Chapter 1: Introduction
What Is the Axon Body 2 Camera System?
The Axon Body 2 is a camera system incorporating an audio and video recording device. This camera is designed for use in tough environmental conditions encountered in law enforcement, corrections, military, and security activities. The Axon Body 2 camera is designed to record events for
secure storage, retrieval, and analysis via Evidence.com services. The recorded events are transferred to your storage solution via the Axon Dock, or by using Evidence Sync software installed
on a Windows computer.
The Axon Body 2 camera has 2 operating modes designed to accommodate the needs of law
enforcement, corrections, security, and the military. The default mode, or BUFFERING mode, provides pre-event buering to capture activities that occur prior to the user activating the EVENT
mode. In addition, the Axon View application enables playback of footage on a smart device for
review prior to storing the data.

Camera
Before using an Axon Body 2 camera, ensure it is fully charged and connect it to Evidence.com
via the Axon Dock or Evidence Sync software to ensure it is properly configured. See Battery
LED (Chapter 2) and Charging the Battery (Chapter 6) for more information.
Operating Modes
The Axon Body 2 camera has 2 operating modes:
1 BUFFERING (turning on the camera and starting pre-event buering)
2 EVENT (event recording)
BUFFERING Mode (Turning on the Camera)
1 Move the ON/OFF switch on the camera to the ON position.
With the camera turned on, the Axon system is in the BUFFERING mode. When BUFFERING begins:
• The Operation LED on the camera will blink green.
• The camera will be capturing video but no audio, and will not record to permanent memory
while in BUFFERING mode.
• Buered video duration is 30 seconds by default (00:00:30).
When you activate the EVENT mode, the buered video (not audio) captured directly before the
event, up to 30 seconds, will be saved and attached to the event in permanent memory. This fea-
7
Axon Body 2 Camera User Manual
ture is intended to capture the video of an incident just before your activation of EVENT mode.
With default settings, the system does not capture audio in BUFFERING mode, so anything recorded in that mode will be video-only. Buering mode starts only after the Axon Body 2 camera is turned on. The system does not record when the camera is turned o.
Notes:
• An agency can turn o 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.
• An agency can extend the BUFFERING mode’s duration to 2 minutes total (00:02:00).
• An agency can configure the BUFFERING mode so it records sound as well as video.
EVENT Mode (Starting Recording)
1 When you need to record, quickly double-press the EVENT button on the camera.
The system now records audio as well as video. The “buered” video directly preceding
the event will be saved and attached to the event recording. (Remember, with default settings, the buered video will not contain audio.) The moment you double-press the EVENT
button, both video and audio will be recorded from the camera and GPS coordinates (if
the system is paired to a GPS-capable smart phone) will be recorded. This will continue
throughout the duration of the recording until you terminate the recording.
The camera provides you with indications that it is recording in EVENT mode:
• At the start of an event and every 2 minutes during an event, the system will beep twice.
• The Operation LED on top of the camera will blink red.
2 To stop recording and return to BUFFERING mode, press and hold the EVENT button for
approximately 4 seconds. The system will beep once (with a long tone).
3 To end a recording and turn o the system, move the on/o switch to the “o” position.
When you end a recording with the on/o switch you will not go into BUFFERING mode;
instead the system will turn o completely.
Note: An event not recorded by the camera cannot be played back or downloaded to your
computer.
Muting Audio Recording
If your system administrator has configured your Axon system to do so, you can use the function
button to disable audio recording during an event. This feature may be useful in sensitive situations.
1 Press and hold the Function button for 3 seconds to mute the audio capture.
The Function LED will flash blue while the camera is muted.
2 Press and hold the Function button another 3 seconds to re-enable the audio recording.

Axon Body 2 Camera User Manual
Adding Markers to Recorded Video
The Function button also can be used to add a marker to recorded video that will show when the
video is replayed on Evidence.com and documented in the audit trail for the device. Markers are
most useful for documenting a moment that you will want to jump to quickly at a later time when
re-playing the video. If you want to add a marker to a video while you are recording:
• Press and release the Function button within 1 second.

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 automatically.
Emergency vehicles can be equipped with an Axon Signal Vehicle unit. With light bar activation,
or other activation triggers, the Axon Signal Vehicle unit sends a signal to your Axon Body 2 camera. Upon processing this signal, your Axon camera transitions from BUFFERING to EVENT mode.
When your camera starts recording, you will hear 2 beeps.
The Axon Signal Vehicle unit 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 Axon Signal Vehicle unit can only send a signal to tell the camera to start recording. Axon
Signal technology does not end recording. If a light bar is turned o, the camera will continue to
record.
The Axon Signal Vehicle unit cannot turn an Axon system on. If the Axon Body 2 camera is turned
o, the camera will not record even if an Axon Signal Vehicle unit sends an activation signal.
The Axon Signal Vehicle unit is purchased separately from the Axon Body 2 camera.

Chapter 6: Care and Maintenance
Cleaning the Axon Body 2 Camera
Use a soft, damp cloth to clean the surface of the Axon Body 2 camera. Do not use harsh cleaners
or solvents.
Do not immerse the Axon Body 2 camera in water or cleaning solutions.
If the Axon Body 2 camera lens becomes dirty, use a lens blower brush to clean it and then wipe
it with a soft cloth if necessary.
You may moisten the cloth with isopropyl alcohol.
• Do not use ammonia-based or similar type window cleaners on the camera lens.
• Do not place the lens under running water or apply jets of water to the camera lens.
Charging the Battery
A fully charged camera battery should provide enough power for approximately 12 hours of normal
operation. Recharging a battery after a 12-hour use can take up to 6 hours if you are recharging
your Axon Body 2 camera from a wall outlet or Axon Dock. Recharging could take considerably
longer if you are recharging from a computer.
If the battery depletes significantly during use, you will hear 4 quick tones and vibrations, if
enabled, repeating every 20 seconds. This message indicates that less than approximately 20
percent of the battery capacity remains.
Always recharge a depleted battery as soon as reasonably possible. You can use an Axon Dock,
wall charger, or computer to charge the battery. Using a non-Axon approved wall charger may
degrade device performance and will void the warranty.
If the Axon Body 2 camera is to be stored for a long time, the Battery LED should be yellow when
you put the camera in storage. After an Axon Body 2 camera has been stored 6 months, the
camera should be run until the battery is depleted and then the battery should be recharged.

Your wireless device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to
exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the U.S. Government. These limits are part of comprehensive
guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines
are based on standards that were developed by independent scientific organizations through
periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The standards include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health. Before a
device model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC that it
does not exceed the limit established by the government-adopted requirement for safe exposure.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions,
may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment o
and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit dierent from that to which the receiver is
connected.
• Consult Axon Customer Service for help.

Section 8.3 of RSS-GEN
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of
a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce
potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that
the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful
communication.
Conformément à la réglementation d’Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio ne peut
fonctionner qu’au moyen d’une antenne d’un seul type et d’un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour l’émetteur par Industrie Canada. Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage radioélectrique pour les autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d’antenne et son gain de sorte que
la puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas celle requise pour établir une
communication satisfaisante.
