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 to 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 automatically.
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.
