Low Power
(Airplane Mode)
Module is active
Module enters this state:
Under host interface control:
Host issues AT+CFUN=0 (3GPP TS 27.007), or
Host asserts W_DISABLE#, after AT!PCOFFEN=0 has been
issued.
Automatically, when critical temperature or voltage trigger limits
have been reached)
✓
✓
-
Sleep
Normal state of module between calls or data connections
Module cycles between wake (polling the network) and sleep, at
network provider-determined interval.
✓
-
-
Off
Host keeps module powered off by asserting Full_Card_Power_Off#
(signal pulled low or left floating)
Module draws minimal current
✓
-
-
Disconnected
Host power source is disconnected from the module and all voltages
associated with the module are at 0 V.

Power State Transitions
The module uses state machines to monitor supply voltage and operating temperature and notifies
the host when critical threshold limits are exceeded. (See
for state machine behavior.)
Power state transitions may occur:
Automatically, when critical supply voltage or module temperature trigger levels are encountered.
Under host control, using available AT commands in response to user choices (for example,
opting to switch to airplane mode) or operating conditions.
