5.1 Power
Savers
Your Lancer 3W modem is designed with state-of-the-art power saving features.
5.1.1 Transmitting
The Lancer 3W modem consumes the greatest amount of power when transmitting. The
modem transmits only when it’s necessary to send to or acknowledge data from the
network. For example, you may be connected and browsing the Internet, but the transmitter
doesn’t turn “on” unless the modem needs to send data to a web site.
5.1.2 Sleep
Mode
Your Lancer 3W modem has an advanced power saving feature called sleep mode. This
allows the modem to shut off almost all power consumption during times when registered
with the Wireless IP network, but has no data to send or receive.
In Sleep mode, the modem checks for incoming data periodically (about once every couple
of minutes). If it senses data to send or receive, it resumes normal operation.
Sleep mode only operates when the Lancer 3W modem is on the network, so it must be in
an area with Wireless IP coverage. The modem comes with the sleep mode off, but may be
reconfigured using the Wireless Modem Manager.
