About ARCHOS 28, 32, 35, 43, 70, 101 internet
tablets
What to check first
Make sure your WiFi Internet connection is working...
Some of your applications will not work
if you do not have a WiFi connection to
the Internet.
Check the user manual...
There is a wealth of useful information
in the full user manual. It is very well
written, and there are surely things in
there that you didn't know before.
There is an icon on the home screen to
access it.
Make sure you have the latest firmware...
This is one of the most important things
you should do. Firmware updates are
important to install because they add
new functionality, improve functionality,
and/or fix bugs. If you can connect by
WiFi to the Internet, then go to Menu >
Settings > About Device > Firmware
update to see if a newer one is
proposed. If you do not have a WiFi
connection to the Internet, you can
update your device by downloading the
latest firmware to your computer and
transferring it to your ARCHOS using the
USB cable. See the ‘How to install a

firmware’ on the download page of the
‘Support’ section.
Make sure your battery is completely charged...
Make sure that your battery is
completely charged by connecting it to
its power adapter (ARCHOS 70, 101) or
to your computer (ARCHOS 28, 32, 43)
(or by using a USB style wall charger)
for 8 hours or until the green charging
indicator light blinks. If using a USB wall
charger, make sure it is rated 5 volts 1A
(1000 mA).
WiFi
I have problems making a WiFi connection. What can I do?
First, update your ARCHOS to the latest
firmware version. Then try connecting
again after it is updated.
- Check the functioning of your Wifi
router/modem by using another Wifi
device (ex: friend’s laptop) to verify that
your router/modem is functioning
properly.
- 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.
- Make sure that you are relatively close
to the modem/router to make your first
connection. Then later you can test to
see how far away you can make a
connection.
- Try connecting to a friend's WiFi
access point to see if reacts the same
way. If it connects, then you know that
you'll have to set your WiFi
router/modem with similar parameters.
- Turn off the Wifi then turn it back on
again. Go to Menu > Settings >

Wireless controls and uncheck Wi-Fi.
Wait until the small text below “Wifi”
says “Turn on Wi-Fi” and then check it.
Your WiFi access point should show up
as an item below this.
-If you have to enter a password (an
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.
- 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.
Android User Interface and applications
What does Aldiko eBook reader offer in terms of range and pricing of
books?
There are currently many classics as
well as modern books in various
languages available for free download.
These are free public domain works.
There are also hundreds of fiction, non-
fiction, technical, and other books for
purchase. Install other ebook
applications for more content.
Can I download apps from the Android Market? How?
No. However if .apk files are available
on the Internet from the maker of one
of the applications found on the Android
Market, then there is no reason you
could not download it from their site
and use it (so long as it does not require
a piece of hardware that the ARCHOS
does not have. Ex : compass,
telephone, GPS).
What e-books can I view on the ARCHOS?
Non-protected books published in the
eBook or ePub format are readable on
the ARCHOS with the free Aldiko™
application. You can also find dedicated
apps for ebooks such as one for Kindle
from Amazon. Page 3 / 14

What magazines / newspapers will users be able to read on their
devices?
You can download the application
“World Newspapers” or “Daily paper”
for free from AppsLib which will allow
you to read dozens of different
newpapers from around the world. You
will also find that a number of
newspapers have dedicated apps to
access their web site.
Will the Archos connect to popular photo sharing sites like Flickr?
Currently the included Photo Frame
application connects and shows pictures
from accounts (or keywords) from
Flickr™, Picassa™, and Facebook.
Can I read ‘office’ type documents on these devices eg: Word, Excel,
PowerPoint, PDF files?
The three larger internet tablets come
with a trial office suit application (30
days) already installed to read the
above mentioned files. There are also
other PDF reader applications freely
available on AppsLib.
What happens if I download a paid app and then delete it by mistake –
How do I get it back?
AppsLib keeps track of which programs
you purchased and will let you reload
them at anytime.
Will users be able to synchronise with business email and contacts via
company Microsoft Exchange servers?
Yes, this is supported in Android 2.1.
Exchange servers with certificates will
be supported in the upcoming Android
2.2 “Froyo” release.
How do I pay for the purchasable Apps?
ARCHOS has chosen to partner with
PayPal, the most popular on-line
payment system available. Getting a
PayPal account is free.
How do I download Apps from AppsLib?
Simply tap on the AppsLib icon on the
home screen and you will be connected
to the store where all the free and

Archives
purchasable applications are located.
Can users download books from other online stores directly to their
ARCHOS and read them using Aldiko?
If the format is the open standard .epub
format, it will work by dropping it into
the “Import” folder of the Aldiko
application. Many Google™ Books
(books.google.com) are also available in
the .epub format.
Are there other eBook Reader options?
Yes, there are also the apps WattPad
and AVcomics. The apps for Amazon
and Barns & Nobels book stores should
be available soon on AppsLib.
What do I do if an app gets stuck or functions incorrectly?
Your application may need to be
updated. Go to the AppsLib and tap on
the menu icon and then MyApps. It will
show you which of your apps have
updates that can be downloaded. If
updating your application does not help
the problem, you could try uninstalling
the application (use the Uninstall app
found in the applications tab) and then
reinstall it from AppsLib.
Can users download games from outside of the Appslib store to play on
their device ex: Flash™-based games?
The internet tablets currently do not
play .swf format files (Flash™-based
games). When version 2.2 of Android™
becomes available for the ARCHOS
internet tablets, this will allow you to
play on-line Flash™ games.
Internet
Why can’t I view web sites that have Flash™ video or Flash™ games?
When the update to Android™ Froyo
(version 2.2) is available, you can
update your ARCHOS device to this
version of Android™ and it will have the
Flash™ 10.1 player included which will
allow you to play Flash™ video content
and Flash™ games on the web.

Using the internet is swift when
tethering with a 3G phone. Depending
on your telecom’s access speed, using
the Internet via your 3G phone will be
no different than using it via a WiFi
connection.
Can the devices connect to 3G dongles via USB?
Not for the moment. However, you can
connect your phone for tethering via
the USB host port (optional USB host
cable required).
Will the ARCHOS internet tablets tether with 3G capable phones (USB or
Bluetooth®) to allow web access via my 3G phone?
Yes. Almost all 3G Bluetooth® phones
these days use the standard
Bluetooth™ profiles DUN or PAN. The
ARCHOS 28 model however, cannot
tether via Bluetooth® but only by USB.
Note that some telephones which have
3G and Bluetooth® (such as some
Blackberry devices) specifically do not
allow tethering. You can, of course,
tether the A28 to a phone that has WiFi
routing capabilities such as some
Android phones.
How do I tether the ARCHOS to my phone in order to get Internet
outside of WiFi areas?
After an initial setup of pairing your
phone to your ARCHOS, each time you
want to use the Internet, you just go to
the power control widget and turn on
Tethering. The ARCHOS will connect to
your phone (you might have to tap a
button on your phone to say “Yes” allow
the ARCHOS to connect) and use it as a
modem to connect to the Internet. See
the full user manual for exact step-by-
step instructions.
General
What version of Android™ is on the devices?
The ARCHOS devices were released
with version 2.1 known as “Eclair”. The
devices are updatable to the next
Android release version 2.2 known as
“Froyo”. Page 6 / 14

Why are the devices not Google certified?
Google requires devices to have a
specific hardware profile in order to be
certified. This includes having GPS,
compass, telephone, and specific
screen resolutions. Considering the
number of Android devices entering the
market, the great majority are not
certified. Google could of course change
their requirements.
How do the devices charge?
The A28, A32 and A43 charge via the
USB connector. The A70 and A101
charge via the included power
charger/adapter.
Why do I have to update my firmware?
Updates bring increased performance,
new features, and bug fixes. It is best to
update your device when it gives you
the possibility to do so. Make sure you
have the latest update so that you can
get all the benefits that each update
brings.
Why does my ARCHOS internet tablet only have Android 2.1 on it? How
can I get Android 2.2 onto it?
The ARCHOS update software will be
available in Q4 of 2010. When it is
available, you will be notified when you
connect your device to the Internet by
WiFi. At this point, follow the screen
instructions to download and install it
onto your device.
What is Android™?
It is the most popular open software
platform for portable devices. Games
and applications of all different types
are now available and new exciting
ones are yet to come due to its open
architecture.
What is different between this year’s and last year’s models?
This year there is a faster processor
inside the device and there are more
choices of screen size and resolutions.
Some devices have a tablet format
which include webcams. This year’s

devices run version 2.1 of Android and
will be updatable to version 2.2 when
that version becomes available. The
screens are very reactive and the larger
A70 and A101 models have capacitive
multi-touch screens.
What makes Android™ attractive?
Android has the development muscle of
Google. Android™ is open source. This
means hundreds of hardware
manufacturers can implement Android
without cost, which will drive this to
become the dominant mobile platform.
It is completely opened to software
developers without a central censoring
authority. The competing Apple library
of mobile applications is censored by a
group of employees that decide what
they think is appropriate and what is
not.
What Gen 7 accessories are compatible with the new internet tablets?
There are no accessories common to
the ARCHOS 5 internet tablet and the
new line of internet tablets (ARCHOS
28, ARCHOS 32, ARCHOS 43, ARCHOS
70, ARCHOS 101).
What is the battery life when WiFi is activated?
When the WiFi is activated, on a full
charge, you can surf the web for 6
hours (A28), 8 hours (A32), 12 hours
(A43), 10 hours (A70 and A101).
Can these devices connect to my television?
Yes, you can connect them to your TV.
You can see and do all the same things
you do on your device (videos, music,
internet, games). The ARCHOS 32 has a
composite video output (yellow RCA
cable) and the ARCHOS 43, 70, and 101
have an HDMI video output port
(optional standard mini-HDMI cable
required) which can output crystal clear
high definition images to your HD TV.
The ARCHOS 28 does not have video
output.
