6.1 BROWSING THE WEB
In order to browse the web, you will need the Web Browser plug-in, avail-
able at www.archos.com. With this Internet browser, specially designed
for your ARCHOS, you will have the possibility to browse websites*, use
web-based e-mailing, download content, etc.
*supports Flash™ content and Javascript. Java virtual machine not supported.
LAUNCHING THE WEB BROWSER
From the Home screen, select the “Web” icon.
If you are already connected to a network, the Web browser will simply open and
you can start browsing the Web.
If WiFi is not enabled or if you are not connected to a network, the device will
scan for available networks and connect to a known network or display the list of
available networks so that you can connect to one of them.
Please note: not all wireless networks offer access to the Internet. Some WiFi net-
works only link several computers together, without any Internet connection.
If the time and date are not correctly set, you might not be able to access cer-
tain web pages (See: “Clock” settings). If you choose to set the clock automat-
ically when the ARCHOS connects to a WiFi network, you will need to select
your Country and City/Zone (see: “Language (and Region)” Settings).
USING THE WEB BROWSER
You can use the Web browser to read your Web-based e-mail, view Web sites, and
download documents from the Internet.
The menu overlay will disappear after a few seconds.
