STARTING UP

►

See the full user manual to learn how to fully configure your ARCHOS device.

Charging the Battery

Before using your ARCHOS for the first time, completely charge the battery:

Connect the supplied USB cable to the ARCHOS and to the supplied USB power adapter.

Plug the USB power adapter into an outlet. The ARCHOS device will turn on and start charging.

The charging indicator light is on when the battery is charging. It will blink when the battery is charged.

IMPORTANT: Only charge your device with the USB power adapter.

Startup Wizard

The first time you start up your ARCHOS, the installation wizard will bring you through a few screens to help you set up the principal

settings: Language, country, time, etc.

Transferring files to your ARCHOS

Connect the supplied USB cable to the ARCHOS and to a running computer. The ARCHOS will turn on and ask you if you want to

connect it. Tap on Mount to connect it. Within a few seconds the ARCHOS will appear as an icon on your computer.

You can transfer your media files to the ARCHOS either by copy/pasting them into the respective folders using Windows®

Explorer (or the Finder on a Mac®), or by using Windows Media® Player (Sync tab).

Once all your file transfers are finished, close Windows® Explorer and any other program that may have read or written to the

ARCHOS. Click on the ‘safely remove’ icon in the system tray, next to the clock. You can now unplug the USB cable.

CONNECTING TO A WIFI NETWORK

To configure a new WiFi network, go on the Home screen, tap on the Settings icon.

In the Settings screen, select Wireless & networks.

If the WiFi is off, tap on the Wi-Fi line to turn it on. Then select Wi-Fi settings. The ARCHOS will

scan for available WiFi networks and display them at the bottom of the screen.

Tap on the network you want to connect to. Then tap inside the Wireless password field to

make the virtual keyboard appear. We recommend that you select Show password, to be able

to see the characters you are typing.

Enter the required network information*, tap on Done, and then tap on Connect.

Your ARCHOS will now establish a connection to that WiFi access point.

For this procedure to work, you need to be in a WiFi zone that will allow you to connect to it. Every time the ARCHOS is in range of

a network that you have already configured once, it will attempt to make a connection.

* For free access WiFi points, there is no need to enter any special information. For secured networks, you will need either a key (a series of

numbers and/or letters) of the type WEP, WPA, or WPA2. Check with the Internet service provider to obtain the exact connection parameters.
