Hi I have just receieved my Archos Clipper 2GB, could you please tell me the best way to charge the battery?

if you click the reset button then get rid of all the songs and then dounload them back on (i had this problem so that is how i know

Start by downloading the manual from the manufacturer's web site at
http://www.archos.com/support/download/manuals/Clipper_EN_FR_DE.pdf

MP3 players can only play music files in mp3 file format.
You need to convert your CDs to mp3 music files onto your computer or download them from the Internet and then copy them to your MP3 player using the supplied USB cable when you connect the MP3 player to the computer.

Hi,
To swich this on and off you have to hold down the "Play" button for about 7 seconds. It's fully charged when the red LED light is solid and not flashing. :-)

I have the same problem when I try and copy tunes from my Mac. If you go into the archos file you can see them but cannot play them. How did you solve it?

Charge Time 2 Hours

Hi I would think the best place to start is with ARCHOS,
give them the lowdown and see what they come up with.
You could use the Archos forum and look through the help files

just attached the usb cable to mp3 player and put in2 computer to charge for couple of hrs

Hi
This is the best solution i found so far...
i have an Archos 5....i went to : TOOLS - SETTINGS - CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE - REPAIR and FORMATTING TOOLS - REPAIR SYSTEM - clear temporary system files and cache..! (At the repair system page, you will get all options like "Reset Settings;Format harddrive;Full reinitialization etc...So u can choose what suits you best, n ALAS! Your achos will be back to normal....
Cheerz..

Hi,

A couple of things you can try:

1. hard reset the 704 using the button under the battery right hand side;
2. reformat the unit (but that would of course delete contents).

Just curious, did you try/did a firmware update recently? Additionally, the manual has some details on troubleshooting as well as Archos online support.

Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.

Good luck and kind regards.

Thank you for using FixYa.
