2.1 Charging the Battery

Before using your Gmini XS100 for the rst time, completely charge the battery for two hours.

• The Gmini™ XS100 is charged through its USB connector. Connect the included USB cable to a running
computer and plug the other end into the Gmini™ 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 full battery icon appears.

• You can purchase an Archos charger/adapter to charge the battery from a wall outlet. The blue CHG indicator
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 Gmini while the AC adapter is plugged in.
