Chapter 3: Hardware Details
This chapter describes preparing and wearing the Flex 2 camera system. For additional informa-
tion on using the universal mount and other mounts, see the instructional videos for assembling
Axon Flex 2 hardware at www.axon.com.
If the camera system causes discomfort or headaches, adjust the system for comfort. NEVER
wrap cables around the neck.
The Axon Flex 2 system uses magnets in many of its mounting systems. The Axon Flex 2 camera
and Axon Flex 2 controller both contain batteries.
Before using an Axon Flex 2 system, ensure it is fully charged, and connect it to Evidence.com
via the Axon Dock or Evidence Sync software to ensure it is properly configured. See
Battery
LED
(Chapter 2) and
Charging the Battery
(Chapter 7) for more information.
Preparing the Axon Flex 2 Camera
All Axon Flex 2 cameras shipped from the factory are configured to be installed on the right side
of the body. If you wish to wear a camera on the left side, you will have to adjust your settings
through the Evidence Sync software or on the Evidence.com website to re-orient the camera.
The side on which you wear the camera is configured through the Evidence Sync software. Try
wearing your camera on your dominant side and your non-dominant side to find what works best
for you. If you have the Axon View application, you can view live video and determine if the cam-
era is pointed where you want it. See the
Axon View for Android Devices
or
Axon View for iOS
Devices
manuals for more information on how to do this.
Cable connectors are inserted into the rear of the Axon Flex 2 camera. If you do not connect the
cable to the camera properly, the connection may not be secure.
