Please take the time to read though this manual. There are many
things that this device can do that you may not be aware of.
2.1 Plugging in the AC Adapter
• Use only the included ARCHOS charger/adapter.
•
Before using for the first time, charge the batteries completely.
• You may use the Archos Gmini 400 while its battery is charging, but it
will then take longer before the battery is completely charged.
2.2 Turning on the Gmini 400
•
Hold the PLAY/ON button
►
for 4 seconds. The green “On”
indicator light will turn on. Be patient, it will take a few seconds for the
operating system to boot up.
•
If the unit shuts off after holding the ON button for several seconds, plug
in the Archos adapter/charger to make sure the batteries get charged.
2.3 Shutting off the Gmini 400 and Battery saving features
To shut off the unit, press and hold the STOP/ESC/OFF button for 3 seconds.
In the Power menu [Setup
Power: Battery Operation]
there is a Power Off parameter. It is factory set to 2
minutes. Thus, if your Gmini 400 is idle for 2 minutes, it
will shut off. This setting can be changed from one to nine
minutes or to ‘never’.
In the Power menu [Setup
Power: Battery Operation]
there is a Backlight Off parameter to save battery power
(the lighting of the screen consumes a lot of the battery
power). It is factory set to 30 seconds. That is, if there are
no buttons pressed, the screen will shut off in order to save battery life.
To turn the screen back on, just click once on any button. See section 14.5
for a complete explanation.

2.4 Changing the Language
The Gmini 400 interface can be set to English (default), French, German
or Spanish.
• To change the language, move the cursor to Setup and then
click PLAY/ENTER ►.
•
Then move with the joystick to Display and click PLAY/ENTER
►
.
• Highlight the Language parameter.
• Use the Right or Left button to choose the desired language.
• Choose French, German, Spanish or English.
• The language displayed will change immediately.
• Click on the STOP/ESC button to exit this screen.
2.5 Foreign Character Sets
You have the possibility to display your file names, folder names, and
MP3 ID3 tags in various character sets (ex: Korean, Japanese, Simplified
Chinese, etc.). You can find the language files CodePage_name.4FZ
in the font folder under /Data on the Gmini 400 hard disk or on the
Archos website under the heading Software. If, for example, you would
like to have the Korean language display, then you would copy the file
CP949.4FZ into the folder /system on the Gmini 400 and shut down and
restart the Gmini 400. File names, folder names, and ID3 tags written
using the Microsoft® codepage for the language will now be displayed in
that character set. Only one .4FZ can be used at a time, thus you should
only put one .4FZ file into the /system folder. When an .4FZ language file
is used, the interface language will be set to English.
2.6 Charging the Batteries
Use ONLY an Archos charger/adapter that is specified for the Gmini
400. Other chargers or adapters may damage the Gmini 400. The green
CHARGE indicator lights up to indicate that the external adapter is
connected. The batteries will charge automatically when the AC adapter/
charger is plugged in. Once the batteries are fully charged, this light
will blink, indicating that you can disconnect the charger/adapter. Once
charged, you can get up to 10 hours* of MP3 music playback time and
up to 5 hours* of AVI video playback time (on the built-in screen) from
10
the batteries. The Gmini 400 is made with integrated batteries which are
designed to last for the life of the Gmini 400. This means that you will
not have to change them. If, in the exceptional case, the batteries need
changing, this should only be done by an Archos technician.
* depending on how you use it (start/stop/writing, etc.)
2.7 Caring for the Gmini 400
The Archos Gmini 400 is an electronic product that needs to be treated
with more care than typical consumer electronic products.
• Do not subject it to shock.
• Do not subject it to heat. Keep it ventilated (especially when connected
to a computer).
• Keep the Gmini 400 away from water and excessively humid areas.
• Keep the Gmini 400 away from high electromagnetic fields.
• Keep any connected cords to the Gmini 400 neatly arranged. This light
product could fall if a cord is accidentally pulled by a child.
• Do not open up the Gmini 400. There are no user serviceable parts
inside. Opening will void your warranty.
2.8 Hardware Reset
In the event that your Gmini 400 freezes operation (due to electrostatic
phenomena for example), you can actuate a hardware reset by holding
down on the STOP/ESC button for 10 seconds. In normal operation, the
STOP/ESC button will shut down the Gmini 400 after being held down for
3 seconds.
