Power Mode

The “Power Mode” switch on the back of the unit

has three positions: “Auto”, “On”, and “Off”. The

“Auto” position automatically powers the unit on or

off based with your PC. If your PC is turned on the

LinkStation will power up; if the PC is turned off

the LinkStation will power down.
You must have installed the NAS Navigator software

on your PC for this feature to work. Otherwise, if

you move the switch to “auto”, your unit will power

down by itself and you will have to manually turn it

back on.
Also note that the unit needs to be powered on if

you want to use the Web Access feature. When

using Web Access, it is best to leave the Power

Mode switch set to “On”.
Move the switch to the “Off” position to turn the

LinkStation off. It will take about 35 seconds to

shut down. Do not unplug or interrupt power to

the unit until shutdown is complete and all LEDs

are off.
