green CHARGE indicator lights up to indicate that the external adapter is
connected. The batteries will charge automatically when the AC adapter/
charger is plugged in. Once the batteries are fully charged, this light
will blink, indicating that you can disconnect the charger/adapter. Once
charged, you can get up to 10 hours* of MP3 music playback time and
up to 3 hours* of AVI video playback time (on the built-in screen) from
the batteries. The Gmini™ 402 is made with integrated batteries which are
designed to last for the life of the Gmini™ 402. 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™ 402
The ARCHOS™ Gmini™ 402 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™ 402 away from water and excessively humid areas.
• Keep the Gmini™ 402 away from high electromagnetic fi elds.
• Keep any connected cords to the Gmini™ 402 neatly arranged. This
light product could fall if a cord is accidentally pulled by a child.
• Do not open up the Gmini™ 402. There are no user serviceable parts
inside. Opening will void your warranty.
2.8 Hardware Reset
In the event that your Gmini™ 402 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™ 402 after being held down
for 3 seconds.
