In a nutshell, the ARCHOS 5 internet tablet will truly transform the way you use your TV. WiFi Connectivity With your ARCHOS, you want to connect to the Internet wherever you are.

You’ll appreciate the easy on-time WiFi setup, even at new WiFi hot spots. The ARCHOS 5 Internet Tablet scans the available networks faster, connects faster, and maintains connections to the network even in weak signal conditions thanks to the latest WiFi-N technology.

3G Connectivity via Bluetooth™ If you want to connect to the Internet truly anywhere, the built-in Bluetooth™ capabilities of the ARCHOS will allow you to pair up with most all 3G Bluetooth™ enabled telephones thus allowing you to use your phone and its data plan for fast access1. The ARCHOS 5 Internet Tablet supports the standard Bluetooth™ profiles DUN (Dial-up Networking) and PAN (Personal Area Network) and automatically detects the profile of the phone selected.

There’s no need to pay an extra fee when you already have a data service plan. Tethering (Using your portable phone as a modem) The term “3G tethering” is the idea of using your portable telephone’s data service as a way to connect to the Internet for your laptop, or in this case, your ARCHOS 5 Internet tablet.

The first thing you have to do is introduce your ARCHOS to your phone. Kind of like, “Hello telephone, I’m an ARCHOS, nice to meet you.

” Then the phone says, “Hi ARCHOS, nice to know you.” They do this over a wireless Bluetooth™ connection.

Once the telephone is properly introduced to the ARCHOS, they are considered ‘Paired’. This means that now when you want to connect to the Internet, your ARCHOS can say, “Hey phone, connect me to the Internet”, and good old Phone will make a connection.

Pairing On your phone, turn on Bluetooth ‘detectable. On the ARCHOS, select Menu > settings > Wireless controls > Bluetooth settings > Bluetooth and turn it on.

Still on the ARCHOS, select Scan for devices, then select your telephone which will be shown under “Bluetooth devices”. Give a connection code, “1234” will be fine.

On your phone, you will now see that the ARCHOS is requesting to be paired. Type in the same code “1234”.

Your phone and ARCHOS now know each other. They are ‘paired Note: once paired, the small message under the name of your phone will say “paired but not connected”.

This is OK. This message will stay like this, even once you have connected to the Internet.

Tethering (connecting to the Internet) Now that your ARCHOS and phone can talk to each other, it is just a matter of telling the ARCHOS (only once of course) what the name of your phone’s data service is called. On the ARCHOS, go to Menu > Settings > Wireless Controls > Cell phone tethering > Carrier access point name (APN) and type in the access point name (APN) that is used for your telecom operator.

You can usually find the APN name in the documentation with your data plan, on the FAQ of your telecom’s web site, or you could of course call their customer service and ask. Each telecom company has different APNs and can even have different APNs for different data plans.

In the same tethering section, select Phone connection and make sure Bluetooth is selected. In the section “Phone ID”, select your phone.

Your telecom operator may have given you a username and password (some telecoms do NOT require one) to access the network (this is not a personalized username and password, but a general one). If given such, tap on Username/password and enter them.

Now, anytime that you want to connect to the Internet, you can either go into Menu > Settings > Wireless Controls > Cell phone tethering and turn on the option Tether, or easier yet, tap on the Bluetooth icon (1) and then the Tether icon (2) of the Power Control widget (if you have already set up this widget on your home screen). The status of your tethered connection will be shown as an icon in the status bar next to the clock.

Note: There is an option Wake lock, in Settings > Wireless Controls > Cell phone tethering which will tell the ARCHOS to NOT go into suspend mode after the regular pre-specified time. This way, your Bluetooth™ connection to your phone won’t be broken if you step away from your ARCHOS for a few minutes and it goes into sleep mode.

Note: Most all 3G Bluetooth™ phones with a data plan will allow you to connect to the Internet in this manner. If you have problems, take a look at a list of phones that one of the user groups has created to see if it has been tested and verified to work fine.

Some video services provide H.264-encoded videos, some provide WMV encoded ones, while others choose MKV as a format.

Videos can come in standard format (SD) or High-Definition (HD). It can be a maze to get through.

With the extensive video format support of the ARCHOS 5, all it takes is a simple drag and drop to watch the video files you want, thus taking the drudgery out of converting video files -– if you can even convert them at all.
