127 | Q13: When I plug the charger in my Recorder, it doesn't immediately start | ||
128 | charging the batteries. And when I plug in the charger when the Recorder | ||
129 | is turned off, it turns itself on and starts charging in the Archos | ||
130 | software? What's up? | ||
131 | A13: There is a switch in the DC IN jack of the Jukebox - when a charger (or | ||
132 | whatever) is plugged in, the unit is powered on, even if the charger | ||
133 | is not plugged in a mains outlet. | ||
134 | |||
135 | If the charger is providing power at this point, the Archos firmware | ||
136 | located on the FLASH ROM does not load a new firmware version (like | ||
137 | Rockbox) from the disk, but goes into charging mode instead. You can | ||
138 | use this feature to get to the Archos charger if you want to. | ||
139 | |||
140 | When Rockbox is running on the Recorder (the device has been booted | ||
141 | without the charger) it's power management code runs once per minute | ||
142 | (thus the charge level and charging status is only updated every minute). | ||
143 | If the battery is not full, it will start charging. If the 'deep | ||
144 | discharge' mode is enabled in the settings menu, it will start charging | ||
145 | only when the battery is almost empty. | ||
