proper handling.
b. ALL RETURNS REQUIRE A RETURN MERCHANDISE AUTHORIZATION (RMA). You can call our technical support for RMA
authorization or use our automated RMA request page on our website (located under 'Product Returns') to initiate the return and
repair process. Archos will work within a 'best effort' framework to send out your repaired product within 10 working days from
the reception of your product at its repair center.

a. for any data stored on returned products. Customers should backup his/her data prior to shipping the unit back to Archos. Hard
drives and devices which include a hard disk or other memory storage system will be reformatted during the repair process (even
if the repair is not related to the hard drive itself) and will not include the customer's data when it is returned.
b. for protecting the confidentiality of any data on a product sent in for repair.
6. All returns must be returned in the manufacturer's original packaging with the product. Make sure to include all cables, soft-

Archos-issued RMA number, the package will be refused for delivery.

(Post Office, UPS or FEDEX agent) immediately.
