Introduction
The Axon Fleet 2 wireless microphone works with the Axon Fleet 2 camera system to provide audio for Axon Fleet 2 front camera videos. The wireless microphone is not a stand-alone recording device. The wireless microphone will pick up audio and transmit the audio, using a Radio Frequency (RF) link, to the Junction Box installed in the Axon Fleet 2 vehicle. The Junction box pairs the wireless microphone with the front camera and passes the audio from the microphone to the camera where it is included in the video file.
Before first use, the wireless microphone must be paired to the vehicle’s junction box. On subsequent
uses, the wireless microphone will automatically connect to the junction box when both are powered on.
When the wireless microphone is connected, the front camera on-board microphone records audio from the wireless microphone instead of the on-board microphone. Conversely, the on-board front camera microphone sources the audio if there is no wireless microphone connected.
The video recordings will indicate whether audio was sourced from the local front camera microphone or the wireless microphone. If a video recording was started and audio source changed during the recording, the audio source will also be indicated each time it changes.
The RF link from the wireless microphone to the junction box has a maximum unobstructed range of 1000 ft, but this will vary depending operating environment. If the RF link is lost (for example, if an officer moves out of range or goes into an enclosed metal trailer), the buffering/recording of audio automatically reverts to the Axon Fleet 2 front camera microphone. Once the wireless microphone RF link is re­established, the audio will return to being sourced from the wireless microphone. The wireless microphone will mute audio if the RF link becomes too weak to transmit audio data. Muting occurs when there is not a complete loss of RF link. When the RF link is completely lost, the front camera microphone is selected.
When multiple wireless microphones are in operation:
• The junction box can be paired to multiple wireless microphones, but only one wireless
microphone can be connected to the junction box and streaming audio at a time.
• The wireless microphone can only be paired to one junction box at a time.
• Once paired, if microphone 1 is turned off and microphone 2 is turned on, microphone 2 will
automatically connect.
Getting to know the Axon Fleet 2 Wireless Microphone
The following images show the different components on the Axon Fleet 2 wireless microphone, Model AX1018.
Axon Fleet 2 wireless microphone front
On/Off switch – Turns the wireless microphone’s power on or off.
Microphone – For audio recording.
Speaker – Provides audio notifications.
Function button – Used for device pairing and to mute the device.
EVENT button – Used to start recording (Double-press to start).
Battery status button – When pressed, lights up the Battery LED, which momentarily indicates the
remaining battery capacity only.
Battery LED – When lit, momentarily indicates the remaining battery capacity (with default settings, it does not indicate the operating mode).
When you turn the microphone on, the Operation LED turns solid red until the system is ready to use. Then the Operation LED blinks green (BUFFERING mode).
The microphone can be configured so the Battery LED operates in sync with the Operation LED. In BUFFERING mode both the Operation and Battery LEDs will blink green, and in EVENT mode both will blink red.
If the battery status button is pressed, the battery LED displays the battery status for approximately 10 seconds and then resumes displaying the EVENT mode.

Axon Wireless Microphone Mounts
The Axon Fleet 2 wireless microphone is designed to work with the Axon RapidLock mounting system. The Axon RapidLock mounting system consists of the attachment piece, called the key, on the wireless microphone and the various mounting options including the attachment receiver, called the lock.
