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 9 hours if you are recharging
your Axon Body 2 camera from 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
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.
Camera Internal Clock
Axon Body 2 cameras should be regularly placed in an Axon Dock or connected to Evidence Sync
to update the camera’s internal clock.
Camera Storage
Axon on-officer cameras should not be stored in environments where the temperature is likely to
exceed 95 °F (35 °C) (such as under direct sunlight, near heaters, or in a vehicle in extremely hot
weather) or exposed to temperatures below −4 °F (−20 °C).
