7.7Updating the AV300 Firmware Operating System (OS)

Archos periodically updates the Operating System (OS) and makes it available for free download on the ARCHOS web site (www.archos.com). Updates to the Operating System include new features, feature improvements, and bug fi xes. You should check to make sure that you are running the most recent version of the OS. Each time the AV300 starts up, the OS version is displayed on the screen (example: OS Version 1.1) on the bottom right. You will fi nd the most recent version of the OS and its version number at the Archos web site (www.archos.com) under the category Software.

Download the CJBM.AJZ fi le

When you click on the link to download the new OS fi le( the fi le name is CJBM.AJZ ), your browser may warn you that the contents of the download may harm your computer. This is because the Windows® system does not know what a .AJZ fi le is. Be assured that Archos has made every effort to ensure that the fi le does not contain viruses. Click on the option Save to download this fi le to a convenient place, such as My Documents, in order to later copy this fi le to your AV300. If your AV300 is connected to

your PC, you can even save it directly to the AV300.

Read the History.txt File

You will also fi nd next to the fi rmware download, a text fi le which details the list of changes from the previous version of the OS.

Copy to AV300 root and Update

When updating your Operating System, you must keep the AC charger/adapter plugged into the AV300 so that it will not shut down due to low batteries while you are performing the update. Connect your AV300 to your computer (see chapter 5), and then copy the CJBM.AJZ fi le to the root directory of the AV300. The root directory is the top most level of the directory hierarchy. Just drag this .AJZ fi le onto the AV300 Hard disk in your fi le manager and it will place it in the top most directory. If there is already an older version of the CJBM.AJZ fi le on your AV300, Windows® will ask if you want to overwrite the current fi le. Click on Yes. Once this fi le is copied, safely disconnect the AV300 from the computer (see chapter 5).

Next, go to the system parameters and then scroll down to Update Firmware and click on it. The AV300 will search for the .AJZ fi le and will ask you to click Yes, to start the update. Follow the on-screen

instructions. When completed, the AV300 will restart itself and you will see the new OS version displayed on the bottom right of the screen.
