You can prolong battery life by enabling ECO mode on your mobile storage.

1. Tap on the More icon (ellipse) on the upper right and select the battery icon.
2. Enable ECO mode by tapping on its switch.

When playing a video, the storage device uses your mobile device’s memory to temporarily store the video content. By using the mobile device's memory, the storage device can enter sleep mode to conserve its battery.

The Energy Conservation gauge reveals your energy status. Your status changes when you turn services or features on or off. By enabling ECO mode, two non-critical services have been turned off:

• DLNA: Allows DLNA playback devices on the network to view and play media files stored on the wireless storage device. DLNA playback devices can be smart televisions, media servers, game consoles, and tablets.
• SAMBA: Allows computers on the network to connect to the wireless storage device as a network volume. Turning it off does not prevent access to the storage device using a web browser.

Even when ECO mode is enabled, you can manually turn on DLNA and SAMBA. Go to Power Settings and tap on the switch for the respective service. It is recommended that you disable the service as soon as possible for optimal battery performance.

To achieve optimal energy conservation:

• Enable ECO mode
• Disable DLNA and SAMBA
• Do not connect your storage device to the Internet while it is connected to your mobile device.
• Confirm that Download and play is enabled in Settings > About > Advanced.
