1.2. First steps
1.2.1. CHARGING THE BATTERY
Before using your ARCHOS for the first time, completely charge its battery. Connect the supplied USB cable to
the ARCHOS and to a running computer or a USB power adapter (available in most
electronics stores). The ARCHOS will turn on and start charging. It will ask if you want to
"mount" the device or "Charge only." Select "Charge only." The battery icon in the upper
right corner of the screen will animate a green “filling” action and the power/charge
indicator light next to the USB connector will remain solid. Once the device is completely
charged, the indicator light will start blinking. When not plugged into a computer or
power adapter, the icon will display the percentage of battery power available.
1.2.2. THE STARTUP WIZARD
The first time you turn on the ARCHOS, the installation wizard will help you configure the main functions of your
ARCHOS: language, country, time, etc.
You can rerun the Startup Wizard anytime you want by going to Settings > Repair & formatting > Startup
wizard.
