Introduction
The Axon Fleet 2 wireless microphone works with the Axon Fleet 2 camera system to provide audio for
Axon Fleet 2 front camera videos. The wireless microphone is not a stand-alone recording device. The
wireless microphone will pick up audio and transmit the audio, using a Radio Frequency (RF) link, to the
Junction Box installed in the Axon Fleet 2 vehicle. The Junction box pairs the wireless microphone with the
front camera and passes the audio from the microphone to the camera where it is included in the video
file.
Before first use, the wireless microphone must be paired to the vehicle’s junction box. On subsequent
uses, the wireless microphone will automatically connect to the junction box when both are powered on.
When the wireless microphone is connected, the front camera on-board microphone records audio from
the wireless microphone instead of the on-board microphone. Conversely, the on-board front camera
microphone sources the audio if there is no wireless microphone connected.
The video recordings will indicate whether audio was sourced from the local front camera microphone or
the wireless microphone. If a video recording was started and audio source changed during the recording,
the audio source will also be indicated each time it changes.
The RF link from the wireless microphone to the junction box has a maximum unobstructed range of 1000
ft, but this will vary depending operating environment. If the RF link is lost (for example, if an officer
moves out of range or goes into an enclosed metal trailer), the buffering/recording of audio automatically
reverts to the Axon Fleet 2 front camera microphone. Once the wireless microphone RF link is re-
established, the audio will return to being sourced from the wireless microphone. The wireless
microphone will mute audio if the RF link becomes too weak to transmit audio data. Muting occurs when
there is not a complete loss of RF link. When the RF link is completely lost, the front camera microphone is
selected.
When multiple wireless microphones are in operation:
• The junction box can be paired to multiple wireless microphones, but only one wireless
microphone can be connected to the junction box and streaming audio at a time.
• The wireless microphone can only be paired to one junction box at a time.
• Once paired, if microphone 1 is turned off and microphone 2 is turned on, microphone 2 will
automatically connect.
