Action icon select and execute buttons Increase / Decrease Volume Mute sound Displays Action icon descriptions, if activated (Setup > Display) 9 10 2 2.1 INTRO ­ First Time Usage Plugging in the AC Adapter · Use only the included ARCHOSTM charger/adapter. · You can charge the internal battery of the AV 700 TV by plugging the included adapter/charger directly into the device, or you can charge it by plugging the adapter/charger into the optional TV Docking Pod and connecting your AV 700 TV to the optional TV Docking Pod. · Before using for the first time, charge the batteries completely. The charge indicator (CHG) light just below the navigation pad will start to blink when the battery is charged. 2.2 Turning on the AV 700 TV · Hold the PLAY/ON button for 3 seconds. The green "On" indicator light will turn on. Be patient, it will take a few seconds for the operating system to boot up. · If the unit shuts off after holding the ON button for several seconds, plug in the ARCHOSTM adapter/charger to make sure the batteries get charged. 2.3 Shutting off the AV 700 TV and Battery saving features To shut off the unit, press and hold the STOP/ESC/OFF button for 3 seconds. In the Power menu [Display setup screen Power: Battery Operation] there is a Power Off parameter. It is factory set to 6 minutes. Thus, if your AV 700 TV is idle for 6 minutes, it will shut itself off. This setting can be changed from one to nine minutes or to never. In the Power menu [Display setup screen Power: Battery Operation] there is a Backlight Off parameter to save battery power (the lighting of the screen consumes a lot of the battery power). It is factory set to 60 seconds. That is, if the AV 700 TV is not being used, the screen will shut off in order to save battery life. To turn the screen back on, just click once on any button. See the section Power in the Settings chapter for a complete explanation. 10 11 2.4 Changing the Interface Language The AV 700 TV interface can be set to English (default), French, Spanish, German, or Russian. · Using the UP action button, highlight the Settings icon (showing a wrench) and then click the center SELECT action button. · Highlight the Display icon and click the PLAY/ENTER button. · Highlight the Language parameter using the UP/DOWN buttons. · Click the RIGHT or LEFT button to choose the desired language. · The language displayed will change immediately. · Click on the STOP/ESC button to return to the Setup page and again to return to the main menu screen. 2.5 Foreign Character Sets You have the possibility to display your file names, folder names, and music tags in various character sets (ex: Korean, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, etc.). You can find the language files CodePage_name.4FZ in the font folder under /Data/Asian Fonts on the AV 700 TV hard drive or on the ARCHOSTM website under the heading Software. If, for example, you would like to have the Korean language display, then you would copy the file CP949.4FZ into the folder /system on the AV 700 TV and shut down and restart the AV 700 TV. File names, folder names, and music tags written using the Microsoft® codepage for the language will now be displayed in that character set. Only one .4FZ can be used at a time, thus you should only put one .4FZ file into the /system folder. When an .4FZ language file is used, the interface language will be set to English. 2.6 Caring for the AV 700 TV The ARCHOSTM Video AV 700 TV is an electronic product that needs to be treated with more care than typical consumer electronic products. · Do not subject it to shock. · Do not subject it to heat. Keep it ventilated by keeping it on its feet with the fold-out stand (especially when connected to a computer). · Keep the AV 700 TV away from water and excessively humid areas. 11 12 · Keep the AV 700 TV away from high electromagnetic fields. · Keep any connected cords to the AV 700 TV neatly arranged. This light product could fall if a cord is accidentally pulled by a child. · Do not open up the AV 700 TV. There are no user serviceable parts inside. Opening will void your warranty. 2.7 Hardware Reset In the event that your AV 700 TV freezes operation (due to electrostatic phenomena for example), you can actuate a hardware reset by holding down on the STOP/ESC button for 15 seconds. In normal operation, the STOP/ESC button will shut down the AV 700 TV after being held down for 3 seconds. 12 13 3 3.1 TV ­ Watching Digital TV Tuning Digital TV on the AV 700 TV Before you can use your AV 70 ...
