio Prompts The Axon Flex system 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 Axon Flex system. NOTE: The camera must be connected to the controller for audio prompts to be heard. If the camera and controller are connected and you still do not hear the audio prompts, check the camera’s volume.
If a light bar is turned off, the camera will continue to record. The ASU cannot turn an Axon system on. If the controller is turned off, the camera will not record even if an ASU sends an activation signal.
Use a soft, damp cloth to clean the surface of the system components. Do not use harsh cleaners or solvents. Do not immerse the system components in water or cleaning solutions. If the Axon Flex camera lens becomes dirty, use a lens blower brush to clean it and then wipe it with a soft cloth if necessary.
If experiencing difficulty with the Axon Mobile application, power down the mobile device, turn the device back on, and re-pair your smart phone with the Axon Flex camera. See the Axon Mobile for Android Devices User Manual or Axon Mobile for IOS Devices User Manual, as appropriate, for more information.
