Axon Flex 2 Quick Start Guide
English
Recording
The Axon Flex 2 system has 2 operating modes. The default mode, or
BUFFERING mode, provides pre-event buffering to capture activities that
occur before you activate the EVENT (recording) mode.
1
Turn the system on. Move the ON/OFF switch to the ON position.
•
The camera takes a few seconds to boot up and be ready to record
(the red area under the switch will be exposed with the switch moved
to the ON position).
•
The operation LED will be solid red and then transition to blinking
green when the system goes into BUFFERING mode.
•
The system will go into BUFFERING mode after the boot up sequence.
With default settings, the BUFFERING mode holds the previous
30 seconds of video (NO AUDIO) leading up to the beginning of a
recording.

To record, quickly double-press the EVENT button.
•
The system now records audio as well as video.
•
The system will beep twice to let you know that recording started.
The 2 beeps will repeat every 2 minutes (if the system is muted, there
will be no audio notifications).
•
The operation LED will blink red.
3
To stop recording and return to BUFFERING mode, press and hold the
EVENT button for at least 3 seconds until there is a long, audible beep.
Because the system does not capture audio in BUFFERING mode, the
first 30 seconds of a recorded event will be video-only (depending
on your agency’s settings). BUFFERING mode starts only after the
camera boots up. The system does not record when the Axon Flex 2
controller is turned off.
