2. MAKING A WIFI CONNECTION
2.1. Enabling WiFi
BeforelaunchinganInternetapplicationsuchasthewebbrowser,checktoseeifyoualreadyhavea
connection.TheiconinthetoprightofthescreenisonwhenyourdeviceisconnectedtoaWiFi
network.Ifnotconnected,youfirstneedtoactivatetheWiFiandconfigureaWiFinetwork.

controlwidgetfoundonthefarleft
homescreenallowsyoutoturnthe
WiFionandoff(WiFi,Bluetooth®*,
Tethering,Sync,Brightness)asneeded.ToconfigureaWiFiconnection,youneedtobeinaWiFi
zonethatwillallowyoutoconnecttoit.EverytimetheARCHOSisinrangeofanetworkthatyou
havealreadyconfiguredonce,itwillattempttomakeaconnection(solongastheWiFisettingis
enabled).

4.Taponthenetworkyouwanttoconnectto.Networksshownwiththeiconaresecured

willnowattempttoestablishaconnectiontothatWiFiaccesspointwiththenetworkparameters
youentered.


*ForfreeaccessWiFipoints,thereisnoneedtoenteranyspecialinformation.Forsecured
networks,youwillneedeitherakey(aseriesofnumbersand/orletters)ofthetypeWEP,WPA,or
WPA2,oryouwillneedtohaveaWiFiaccesspointthatusestheWiFiprotectionstandardWPS
(WiFiProtectedSetup).CheckwiththepersonwhomanagestheWiFinetworktoobtaintheexact
connectionparametersrequired.

.Otherparameterswillappear:therequiredinformationcanbeobtainedfromtheperson
whomanagesthenetwork.
2.2. Possible WiFi connection problems
TheARCHOSinternettabletssupportthe802.11b,g,andnWiFiprotocols.Ifyoucannotconnectto
youraccesspoint,firstdetermineiftheproblemlieswithyouraccesspointorwiththeARCHOS.Try
usinganotherWiFidevice,suchasalaptopcomputeroraWi‐Fienabledtelephoneandseeifthat
willconnecttoyouraccesspoint.Ifitdoes,thenusethesameWiFiconnectionsettingsthatithas
onyourARCHOS.YoucouldalsotryconnectingyourARCHOStoafriend'sWiFinetworkandifthis
works,changeyouraccesspointparameterstosimilarones.
POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS
1.CheckyourWiFirouter/modemdocumentationtoseeifithasapairingbuttonthatneedstobe
pressed.Somemodemshavesuchabuttonthatmustbepressedtheveryfirsttimeyoutrytomake
aWiFiconnectionwithanewdevice.
2.Ifyouhavetoenterapassword(asecuritycodeoftypeWEPorWPA)beverycarefulthatyoudo
notconfusea1andI(oneandletter“I”),a0andO(zeroandletter“O”),orUandV.Theseare
commonmistakes.
3.WhenenteringasecuritycodeforyourWiFiaccess,checktheboxShowpasswordwhichwill
allowyoutoseeexactlywhatyouaretypingin.Thiswillavoidanymistakes.
4.SomeaccesspointsusewhatisknownasMACfiltering.Thatmeans,theWiFiaccesspointhasa
listofaccessnumbers(everyhardwaredevicehasauniqueMACnumber)whicharetheonlyones
allowedtoaccesstotheWiFipoint.ThepersonmanagingtheWiFimodem/routershouldshutoff
thisMACfilteringsystemtoseeifthissolvestheproblem.ItisrecommendedtoshutoffMAC

filteringingeneralasthisisnowknowntobeanoutdatedandineffectivesystemforWiFisecurity.If
youmustuseit,youcanfindyourdevice'sspecificMACaddressbygoingto
S
ettings>Wireless&
Networks>Wi‐Fisettings>Menu>Advanced.Itwilllooksomethinglike00:16:dc:5e:9e:39.
5.TrytemporarilyshuttingofftheencryptionsystemofyourWiFirouter/modemtoseeifthe
problemhastodowiththeencryptionsystemyouareusing.Thepreferredencryptionsystemisthe
WPA2.
3. CONNECTING TO A COMPUTER (TO TRANSFER
FILES)
WhenyouwanttotransferfilestoorfromtheARCHOS(photos,documents,music,video,or
applications(.apkfiles))youcantransferthemviatheUSBcableorviaawirelessnetwork
connection.Itisalsopossibletotransferfilesdirectlyto/fromacamera,USBstick,poweredhard
drive,oranMP3playerusingtheUSBhostport.UsetheapplicationFileswhentransferringfilesby
awirelessnetworkorwhentransferringfilesto/fromadevicethatisconnecteddirectlytothe
ARCHOSwithaUSBcable.
3.1. Connecting the ARCHOS to a computer
ConnectthesuppliedUSBcabletotheARCHOS.
1.PlugtheUSBendofthecableintoyourcomputer.
2.TheARCHOSwillturnonandaskyouifyouwanttoconnectit(Mount)ornot.ChoosetoMount
it.
3.Ifyouchoosenottomountit,youcanalwaysdragthetopnotificationbardownwardstoreveal
theUSBnotificationmessageandchoosetoconnect.
4.TheARCHOSwillappearinyourcomputer'sfilebrowserasanexternalharddrive,ARCHOS(E:)
forexample.
3.2. Transferring files to/from the ARCHOS
TherearetwomainmethodstotransferyourfilestotheARCHOS:
COPY & PASTE
UseWindows®Explorer(theFinderonMac,ortheLinuxfilebrowser)tocopyandpasteyourfiles
betweenyourARCHOSandyourcomputer.Whenfinishedcopyingormovingfiles,makesureyou
disconnectproperly.DonotjustunplugtheUSBcable.

WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER
TheSynchronizebuttoninWindowsMedia®Playerisaoneway"sync"button.Itwilladdvideo,
musicandphotofilestoyourARCHOS.Itwillgiveyouthepossibilitytohavethesamedigitalmedia
onyourARCHOSasyouhaveinyourWindowsMedia®Playermedialibrary.
1.Onyourcomputer,startWindowsMedia®Player11(orhigher).
2.SelecttheSynctab.
3.Choosethemediafilesyouwanttotransfer. Dragthefilesoralbumsyouwanttotransferintothe
rightpanel.
4.ClickontheStartSyncbutton.
Theselectedvideos,songsorphotoswillbecopieddirectlyintothecorrespondingVideo,Musicor
PicturesfolderoftheARCHOS.Whenfinishedcopyingormovingfiles,makesureyoudisconnect
