Connecting to a Computer
When connected to a computer, MediaFlair acts as an
external storage device, which means it can store any
file, but will only stream files supported by MediaFlair.
MediaFlair can operate in two different modes when
connected to a computer, depending on the power
switch position:

In this mode, MediaFlair will act as a USB flash drive,
allowing you to transfer data via USB cable. You can
also charge the device’s internal battery in this mode.
Please note, MediaFlair’s wireless functions are not
available in this mode.
Power ON (Wireless Data Transfer):
In this mode, you can use MediaFlair’s wireless
functions while charging it via USB cable. Data
transfer from your computer is not available in
this mode. While streaming and charging can be
performed simultaneously, to fully charge the device’s
battery, you should switch MediaFlair into Power OFF
mode.
