-Wireless Transfer
-Power Bank
-Wireless Transfer + Power Bank (only applicable to SD Cards)
When the Wireless Transfer mode is active, we will be able to see on our mobile phones or PC/Mac a newly created network, to which we can connect easily:
The AE400 will show itself as a computer inside the Network section, allowing us to browse the files on our SD card or any other storage device we have connected to it:
