Caring for the AV400
The Archos Video AV400 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 (especially when connected 
to a computer).
• Keep the AV400 away from water and excessively humid areas.
• Keep the AV400 away from high electromagnetic fields.
• Keep any connected cords to the AV400 neatly arranged. This light 
product could fall if a cord is accidentally pulled by a child.
• Do not open up the AV400. There are no user serviceable parts inside.
Opening will void your warranty.

Hardware Reset
In the event that your AV400 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 AV400 after being held down 
for 3 seconds.
