Charging the Battery
The GoFlex Satellite device uses a rechargeable lithium-ion battery. A fully charged battery
provides up to five hours of continuous streaming. However, the battery will lose its charge
faster when playing higher resolution video. When the drive is in standby mode, the battery
retains its charge for up to 25 hours. The GoFlex Satellite device enters standby mode after
five minutes of inactivity.
Note: Exact battery life subject to product model, normal usage conditions and configurations.
Dispose of batteries properly.
When the power LED turns red, GoFlex Satellite has about 50 minutes of battery life and
should be charged soon. The fastest way to charge the battery is to connect the GoFlex
Satellite device to a power outlet using the included USB to DC power cable and the USB
wall adapter. If you’re travelling, you can also use the USB to DC power cable together with
the USB car charger. It takes about four hours to charge the battery.
Note: For safety purposes, the drive stops charging after four hours.
If you plan travel with GoFlex Satellite, be sure to take the power adapter and/or car charger
and the USB power cable with you. The power adapter will also charge your iOS device.
