2.5 Caring 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 ﬂ at 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 ﬁ elds.

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

your computer.
