Getting Started
Charging
Charge your device by plugging your power cable into the micro-USB port.
The ARCHOS device will turn on and start charging. 
The charging indicator light is on when the battery is charging. 
It will blink when the battery is charged. 
You can use your ARCHOS whilst it charges. 
IMPORTANT: When the battery is completely empty and you plug in your device, the charging 
indicator light will turn on then start to blink. 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.
TIPS:
To receive more complete service, please register your product. From your tablet, touch the Apps

Connectivity to a WiFi Network
WARNING:  Make sure that you are in a WiFi zone. You can access the WiFi 
settings quickly from the status bar in the bottom right corner of the screen.
1. Touch the time in the status bar. The status dashboard is displayed.
2. Touch the time a second time in the status dashboard. The quick settings will be 
displayed.
3. Touch WiFi to open the WiFi settings menu.
4. If the WiFi is off, slide the WiFi switch to the ON position. Once the WiFi is on, the 
ARCHOS will scan for WiFi networks in range.
5. Touch the name of network you want to connect to.
Private  networks  are  shown  with  a  lock  icon  and  will  require  you  to  enter  your 
password.
TIPS:
- When entering a WiFi password, we recommend that you select “Show password” so you can 
see the characters you are typing.
- To get the correct WiFi password (or settings) for the network, contact the WiFi network provider.
- If your WiFi is on and you are in range of a network that you previously connected to, your 
ARCHOS will automatically attempt to connect to it.
