Preparing and Wearing the Flex 2 Camera System

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 controller both contain batteries.

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 the camera on the left side, adjust your settings through Evidence Sync software or the Evidence.com website to re-orient the camera.

The side on which you wear the camera is configured through Evidence Sync software. Try wearing the camera on your dominant and non-dominant side to determine what works best. If you have the Axon View application, you can view live video to ensure the camera is pointed correctly.

Cable connectors are inserted into the rear of the camera. Ensure proper connection.

Cable connection to camera

The controller has a Slide Lock that must be retracted before inserting the cable into the port. After inserting the cable, release the slide and ensure it closes properly.
