First steps
CHARGING THE BATTERY
Before using your ARCHOS for the first time, completely charge its battery. Connect the supplied power charger/adapter/ USB power adapter. Attention: Use ONLY the supplied ARCHOS charger/adapter/USB adapter on your device.
For the Flash Memory models: Use only the included USB cable to charge your device. Do not expect your device to charge properly when connected to your computer.
The ARCHOS will turn on and start charging. The battery icon will animate a blue “filling” action with a lightning bolt and the power/charge indicator light will remain solid. When not plugged into a power adapter, the battery icon will display the amount of battery power available.
IMPORTANT: When the battery is completely empty and you plug in your device,
-The charging indicator light will turn on then start to blink within few seconds. The indicator light blinking rapidly means that the device is charging but does not yet have enough power to start. This charging when off may take some time. Once the device has charged enough to start, it will switch on and display the ARCHOS boot logo.
-If the charging indicator does not blink after few seconds, it could mean that the battery is over discharged.
1.Plug out the power supply.
2.Press 10 seconds on the On/Off button for a hardware reset.
3.Plug in the tablet to the power supply.
After a certain period (few minutes or one hour), the charging indicator starts blinking.

Enabling WiFi |
|
Before launching an Internet application such as the web browser, see if you are connected to an WiFi access point. The icon |
in the right side of the system |
bar is blue when your device is connected to a WiFi network and grey when you are not connected. If not connected, you first need to activate the WiFi and configure a WiFi network.
From the system bar, you can access the WiFi settings quickly.
1.Touch the time in the system bar.
2.Touch the status icons. The status details is displayed below.
3.Touch WiFi to open the WiFi settings.
4.In the Settings screen, select Wireless & networks.
5.If the WiFi is off, tap on the WiFi line to turn it on. Then select WiFi settings. The ARCHOS will scan automatically for available WiFi networks and show all the wireless networks in range of your device. The list is refreshed continuously.
4. Tap on the network you want to connect to. Networks shown with the icon are secured connections.
A password is required for a secured connection. Enter the required network information* and then tap on Connect. Your ARCHOS will now attempt to establish a connection to that WiFi access point with the network parameters you entered.
* 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, or you will need to have a WiFi access point that uses the WiFi protection standard WPS (WiFi Protected Setup). Check with the Internet service provider to obtain the exact connection parameters required.
ADVANCED CONNECTION
To manually scan for available WiFi networks,
1.Go to the WiFi settings screen. 2.Tap on the Menu button in the upper right corner. 3.Tap on Scan. If the WiFi network you want to connect to does not appear in the list,
1.Scroll down the screen. 2.Tap on Add WiFi network. 3.Enter the required settings. 4.Tap on Save.
To access the advanced network parameters (Regulatory domain, IP address, etc), 1.Tap on the Menu button in the upper right corner. 2.Tap on Advanced.
Other parameters will appear: the required information can be obtained from the Internet service provider.
WiFi connection problems
The ARCHOS internet tablets support the 802.11 b, g, and n WiFi protocols. If you cannot connect to your access point, first determine if the problem lies with your access point or with the ARCHOS. Try using another WiFi device, such as a laptop computer or a WiFi enabled telephone and see if that will connect to your access point. If it does, then use the same WiFi connection settings that it has on your ARCHOS. You could also try connecting your ARCHOS to a friend's WiFi network and if this works, change your access point parameters to similar ones.
Possible solutions
1.Check your WiFi router/modem documentation to see if it has a pairing button that needs to be pressed. Some modems have such a button that must be pressed the very first time you try to make a WiFi connection with a new device.
2.If you have to enter a password (a security code of type WEP or WPA) be very careful that you do not confuse a 1 and I (one and letter “I”), a 0 and O (zero and letter “O”), or U and V. These are common mistakes.
3.When entering a security code for your WiFi access, check the box Show password which will allow you to see exactly what you are typing in. This will avoid any mistakes.
4.Some access points use what is known as MAC filtering. That means, the WiFi access point has a list of access numbers (every hardware device has a unique MAC number) which are the only ones allowed to access to the WiFi point. The person managing the WiFi modem/router should shut off this MAC filtering system to see if this solves the problem. It is recommended to shut off MAC filtering in general as this is now known to be an outdated and ineffective system for WiFi security. If you must use it, you can find your device's specific MAC address by going to Settings > Wireless & Networks > WiFi settings > Menu > Advanced. It will look something like 00:16:dc:5e:9e:39.
5.Try temporarily shutting off the encryption system of your WiFi router/modem to see if the problem has to do with the encryption system you are using. The preferred encryption system is the WPA2.
