Chapter 7: Care and Maintenance
Cleaning the Axon Flex 2 Camera
Use a soft, damp cloth to clean the surface of the Axon Flex 2 camera. Do not use harsh cleaners
or solvents.
Do not immerse the Axon Flex 2 camera in water or cleaning solutions.
If the Axon Flex 2 camera lens becomes dirty, use a lens blower brush to clean it and then wipe it
with a soft cloth if necessary.
• Do not use alcohol or alcohol-based liquids with the Axon Flex 2 system.
• Do not use ammonia-based or similar type window cleaners on the camera lens.
• Do not place the lens under running water or apply jets of water to the camera lens.
Charging the Battery
A fully charged controller battery should provide enough power for approximately 12 hours of
normal operation. Recharging a battery after a 12-hour use can take up to 6 hours if you are
recharging your Axon Flex 2 controller from a wall outlet or Axon Dock. Recharging could take
considerably longer if you are recharging from a computer.
If the battery depletes significantly during use, you will hear 4 quick tones repeating every 5
minutes. This message indicates that less than approximately 20 percent of the battery capacity
remains.
Always recharge a depleted battery as soon as reasonably possible. You can use an Axon Dock,
wall charger, or computer to charge the battery. Using a non-Axon approved wall charger may
degrade device performance and will void the warranty.
If the Axon Flex 2 controller is to be stored for a long time, the Battery LED should be yellow when
you put the controller in storage. After an Axon Flex 2 controller has been stored 6 months, the
controller should be run until the battery is depleted and then the battery should be recharged.
After an Axon Flex 2 controller has been stored more than 1 year, recharge the controller before
using it.
Replacing the Battery
Replacement batteries are not available with the Axon Flex 2 system. However, new controllers
are sold separately.
