Operating Temperatures
Note
:
•
See
for further information about the NTCs for on-board and battery temper-
ature measurement, automatic thermal shutdown and alert messages.
•
When data are transmitted over GPRS the EGS3 automatically reverts to a lower Multislot
Class if the temperature increases to the limit specified for normal operation and, vice
versa, returns to the higher Multislot Class if the temperature is back to normal. For details
see

1. Restricted operation allows normal mode speech calls or data transmission for limited time until auto-
matic thermal shutdown takes effect. The duration of emergency calls is unlimited because automatic
thermal shutdown is deferred until hang up.

2. Due to temperature measurement uncertainty, a tolerance on the stated shutdown thresholds may oc-
cur. The possible deviation is in the range of ±3°C at the overtemperature limit and ±5°C at the under-
temperature limit.

1. Temperature values are based on a setup with EGS3 mounted onto an adapter without any heat gene-
rating components and connected via flex cable to the Cinterion DSB75 Evaluation Kit.
