Starting a shift
We recommend checking a few things before starting a shift:
• Before you undock the camera, make sure that the docking status is green, which indicates that the battery is charged, all
files are transferred, and that the software is up to date.
• If you're using self-assign camera assignment, tap your self-assign tag on the RFID reader. All LEDs on the self-assigned
camera flash green, indicating that it's ready to be undocked. You must undock the camera within 15 seconds after
tapping the self-assign tag. Only one user can self-assign a camera at a time.
• If you're connecting the camera to a holster sensor, make sure that it is in the camera's range within 10 minutes after you
undock the camera. Under normal circumstances the range is 5–10 m (16–33 ft.).
• When you undock the camera, it restarts. This takes about 20 seconds, after which the camera is ready to use.
• Clean the window, using a dry, nonabrasive cloth. See Cleaning for more cleaning recommendations.
• Optionally, use the live view in AXIS Body Worn Assistant to check your camera image, making sure that it is working
properly and that the camera orientation is okay.
Ending a shift
Important
Always dock your body worn camera after a shift. This ensures that:
• the camera battery is charged before the next shift
• all content is uploaded to the system controller
• the camera's software is up to date
• camera settings and user configuration is synchronized with the system
• When you dock the camera, it restarts. After about 10 seconds the status LEDs start pulsing with amber light. After another
10 seconds the camera starts uploading content. The docking status LED shows amber light.
• It takes 3–6.5 hours to fully charge a depleted battery.
• The time to upload recorded video varies. For example, 12 hours of recorded video can take up to about 30 minutes to
upload to the system controller, depending on the bitrate of the video recordings.
Note
If a camera is not docked for eight weeks, it's locked by the system for security reasons, see Unlock cameras.
Battery health
To ensure optimal battery capacity throughout the life of the product, follow these recommendations on normal use.
NOTICE TICE
NO NO TICE
• Always use the camera within the operating temperature range -20°C (-4 °F) to 55°C (131 °F). Using the camera outside
of the specified temperature range damages the battery.
• Always charge the camera within the charging temperature range -0°C (32 °F) to 40°C (104 °F). Charging the camera
outside of the specified temperature range damages the battery.
• Do not leave the camera in your car. Temperatures in parked cars can exceed the specified temperature range.
• Always recharge a camera that is turned off with a low battery, as soon as possible. The battery discharges over time, which
shortens the expected battery life.
• Do not leave a fully charged camera on the docking station or connected to USB charging for a long time. It can shorten
the expected battery life.
To ensure optimal battery capacity throughout the life of the product, follow these recommendations on storage.
