LED ring behavior

The LED ring provides visual feedback about Axon Outpost's operational and diagnostic states. These indicators may appear during start-up, pairing, status checks, and other system events.

Indicators – normal operation and diagnostics

Device State LED Ring Behavior
Powering On A small rectangle representing the LED color. Green pulsing in the corners
Boot Complete - Unregistered A small rectangle representing the LED color. Bottom-left RED (unregistered)
A small rectangle representing the LED color. Bottom-right BLUE (pulsing)
A small rectangle representing the LED color. A small rectangle representing the LED color. A small rectangle representing the LED color. Top = Battery Level (Red / Yellow / Green)
Boot Complete - Registered A small rectangle representing the LED color. Bottom-left GREEN (registered)
A small rectangle representing the LED color. A small rectangle representing the LED color. A small rectangle representing the LED color. Top = Battery Level (Red / Yellow / Green)
A small rectangle representing the LED color. A small rectangle representing the LED color. Left vertical = GREEN (connected) or RED (not connected)
A small rectangle representing the LED color. Right vertical = YELLOW pulse on plate read
Battery Level (SoC) A small rectangle representing the LED color. Red <25%
A small rectangle representing the LED color. Yellow 25–90%
A small rectangle representing the LED color. Green >90%
Pairing Mode (3s button press) A small rectangle representing the LED color. Blue (pulsing)
Pairing Successful A small rectangle representing the LED color. Blue (solid)
Diagnostics (short press) Shows registration, battery level, connectivity, and ALPR indicators
Normal Operation LED ring follows configured visibility settings
Powering Off A small rectangle representing the LED color. Red (pulsing)

These behaviors apply during normal operation when the device is not connected to the Axon Outpost Manager mobile app.

Indicators – mobile app only

These indicators appear only when Axon Outpost is paired with and actively communicating through the Axon Outpost Manager mobile app.

Mobile App Event LED Ring Behavior
Searching for device A small rectangle representing the LED color. Blue
Carrier / network activity A small rectangle representing the LED color. Magenta
Firmware update A small rectangle representing the LED color. White
Registration success A small rectangle representing the LED color. Rainbow sequence
App-initiated reboot A small rectangle representing the LED color. Red
Plate read A small rectangle representing the LED color. Yellow (brief pulse)

During normal operation, the LED ring remains off unless the Community Visibility setting is enabled in Axon Evidence. Configure this setting at the organization level or apply to individual devices depending on administrative policy.

Button behavior

The Axon Outpost button supports multiple press durations, each mapped to a specific user-facing function. These functions ensure clear intentional actions and prevent accidental activation. The camera is on if it is receiving power.

Press duration Action Notes
<500 ms No action Accidental activation while handling device
500 ms LED ring Display device status via LED ring for 10 seconds
3 seconds Enable pairing mode Hold to trigger pairing mode
6 seconds Power off Power device off
12 seconds Hard reset Force device reboot
