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.

2.7 Caring 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.
2.8 Hardware 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.
