How to remotely transfer data to and from your Apollo using an iPhone or iPad The following document is intended to be a troubleshooting guide to ensure you are downloading or uploading your Apollo 600 from or to an iPhone or iPad. You will need a USB flash drive with lightning connector to do this. The USB device which we have identified and tested is a SanDisk® iXpand™ Flash Drive. Other similar products may work but are not supported by Seaward. For device & iOS compatibility please check the packaging of the USB flash drive. You will also need to download the supporting App from the App Store, details of this can also be found on the packaging. Please check all aspects of this before contacting the technical support helpline. 1) Please register your Apollo to receive an additional 12 months warranty plus full access to Product Support. You can do this at www.seaward.co.uk/warranty24 or by completing the form in the “Care and Support” card and returning by post. 2) Please ensure your Apollo has the latest firmware installed, to do this please see the following link: www.seaward.co.uk/apollo-series-firmware 3) Note, these instructions are only valid for the Apollo 600 with a “Flash Memory” port
