Standby Functions
This feature allows the Wii U console to automatically download and install data even after it has been
powered down.
· This setting is enabled by default. (You can disable it under Power Settings in System Settings on the Wii U Menu.)
· Standby Functions will not run:
• if the console has been turned off by pressing the POWER Button for more than four seconds.
• if the AC adapter is disconnected while the console is turned off.
If you disable Standby Functions and the Auto Power-Down feature is triggered, the console will power
down to a low power mode in which it performs no functions.
Reading the power LED when Standby Functions are enabled
If Standby Functions are enabled and the console is turned off, the console will periodically search for available
software updates, during which time the power LED will turn from red to orange. If software on the console
needs updating or installing, the required data will be downloaded and installed. Once all data has been down-
loaded and installed, the power LED will turn back to red.
· After Standby Functions are complete, there will be a default period of one hour until the next check begins (during
which the power LED will be red). You can change this period under Power Settings in System Settings on the Wii U Menu.
