LaCie Fuel - How to optimize your battery life

General Tips:

• The battery of the Lacie Fuel will be drained quicker depending on how many devices are connected to it.  We suggest putting a password on the Lacie Fuel to keep other people from connecting to it.
• Making sure Download and Play is turned on is the best way to conserve the battery life of the Lacie Fuel.
• Files need to be in a .mp4 format to benefit from the Download and Play feature. 
• Having the Lacie Fuel connected to the internet while you are watching content from it will drain the battery faster than normal.  It will also prevent Download and Play from working so we suggest disconnecting the Fuel from the internet when you need to extend the battery life.
