Sleep mode

Hi,

My “My book live duo” never seems to go to sleep. I am suspecting other devices on my network to cause this, but how can I be sure. And most importantly, how can I get my book to not care and just go to sleep. Those other devices are wireless webcams, heating controllers etc. which have no need to access my book.

Hi, the front My Book light will blink if it’s being accessed by other devices or programs on your network, if someone is doing remote access, the MBLD will also index any new files you save. You can try disabling any devices that might be accessing the MBLD.
