Introduction

What Is the Axon Flex System?
The Axon Flex system is a camera system incorporating an audio and video recording device to be worn by you
while performing your job duties. Multiple mounting options are available to customize the system to your needs.
The components are designed for use in tough environmental conditions. The system is designed to record events
in real time for secure storage, retrieval, and analysis via the Evidence.com website or in an Oine conguration to
your local computer. The recorded events are transferred to your storage solution via the evidence transfer manager
(ETM), the Evidence.com Dock, or by using Evidence Sync software installed on a Windows computer.
The system has two operating modes. 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 Mobile application
enables playback of footage on a smart phone for review prior to storing the data.
Instructional videos for using your Axon Flex system are available at www.TASER.com under Training Videos.

Equipment Mounting Options
The Axon Flex system provides you with a variety of ways to wear your camera and carry your controller. Multiple
holster options are available to attach the controller to your shirt or belt; and a variety of mounts enable the camera
to be attached to your Oakley Flak Jacket eyewear, shirt collar or epaulet, load bearing equipment, helmet, cap, or
your vehicle’s dashboard.
Additional information on Axon Flex mounting options is available at www.TASER.com.
Axon Flex Cables and Connectors
Straight-to-Right-Angle Connector
The Axon Flex camera and controller are designed to work with a purpose-built cable, with a straight connector at one end and a right-angle connector at the other. Insert the straight connector into the camera and the
right-angle connector into the controller. The straight connector has jaws designed to grasp camera for added
security. The controller holster has a swing arm designed to t over the connecter and help keep it in place.
These cables are specically calibrated to work with the Axon Flex system. Use of unapproved cables will degrade
system performance and may cause the system to not function properly or at all.
Ensure that your cables are inserted properly into the camera and controller. If the camera’s battery is low, or
the cable is disconnected, your recorded video will be lost.
USB Cable
A USB cable is available to connect the Axon Flex camera directly to your computer.
Do NOT connect your Axon Flex camera to your computer before you have installed the Evidence Sync software.
