Quick question about Standby mode - How can you see it?

Hello, I know this question may seem trivial, so forgive me if it is too stupid to ask you but I would like to know something about “sleep mode” of WD My Book Duo.

I know how to set it, but since this is my first device without any button, I would like to know how can you recognise that the device went to the “sleep mode”? Does that flash / little light on it change somehow or do something, or you can see it elwhere? I would like to take good care of My Book Duo so I just wanted to ask that.

Thank you for your answer! :blush:

Hello and welcome to the WD Community.

Depending on the lights of the unit, you will be able to tell if the unit is in standby.

For more information about the led light on the unit, please see page 5 of the user manual.

Thank you very much for your reply, I must have overlooked this information in user manual. :slight_smile:
