2.7Caring for the AV300

The Archos Video AV300 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. Be careful that the surface it is on, is a flat clear surface. Placing the AV300 on a pillow, blanket, or carpet may restrict the necessary ventilation that it needs. This increase in operating temperature may cause damage to the device.

Keep the AV300 away from water and excessively humid areas.

Keep the AV300 away from high electromagnetic fields.

Keep any connected cords to the AV300 neatly arranged. This light product could fall if a cord is accidentally pulled by a child.

2.8Hardware Reset

In the case that your AV300 freezes operation (due to electrostatic phenomena for example), you can actuate a hardware reset by holding down on the STOP/ESC button

Ófor 15 seconds. In normal operation, the STOP/ESC button Ó will shut down the AV300 after being held down for 3 seconds.
