WARNING!
BATTERIES
Failure to follow these safety instructions could result in fire, electric shock, damage, system mal
-
functions, death, or personal injury.
Damage to or improper handling of batteries could result in fire, electric shock, damage, system
malfunctions, loss of data, or personal injury.
To prevent potential injuries, leaking, overheating or explosion of batteries, take the following precau-
tions:
1.
Do not replace the batteries in the Axon Flex system, Axon Flex 2 system, Axon Body camera, or
Axon Fleet power unit.
The batteries in the Axon Flex system, Axon Flex 2 system, Axon Body cam-
era, and Axon Fleet power unit are not designed to be replaced. DO NOT attempt to replace these
batteries. The Axon Body 2 camera battery is replaceable only with a TASER-manufactured battery.
2.
Avoid extreme temperatures.
Do not expose the battery to excessive heat, cold, water, other liq-
uids, or corrosive substances. Do not use or leave the batteries for on-officer cameras near a heat
source or at a very high temperature (for example, fire, heater, in strong direct sunlight, or in a vehi
-
cle in extremely hot weather). Otherwise, the battery may overheat, cause a fire, or its performance
will be degenerated and its service life will be shortened. The battery in the Axon Fleet power unit
is designed to be installed in the passenger compartment of a vehicle. Do not install the Axon Fleet
power unit in the engine compartment, on the exterior of a vehicle, or in any location that will con-
tinually expose it to direct sunlight, water, other liquids, or corrosive substances.
3.
Avoid static electricity.
Keep the battery away from sources of static electricity. Static electricity can
cause damage to the battery, which could result in serious injury.

When recharging Axon equipment, use the Dock or TASER-approved power source
specifically for that purpose. Do not reverse the positive (+) and negative (−) terminals. Do not con

nect the battery to an electrical outlet without using a TASER-approved adapter. The Axon Fleet
power unit is designed to be recharged when the vehicle’s engine is running. Do not attempt to
recharge the Axon Fleet power unit by other means.
5.
Handling.
Ensure proper connections between the Axon equipment when charging or docking an
Axon component. To avoid risk of fire, burns, or damage to your battery pack, do not: allow a metal
object to touch the battery contacts; strike or throw the battery; directly solder the battery or pierce
the battery with a nail or other sharp object; disassemble, short circuit, or heat batteries; or put
batteries in a fire. Doing so may cause battery explosion, battery leakage, system damage, injury,
or fire.
