the batteries. The Gmini 400 is made with integrated batteries which are designed to last for the life of the Gmini 400. This means that you will not have to change them. If, in the exceptional case, the batteries need changing, this should only be done by an Archos technician.

2.7Caring for the Gmini 400
The Archos Gmini 400 is an electronic product that needs to be treated with more care than typical consumer electronic products.
•Do not subject it to shock.
•Do not subject it to heat. Keep it ventilated (especially when connected to a computer).
•Keep the Gmini 400 away from water and excessively humid areas.
•Keep the Gmini 400 away from high electromagnetic fields.
•Keep any connected cords to the Gmini 400 neatly arranged. This light product could fall if a cord is accidentally pulled by a child.
•Do not open up the Gmini 400. There are no user serviceable parts inside. Opening will void your warranty.
2.8Hardware Reset
In the event that your Gmini 400 freezes operation (due to electrostatic phenomena for example), you can actuate a hardware reset by holding down on the STOP/ESC button for 10 seconds. In normal operation, the STOP/ESC button will shut down the Gmini 400 after being held down for 3 seconds.
