First Time Usage

Please understand that this device has a CPU, hard drive, and

Operating System (OS) and thus it is more like a computer than

a CD player, cassette player, or radio. If you are not familiar

with using a computer, it would be particularly useful to read

through this detailed User Manual.

2.1 Plugging in the AC Adapter

Before using your Gmini 200 for the ﬁ rst time, completely charge the internal batteries.

• Use ONLY the included ARCHOS charger/adapter. The ARCHOS charger/

adapter has a special USB tip which you will plug into the USB port. Charging will

start automatically when it is plugged in.

• The batteries are fully charged when the full battery icon appears.

Empty battery: The battery

is uncharged. It must be

charged.

Animated battery: The

battery is currently being

charged.

Full battery: The battery is

completely charged and

the AC adapter can by

unplugged.

• After the ﬁ rst initial full charge, you may use the Gmini while the AC adapter is

plugged in.

2.2 Turning on the Gmini

• Hold down the POWER button until the screen comes on, then let off.

• If your Gmini is charging, click the PLAY button to turn it on.

• If the Gmini shows an empty battery icon or if the Gmini displays nothing at all,

you will have to plug in the Archos adapter/charger to make sure the batteries

get charged.
