Do not use ammonia-based or similar type window cleaners on the camera lens or camera
display.
Do not place the lens under running water or apply jets of water to the camera lens.
Do not use compressed air to clean the camera. Compressed may damage the camera’s
microphones.
Ensure the Axon Body 3 microphone openings are clean and clear of any debris.
Charge the battery
The Axon Body 3 camera battery is charged by placing the camera in an Axon Body 3 Dock or
by connecting a USB-C cable to the camera and then to a power adapter or, for USB-C to
USB-A cables, to a computer USB port.
IMPORTANT Ensure the USB port is dry and free of dirt and debris before placing the
camera in a Dock or connecting a USB-C cable.
A fully charged camera battery should provide enough power for approximately 12 hours of
normal operation. Recharging a battery after a 12-hour use can take up to five hours if you are
recharging your Axon Body 3 camera from Axon Body 3 Dock.
The Axon Body 3 Dock only functions as an Ethernet adapter, an unmanaged network switch,
and charger. This allows your Axon Body 3 camera to be docked in any Axon Body 3 Dock,
and still connect to your agency’s Axon Evidence account to upload video.
If the battery depletes significantly during use, the camera display will show LOW BATTERY
and the camera emits four quick tones and four short vibrations. This message indicates that
approximately 10 percent of the battery capacity remains and is repeated at 5% battery
capacity.
Recharge a depleted battery as soon as reasonably possible.
Charging a camera while powered off
Note Your Axon Body 3 camera must have Operating System (OS) v1.7 or later to charge
the camera while powered off. Prior to Axon Body 3 camera Operating System (OS)
1.7, an Axon Body 3 camera that was powered off would automatically power on when
connected to a USB-C cable to charge.
The Axon Body 3 camera can be charged by using a USB-C cable while the camera is off. This
allows users to charge the Axon Body 3 camera battery when an Axon Body 3 Dock is not
available. However, Axon recommends that you regularly place you Axon Body 3 camera in
an Axon Body 3 Dock to ensure that the camera has the correct time synchronization and
latest firmware updates.
If needed, you can request a USB A to USB C cable directly from Axon. Contact your Axon
Representative or Axon Support for assistance.
1. While your Axon Body 3 camera is powered off, connect the camera to a USB-C cable.
2. Connect the cable to a power adapter or, for a USB-C to USB-A cable, to a USB port.
