1. Download the file aimage.img
The image file to download
AIMAGE.IMG
is quite large – approximately 22 MB. If you have only a
telephone modem connection, you should consider finding high speed connection to download the file because
of this large size. When you click on the link to download the new OS file, your browser may warn you that
the contents of the download may harm your computer. This is because the Windows
®
system does not know
what an .IMG file is. Be assured that Archos has made every effort to ensure that the file does not contain
viruses. Click on the option
Save
to download this file to a convenient place, such as
My Documents
, in order
to later copy this file to your PMA400. If your PMA400 is connected to your PC, you can even save it directly
to the
System
folder in your PMA400.

Users
Macintosh
®
users should be especially careful when they download and save this file to their Macintosh
®
computer. Do not double-click on it. Macs use .img files and if you double click on this saved .img, it will try
to open it. Instead, simply copy it from your Macintosh to your PMA400’s System folder. Just drag and drop.
2. Read the History.txt File
On the Archos website, you will also find next to the OS download, a text file which details the list of changes
from the previous version of the OS.
3. Copy to PMA400 System Folder
Connect your PMA400 to your computer and then copy the AIMAGE.IMG file to the System
folder of the PMA400. Since there will be an older version of this file on your PMA400 already,
your computer will ask if you want to overwrite the current file. Click on Yes. Once this file is
copied, safely disconnect the PMA400 from the computer.
Attention:
The
aimage.img
must always remain in the System folder of the PMA400. Even once
you have updated your PMA400, you must not remove that file.
