Introduction

Warning

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

Note: 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 off 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 different from that to which the

receiver is connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

FCC/IC NOTICE:

This device meets the body worn human exposure limits found in OET Bulletin 65, 2001, and ANSI/IEEE C95.1, 1992. Proper operation of this radio according to the instructions found in this guide will result in exposure substantially below the FCC’s recommended limits. To comply with the FCC and ANSI C95.1 RF exposure limits, this device has been tested for compliance with FCC RF Exposure (SAR) limits in the typical configuration. It is recommended that the antenna must not be co‐located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or radio transmitter.

NOTE: The radiated output power of this wireless device is far below the FCC radio frequency exposure limits. Nevertheless, this device should be used in such a manner that the potential for human contact (i.e., touching the wireless unit) during normal operation is minimized.

NOTE: Unauthorized modifications could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

RSS 210 Warning Statement: The installer of this radio equipment must ensure that the

antenna is located or pointed such that it does not emit RF field in excess of Health Canada limits for the general population; consult Safety Code 6, obtainable from Heath Canada’s website www.hc‐sc.gc.ca/rpb.

THIS MODEL DEVICE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES:

TASER International Private & Confidential 3

AXON™ 4 Jan 2010

Your wireless device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radiofrequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission 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. The exposure standard for wireless devices employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions specified by the FCC with the device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the device while operating can be well below the maximum value. 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. The tests are performed in positions and locations (e.g., next to the body) as required by the FCC for each model. The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model device with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF emission guidelines. SAR information on this model device is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on FCC ID.

What is the AXON System?

The TASER AXON™ system is a tactical computer combined with an audio/visual recording device and a control box to be worn by a peace officer on duty. The AXON system is designed to document a shift’s events for later storage and analysis. The AXON system also allows you to replay recorded events and make audio comments. At the end of a shift, you can transfer the files containing the day’s events to the EVIDENCE.COM™ services site via the SYNAPSE™ Evidence Transfer Manager (ETM).

The AXON system has several operating modes designed to accommodate the needs of law enforcement. The standard mode is a continuous loop, which eliminates the need to go through hours of irrelevant footage. The other modes are designed to record important events and recognize the need for operator privacy. There also is a PLAYBACK mode for reviewing event footage. The system also has annotation features so you can make text and voice comments about recorded events.

This manual begins with the Hardware chapter, describing the physical components. Setup shows how create an EVIDENCE.COM account. The Assembly chapter covers connecting the components. Getting Started covers the ATC. The Basic Operations

chapter provides detailed instructions on using an AXON system to gather information.

The Standard AXON Operation subsection summarizes these operations as they might be

used during your shift.

There is more to the AXON product than recording videos and uploading them. You can and add notes—in text or voice form—to provide additional documentation. See the

Additional Features chapter for more information.
