•If left idle, the screen’s blue backlight will shut off after 20 seconds in order to save battery power. After 30 seconds, the screen display will shut off, also to save energy. Finally, the Gmini will shut itself off completely after 3 minutes if left idle and no music is playing. You can change these settings under [Setup 

Power].

2.5Caring for the Gmini

The Gmini is an electronic product that needs to be treated with care.

•Do not subject it to shock. You may however go jogging with it or do sports.

•Do not subject it to heat. Keep it ventilated. Be careful that the surface it is on, is a flat clear surface. Placing the Gmini on a pillow, blanket, carpet, or wrapped up to protect it will restrict the necessary ventilation that it needs. This increase in operating temperature may cause damage to the device.

•Keep the Gmini away from water and excessively humid areas.

•Keep the Gmini away from high electromagnetic fields.

•Keep it plugged into the Archos AC adapter/charger when it is connected to your computer.
