WARNING!
POTENTIALLY EXPLOSIVE ENVIRONMENTS
Potentially explosive environments.
Electric sparks in a potentially explosive area could cause an
explosion or fire, resulting in serious injury or even death. Areas with a potentially explosive atmo
-
sphere are often, but not always, marked clearly. Potential areas may include: fueling areas (such
as gas stations); below deck on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities; vehicles using
liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane); areas where the air contains chemicals or
particles (such as grain, dust, or metal powders); and any other area where you would normally be
advised to turn off your vehicle engine. Axon Flex, Axon Flex 2, Axon Body, Axon Body 2, and Axon
Fleet cameras contain wireless transmission technology that transfers radio frequencies over the
air as a form of energy transfer. Wireless transmission has been deemed a risk factor in igniting an
explosive environment. In situations where the Axon camera operator needs to enter a potentially
explosive environment, TASER recommends that the user err on the side of caution and power off
the camera before entering the explosive environment. An Axon camera should be treated the same
as a cellular telephone would be treated in this situation.

WARNING!
NEODYMIUM RARE EARTH MAGNETS
Failure to follow these safety instructions could result in fire, electric shock, damage, system mal
-
functions, death, or personal injury.
Neodymium Magnets.
The Axon magnet mount contains a neodymium magnet which emits strong
magnetic fields that can affect a pacemaker, ICD (implantable defibrillator), VNS (vagal nerve stim
-
ulator), and other implanted electrical medical devices. Many of these devices are made with a fea-
ture that deactivates it when in contact with a strong magnetic field. Therefore, care must be taken
to avoid inadvertently deactivating such devices when in close proximity to the Axon magnet mount.
Persons with a pacemaker, ICD, VNS, or other implanted electrical medical device should not
wear the Axon magnet mount.

WARNING!
AXON DOCK USE
Failure to follow these safety instructions could result in fire, electric shock, damage, system mal
-
functions, death, or personal injury.
Electrical Warnings.
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using any
Dock, follow basic precautions, including the following:
•
Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet and do not remove the ground prong.
• Verify the outlet is installed according to applicable local electrical codes.
• Do not use an adapter or an extension cord.
• Disconnect power and verify power disconnect before servicing.
•
Keep away water, other liquids, corrosive substances, and flammable materials and vapors, such
as gasoline. Keep away from sources of static electricity. Static electricity can cause damage to the
Dock or cause it to malfunction.
•
In the event of electrostatic discharge or intermittent power fluctuation, power will need to be
cycled to the unit to regain full functionality.

CAUTION!
MAINTENANCE
Maintenance.
Failure to properly maintain the Dock may cause the system to malfunction or not
operate optimally.
To reduce the risk of malfunction, including failure or loss of data:

Anchoring and Installation.
Docks should be securely placed on a flat surface; when anchoring (for
example, to the wall or other hard and stable surface) be sure to use appropriate hardware. The
