8.9 UPDATING THE FIRMWARE
The rmware is the operating system (OS) of your ARCHOS. It is periodically updated
to bring new features, improvements and bug xes. There are two main ways to up-
date your product’s rmware:
Directly on your ARCHOS if your device can connect to a WiFi network.
With a computer connected to the internet

UPDATE DIRECTLY ON THE ARCHOS
(
WIFI CONNECTION NEEDED
)
This is the easiest way to update the rmware. For this to work, you only need an ac-
cess a WiFi network. See Connecting to a WiFi Network .
From to the Home screen, select the “Settings” menu item, and choose
“Firmware and Plug-ins”.
Use the “Online Firmware Update” button.
The ARCHOS will connect to the WiFi and search on-line for a new rmware. If
there is one available, it will start downloading, and it will be installed automati-
cally.
UPDATE USING A COMPUTER
(
INTERNET CONNECTION NEEDED
)
If you do not have access to a WiFi network, or if your ARCHOS is not WiFi-enabled,
you can also update the rmware using a computer connected to the internet:
On your PC, go to www.archos.com/rmware.
Search for the latest rmware available for your ARCHOS.
Compare the latest on-line version with the one installed on your ARCHOS: your
ARCHOS’ rmware version number appears in the “Firmware and Plug-ins” set-
tings screen (see: “Firmware and Plug-ins” Settings ).
If the on-line version is more recent than yours, follow the instructions to down-
load and install the new rmware.
Your Internet browser may warn you that the contents of the rmware le
could harm your computer. ARCHOS has taken precautions to insure that this
le will not harm your computer.
