You can change from one tab to another by clicking on the tab itself with the stylus (the PMA430’s screen is touch sensitive), clicking the Home button , or by selecting it from the Qtopia™ menu, on the bottom left of the screen (see image on the right hand side). Pocket AV Tab From this tab, you can launch the music playing and recording applications, the video playing and recording applications, the photo viewing application, the file management application, and a resume playing application. Productivity Applications Tab 9 10
From this tab, you can launch applications such as E-mail, an Internet browser, a calendar, agenda, contacts, and others. Games A number of games have been included with your device. Further, there is a Mophun® game engine found in the games tab. This is a special game playing platform. You can check the ARCHOS website for a list of available games to purchase. Settings This tab gives you access to the parameters which control the operation of your PMA430. They include the clock and calendar, the interface language, a security password, and your network parameters which allow you for example to use the built-in Wifi capabilities to connect to a network and access the Internet. Documents This tab corresponds to the Documents folder which is the top level of the file hierarchy system and where you will keep all your working documents. It displays all of your files that are located in the Documents folder and its subfolders. On the bottom left, you can choose to show “All Documents” (that is, all files) or select a certain file type (for example images or text files only). Pease note that keeping a large amount of files in this folder can slow down the PMA430 or result in messages such as “Memory Low” or “Memory Critical”, so you might want to consider creating a folder (e.g. named “Data”) in the root directory of the PMA 430 to store the files you do not access frequently. 1.4 The Touch Screen and Text Input The PMA430 is equipped with a tactile screen. You can lightly press on it with your finger or use the included stylus in order to launch an application or to interact with a program. There are three methods to enter text or numbers into your PMA430 when an application calls for textual information. If you need to enter text, click on the text entry button (1) and then choose your text entry method (2). (2) (1) Method: Handwriting Recognition You write your characters on the screen itself. You have to write your letters in a particular way in order for the PMA430 to identify them correctly. The training tutorial (circled question mark on the right of the input screen) will demonstrate to you how this is to be done, and will give you the opportunity to train yourself. Method: Keyboard A standard keyboard is displayed and you simply tap on the keys. Method: Telephone Enter text as if you are using a telephone number pad. Click once for the first letter, twice for the second letter and so on. 1.5 Linux®, Qtopia™ and the PMA430 File System Your PMA430 runs on the Linux® operating system. This version of Linux® however does not include all of the libraries needed to run, on say, a desktop computer. It is a lean version. Qtopia™ is the graphic layer on Linux® that allows for a comfortable graphic user interface instead of the traditional Linux® command line input. The hard drive of your PMA430 is partitioned as FAT32, a file system used also on Windows® based computers. A small part of it is set aside as a storage space for additional applications. These two spaces are called Media Storage and Program Storage respectively. The Media Storage, is where all of your music, videos, photos, and any miscellaneous data files will be stored. When you connect your PMA430 to your computer via the USB cable, it will appear as an external hard drive. Thus, you can very easily move files between your PC and your PMA430 by opening the PMA430 in Windows® Explorer and dragging and dropping files. 11 12
The Program storage area (64MB fixed size) is where new Linux® programs that you install onto your PMA430. Because Linux® applications need to run in a Linux® formatted space, the installation packages (file type .ipk) must be installed into the Program Storage area. You will notice that when your device is mounted onto a PC as an external hard drive (or mass storage device), there is a 64MB file in the System folder called progfs.img. This stands for program file space and is actually a simulated Linux® partition for your application programs. You should therefore not delete this file/partition. In case that you need to do an entire system recovery procedure, you should backup the progfs.img file to save all of your installed programs. After completing the recovery procedure, you can then recover your programs by replacing this file. 1.6 Updating the Operating System ARCHOS periodically updates the Operating System (OS) and makes available a free download on the ARCHOS website (www.archos.com). Updates to the Operating System include new features, feature improvements, and bug fixes. You should check to make sure that you are running the most recent version of the OS. You can find information on the current version you are running under Applications > System Info > Version. The most recent version available can be dowloaded at www.archos.com under the heading Download > Software. Step 1 Download the file aimage.img Download the image file AIMAGE.IMG , which will probably be quite large – approximately 22 MB. (Note that over a telephone modem, downloading a file of this size will take at least an hour and a half and possibly several hours.) When you click on the link to download the new OS file, your browser may warn you that the contents of the download may harm your computer. This is because the Windows® system does not know what an .IMG file is. Be assured that ARCHOS has made every effort to ensure that the file does not contain viruses. Click on the Save button to download this file to a convenient place, such as My Documents, in order to later copy this file to your PMA430. If your PMA430 is connected to your PC, you can even save it directly to the System folder in your PMA430. ATTENTION Macintosh® Users Macintosh® users should be especially careful when they download and save this file to their Macintosh® computer. Do not double-click on it. Macs use .img files for a different purpose and if you double click on this saved .img, it will try to open it. Instead, simply copy it from your Macintosh to your PMA430’s System folder. Just drag and drop. Step 2. Read the History.txt File On the ARCHOS website, you will also find next to the OS download, a text file which details the list of changes from the previous version of the OS. Step 3. Copy the aimage.img file to the PMA430 System Folder Connect your PMA430 to your computer and then copy the AIMAGE.IMG file to the System folder of the PMA430. Since there will be an older version of this file on your PMA430 already, your computer will ask if you want to overwrite the current file. Click on Yes. Once this file is copied, safely disconnect the PMA430 from the computer. Attention: The aimage.img must always remain in the System folder of the PMA430. Even once you have updated your PMA430, you must not remove that file. Step 4 Reset the PMA430 and set the time and date In order for the new software update to take effect, you need to reset the PMA430. Disconnect it from the computer and go to Settings > Shutdown. Press the red “Reboot” button. The PMA430 will turn off. Turn it back on now and it will boot up the new operating system. You should check to verify that the clock time and date are correct after a reset. 13 14
1.7 Changing the Language 2 Connecting/Disconnecting the PMA430 to/from your PC The PMA430 interface can be set to English (default), French, German, Italian, or Spanish. To change the language, go to Settings then Language and select your desired language. Click OK and wait a few moments. Your PMA430 will now use the new language. 1.8 Caring for the PMA430 The ARCHOS Video PMA430 is an electronic product that needs to be treated with great care. • Do not subject it to shock. • Do not subject it to heat. Keep it ventilated (especially when connected to a computer). • Keep the PMA430 away from water and excessively humid areas. • Keep the PMA430 away from high electromagnetic fields. • Keep any connected cords to the PMA430 neatly arranged. This light product could fall if a cable is accidentally pulled. • Do not open up the PMA430. There are no user serviceable parts inside. Opening will void your warranty. 1.9 Hardware Reset In the event that your PMA430 freezes operation (due to electrostatic phenomena for example), you can actuate a hardware (cold) reset by placing a narrow object such as a paper clip into the reset hole and pressing on the recessed reset button. Note that when the PMA430 is connected to a computer, it will consume more energy, that is to say, the battery will discharge faster than usual. If the PMA430 looses power while connected to your computer you could damage your directory structure and/or loose data. Thus, you should always use the AC adapter when connected to your computer. Be also careful to understand the disconnection procedure since disconnecting incorrectly can lead to data loss or cause the computer/PMA430 to freeze. The PMA430 is not compatible with Windows® NT, Windows® 95, or Windows® 98. While connected as a hard disk to your computer, the PMA430 buttons are blocked and are no longer functional. 2.1 Connecting the PMA430 1) Use the power adapter to prevent the PMA430 from shutting off due to low power. (This could cause damage to the contents of the hard disk if not done.) 2) Plug the USB cable into your running computer. 3) Turn on the PMA430 – wait until it completely boots up. 4) Plug the other end of cable into your now running PMA430. Windows® ME, 2000, XP (Home/professional) When connected, the PMA430 will be recognized as a Mass Storage Class (MSC) Device and display automatically within a few seconds of being connected. You will see a new drive letter, such as E: in My Computer called PMA400. You can now use the hard disk called PMA400 like any other hard disk. Simply access it using Windows® Explorer to drag and drop files to and from the PMA430’s hard drive. If it is not automatically recognized, please refer to the troubleshooting section at the back of this manual. 15 16
