(Menu icon > Settings > Repair and Formatting). Then use the Touch screen calibration button, and
follow the instructions on the screen. If this does not work or if you cannot access the touch-screen
settings, you can force the touch-screen calibration (see: System Recovery).
20.3. System recovery
If your ARCHOS does not respond correctly or does not start properly, you can try to remedy this
situation with a system recovery. Be very careful with this as there are options to erase all the data on your
device.
20.3.1. TO ENTER INTO THE RECOVERY SCREEN
- Turn off the device and wait 10 seconds.
- Press and hold the volume + button while powering on the device.
- Keep the volume + pressed until the Recovery mode starts (white screen).
- To move from one option to another, use the volume buttons. To select an option, press the ON/OFF
button.
20.3.2. RECOVERY MODE OPTIONS
No: Cancels the system recovery.
Update firmware: Allows you to connect your device to a computer in order to copy the latest .AOS file
(operating system) to your device and then install it.
Repair System: Attempts to repair the file structure on the internal memory. This does not erase any data.
No: Return to main recovery screen.
Force Touchscreen Calibration: Select this and then select no to leave the recovery screen. Upon
restarting, the ARCHOS will immediately start the touch-screen calibration utility.
Check Disk: Check and repair the system partition if damaged.
Start USB MSC: Allows you to connect your device to a PC to access the internal memory.
Format System: Formats the internal memory. All data (music, photos, videos, etc.), applications and
settings are erased.
21. ACCESSORIES AND PLUG-INS
21.1. USB Host cable
This cable will allow your ARCHOS to have a full-sized USB Host port.
That is, you can connect a camera, a USB stick, a USB memory card
reader, a mouse, a keyboard, a combination mouse/keyboard, or a
powered hard drive to your ARCHOS*. By using this cable, your ARCHOS can download all the photos
from your camera directly, without having to transfer the photos to your computer first. See the ARCHOS
on-line store to purchase this micro USB-B to USB-A host cable.
* Some standard USB devices may not function if they consume too much power.
21.2. Cinema Plug-in
The out-of-box video playback capability of the ARCHOS is about the best on the market. However, it
does not come with MPEG-2 video playback capabilities. You can purchase a software plug-in from the
ARCHOS on-line store which will allow your ARCHOS to play these files. This allows your device to
play VOB, TS, PS video streams as well as AC3 audio.
