INTRO - First Time Usage

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
• Before using for the fi rst time, charge the batteries completely.
• You may use the ARCHOS
but it will then take longer before the battery is completely charged.
2.2
Turning on the Gmini
• 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
To shut off the unit, press and hold the STOP/ESC/OFF button for 3 seconds.
In the Power menu [Setup
there is a Power Off parameter. It is factory set to 2 minutes.
Thus, if your Gmini 402 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
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 the Power
section 1 in the Settings chapter for a complete explanation.

Foreign Character Sets

You have the possibility to display your fi le names, folder names, and
MP3 ID3 tags in various character sets (ex: Korean, Japanese, Simplifi ed
Chinese, etc.). You can fi nd the language fi les CodePage_name.4FZ
in the font folder under /Data on the Gmini
ARCHOS website under the heading Software. If, for example, you would
™
like to have the Korean language display, then you would copy the fi le
CP949.4FZ into the folder /system on the Gmini
restart the Gmini 402. 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 fi le into the /system folder. When an .4FZ language fi le
is used, the interface language will be set to English.
