Follow the procedure below to copy using Direct Copy. To copy using Direct Copy on a mobile device, refer to the
“Starting Direct Copy” section in chapter 9.

You now have 60 seconds to press the function button once. If you do, the function LED will flash as all the files

LED on the LinkStation will be extinguished. Dismount the USB device from the LinkStation by referring to the
“Dismounting an External Drive” section in chapter 5.
