8.11 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 rware:
directly on your ARCHOS if it as connected to a Wi 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 to con-
nect your ARCHOS to a Wi network. See Connecting to a Wi Network .
Once your ARCHOS is connected to a Wi network, go to the Home screen,
select the “Settings” menu item, and choose “System”.
Use the “Search for online updates” button.
The ARCHOS will search on-line for a new rmware. If there is one available, it
will start downloading, and it will be installed automatically.
UPDATE USING A COMPUTER (INTERNET CONNECTION NEEDED)
If you cannot connect your ARCHOS to a Wi network, you can also update the rm-
ware using a computer connected to the internet:
On your PC, go to www.archos.com/rmware.
Search for the rmwares available for your ARCHOS.
Compare the lastest on-line version with the one installed on your ARCHOS: your
ARCHOS’ rwmare version number appears in the “Firmware and Plugings” set-
tings screen (see Firmware and Plugings Settings ).
If the on-line version is more recent than yours, follow the instructions to down-
load and install it.
Your Internet browser may warn you that the contents of the rmware le may harm
your computer. Ignore this message.
