- Axon Device Manager (ADM) installed on an appropriate device - If you already have ADM installed, ensure you have v3.0.3 (Android) or v2.0.3 (iOS) or higher.
Note: You must have device management permissions to use ADM. If you aren’t sure if you have permissions to use ADM, contact an Axon Evidence administrator for your agency to check on your permissions.
