43 12.3 'Hard Drive' or 'Windows Device'? If your ARCHOS 105 is seen as a hard drive, then you simply need to drag the firmware_a105.AOS file onto this icon, and Windows® will place the file into the top most directory (root) of the ARCHOS 105. It should not be placed inside any folder within your ARCHOS 105. Once this file is copied, safely disconnect (refer to the chapter on Connecting/Disconnecting) the ARCHOS 105 from the computer. If your ARCHOS 105 is seen as a Windows® Device, then you will have to open the ARCHOS 105 Device in Windows® Explorer and drop the firmware_a105.AOS into the ARCHOS 105. If there is already an older version of the firmware_a105.AOS file on your ARCHOS 105, Windows® will ask if you want to overwrite the current file. Click on Yes. Disconnect the ARCHOS 105 from your computer. 12.4 Activate the Update On your ARCHOS 105, go to Setup > System and select the [Update Firmware] line. Click ENTER. You will be prompted to power the ARCHOS 105 with the USB cable connected to a turned-on computer. The ARCHOS 105 will now locate the update file and install it. A message will appear asking you to unplug the USB cable and then click on any button to restart the device. You can go to Setup > System to verify that the new OS has been installed by looking at the version number there. Warning! Never unplug the USB cable while the update is in progress. This can cause permanent damage to the unit. 43 44 13 Technical Specifications ARCHOS 105 Capacity Display Video Playback Music Playback Photo Viewer* Interfaces Audio Connections Battery life** Scalability Power Source Package includes See packaging. 1.8'' OLED color screen, 160 x 128, 262 000 colors.
