“Free Storage Space”
displays the amount of free space on the hard drive.
Note: reported number of gigabytes is binary-based counting (1KB=1024
bytes). Thus each reported Gb represents approximately 1.07 gigabytes (deci-
mal). Formatting also takes up space.
“USB preference” (for advanced users)
Your preferred connection mode will be used every time you connect the
ARCHOS to a computer. The connection mode determines how your device inter-
acts with your computer:
Mode 1: “Windows Media Device”: Recommended for users of
Windows Media®
Player (WMP) version 10 or higher
. When set to this mode, the ARCHOS uses the
Media Transfer Protocol (MTP). It allows you to charge your ARCHOS and transfer
les onto it at the same time.
Your ARCHOS will be locked only when it is opened
in Windows® Explorer.
You will be able to synchronize your media library auto-
matically every time you connect your ARCHOS to your computer. When your
le transfer is nished, simply unplug the cable from the ARCHOS, and your de-
vice will update the ARCLibrary (Music/Photo libraries).
Mode 2: “PC Hard Drive”: Recommended for users of Windows® XP with Windows
Media® Player 9, Windows® 2000, Me, Mac® OS X or Linux. The ARCHOS will ask
you if you want to charge it or connect it as a mass storage device (Hard Drive).
Choose to connect it as a mass storage device (external hard drive). When con-
nected to your computer, your ARCHOS will be locked. Disconnection: when the le
transfer is over, safely unmount the ARCHOS (See:
Disconnecting
) and your device
will do a quick ARCLibrary update (Music/Photo libraries). May not index all les.
Mode 3: “PC Hard Drive (auto-ARCLib)”: Same as mode 2, but with a full
ARCLibrary update (Music/Photo libraries) at disconnection.
