Step 1:
Recording
The AXON body camera has two operating modes. The default mode, or BUFFERING
mode, provides pre-event buffering 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 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.
Step 2:
Camera Operation LED
The AXON body camera's operation LED displays the system's current operating
mode.

To 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 notifications).
•
The operation LED will blink red.
Event Button
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 first 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 off.
Step 3:
Battery LED
The camera's battery LED displays the battery's remaining capacity, when the device
is being used or when charging.
