iOS device or Android device, you can use a Web
browser to stream your digital media to any Wi-Fi enabled tablet, smartphone or computer.
See "System Requirements" for a list of compatible devices and Web browsers.
A single user can enjoy up to five hours of continuous play at home or on the road—without
the clutter of cables and wires. GoFlex Satellite can serve up the same or unique content to
three wireless-enabled devices at the same time, allowing each user to enjoy his or her own
experience.
Inside the GoFlex Satellite device is a 500GB hard drive that can store over 300 high
definition movies (1.5GB MP4 H.264), 125,000 songs, or 100,000 photos.
GoFlex Satellite serves as a mobile wireless network. You select the drive in your wireless-
enabled device’s network list and then stream content to your media device.
Setup is easy. Simply connect the drive to your computer, copy the files you want to stream,
wirelessly connect to your GoFlex Satellite device, and in just minutes, you can enjoy your
files around the home, at your favorite hangout or on your next family trip.
The GoFlex Media™ app, specifically for Apple iOS and Android devices, categorizes the
digital media files you copy to GoFlex Satellite. All of your videos, photos, music and
documents are available within the app for easy playback and viewing. See “Playing Videos”
on page 22.
Also available for GoFlex Satellite is the free Seagate Media Sync™ software, which you can
use to automatically synchronize all of your media files with GoFlex Satellite. It can sync all
media files or only those supported by an iPad, iPhone or iPod touch. See “Step 2: Installing
Software” on page 9.
Note: Exact battery life subject to product model, normal usage conditions and configurations.
Dispose of batteries properly.
