Venting your AxisGO
‘Venting’ is a technique of expelling air from the AxisGO before closing the backplate. To ‘vent’ your AxisGO, apply pressure
to the rear membrane as you close the rear backplate and lock the side handle. Pushing onto the phone with 1 finger (fig 3.)
will remove a small amount of air, or using your whole palm will remove a greater amount of air. Each action will have
different pros and cons as sensitivity and water interference* will vary through the techniques. A unit that is not vented will
be slightly less sensitive when controlling the touchscreen and more resistant to water interference. A fully vented unit will be
much easier to control and navigate the touch screen, but will be more likely to receive water interference. Experimenting
with these techniques will allow you to see which technique suits you and your application best.
NOTE: It is recommended any screen protectors be removed before using the AxisGO. The screen protectors reduce touch
sensitivity through the rear membrane and can make controlling the phone difficult.
Using the AxisGO Underwater
Your iPhone uses a capacitive touch screen which will not function the same underwater as it will above. Functionality loss
will occur to the touchscreen when the AxisGO is used underwater. Before going underwater make sure that your camera
app is open. You can use the volume buttons to fire the camera, or start/stop video recording. When staying below the
surface for extended periods (ie: diving) follow the below tips:
Set the phones ‘Auto-Lock’ to never.
Settings>Display & Brightness>Auto Lock
Turn ‘Airplane Mode’ on.
Keep the camera app open before you submerge
Select your preferred capture method first
(ie: photo or video etc.)
All settings can be changed as soon as you resurface with your AxisGO.
iPhone Camera App
Your AxisGO allows full control over the iPhone camera App. When you have launched the app it is easy to swipe through
capture modes, swap between front and rear cameras, review pictures and use the shutter button. As well as the on screen
shutter button, photos can be captured by pressing either of the volume buttons. Holding the volume up button will also allow
you to shoot bursts of photos, great for fast action moments. The volume buttons can also be used to start/ stop video
recording.
Placing your phone in ‘Airplane Mode’ will prevent photo or video capture being interrupted by calls or notifications. To lock
focus and exposure of a subject, press and hold the touchscreen on the desired subject. You can also adjust the exposure
by sliding the sun image up or down. You can zoom the camera by pinching the screen to zoom in or out.
Touchscreen
The AxisGO rear membrane allows you full access to your iPhone 11’s touchscreen. Making capturing images and sharing
them a seamless experience, while protecting your iPhone’s delicate touchscreen. The new rear membrane material
provides a more responsive and intuitive experience while navigating your touchscreen.
Battery Life Tips
Leaving your phone in Airplane Mode will save battery life and stop any calls or notifications interfering with your video or
still photo capture.
Activate Low Power Mode to reduce the amount of background activity that uses battery power. Settings>Battery>Low
Power Mode
Using the camera app from the iPhone lock screen is the fastest way to return your camera to sleep when not needed.
Simply swipe left from the lock screen to open the camera app, then hit the home button when finished.
Keep the phone display brightness lower if full power is not needed. Settings>Display Brightness
Turn ‘Raise to Wake’ off if not needed. Settings>Display & Brightness>Raise to Wake
If using your phone above water only, set the ‘Auto-Lock’ to 1 minute. Settings>Display & Brightness>Auto Lock
