Before using your Archos™ 104 for the rst time, completely charge the battery for two hours.

• The Archos™ 104 is charged through its USB connector. Connect the included USB cable to a running
computer and plug the other end into the Archos™ 104 while it is off. This will charge its internal battery. The
CHG indicator will also light up to show that its battery is charging.
• The battery is fully charged when the CHG indicator starts blinking.

lights up to indicate that the external adapter is connected. The battery will charge automatically when it is
plugged in.
• After the rst initial full charge, you may use the Archos™ 104 while the AC adapter is plugged in.
