Lithium-Ion Battery Caution
This product is equipped with a Lithium-Ion battery. Do not pierce, open, disassemble it, or use it in a humid and/or corrosive environment. Do not put, store or leave
your product in or near sources of heat, in direct strong sunlight, in a high temperature location, in a pressurized container or in a microwave oven. Do not expose
it to temperatures over 60 C (140 F). If the battery leaks and you come into contact with the leaked fluids, rinse thoroughly with water and seek medical attention
immediately. Failure to follow these instructions could cause the Lithium-Ion battery to leak acid, become hot, explode or ignite and cause injury and/or damage.
Also:
Do not use it in a humid and/or corrosive environment
-
Use only the battery charger designed for ARCHOS 9.
-
Keep batteries away from children.
-
Use only ARCHOS certified batteries for your device. There is a risk of explosion if you use the incorrect type of battery in the ARCHOS 9.
-
If the battery leaks, becomes deformed, or smells strange, carefully disconnect it from the device and contact an ARCHOS service representative.
-
When transporting a battery, make sure that no metal objects (paper clips, coins, etc.) come in contact with the terminals. This could make a short
-
circuit and potentially start a fire.
Dispose used batteries in an environmentally responsible way. Do not throw them in with your regular trash. Most cities and towns have special collec-
-
tion points for used batteries.
If you will not use the device for a long period of time, allow the battery to discharge through normal usage and then store it separately.

Environmental Considerations
Protection of the environment is an important concern to ARCHOS. In order to put this concern into tangible actions, ARCHOS has consciously included a
set of methods that favor a respect for the environment into the entire cycle of its products; from fabrication to consumer usage, to final disposal.
The Product:
The crossed-out garbage can symbol on your product signifies that it falls into the category of electric/electronic equipment. Prod
-
ucts of this type contain substances that are potentially dangerous to the environment and to human health. Therefore, you should not dispose of
the ARCHOS electronic device in a regular trash. As such, the current European directives ask that this device be collected:
At places of distribution in the case of a purchase of a similar electronic product.
-
At locally created disposal areas (waste disposal centers, sorted trash system, etc.)
-
The Batteries:
This symbol on a battery, packaging or manual indicates that at the end of life of your batteries, they must be disposed of in a selective
waste system. You should only dispose of this product’s batteries in a designated collection point for used batteries, not the regular household trash.
The Pb mark indicates that the battery includes quantities of lead that are superior to those stipulated in the European directive CE 2006/66.
By doing this, you are actively participating in the reuse and recycling of disposed electronic and electric equipment that could have potential effects on the
environment and human health.
