An introductory note from ARCHOS

Dear Customer,

Archos thanks you for choosing our new ultra-small Gmini™ XS100. Check out our web site

www.archos.com

to fi nd the available accessories for this product (car adapter, carrying cases, etc.). Also, while at our web site,
check for free downloads of updated and improved software for your device.

The principal function of the Gmini™ is, of course, to play music. Because it has a real hard disk inside of it,
you can store hundreds of songs. Using a standard audio cable, you can also play your music through a home
entertainment system. You can bring your entire CD collection with you anywhere and play it over anyone’s
sound system.

Putting music onto your Gmini™ is as easy as ‘drag and drop’ for your unprotected music fi les. And for protected
purchased music from PlaysForSure web sites, it is as easy as clicking the Sync button in Windows Media

®

Player. Plus, with its USB 2 high speed port, transfers are fi nished before you know it. The Gmini™ is also ID3
compatible. This means that the ARCLibrary will sort your music so that you can listen to it by artist, album, title,
year, or genre. Click on Shuffl e, and listen to your music at random.

Finally, you can always use the Gmini™ as a portable hard drive to carry your important fi les with you. You can
even use the Archos double-browser to rename, create, copy, move, and delete fi les and folders.

This manual gives you all the information you need to know on using your Gmini™. Read though it carefully, you
just may fi nd out it can do some neat things that you didn’t expect. If you are stuck, you can always call our help
line or e-mail support to get a friendly Archos agent to give you a hand.

Wishing you the best music listening experience,

The Archos Team
