The power supply should be set above nominal 3.8V to 
accommodate worst case power supply drop. i.e. 4.0V. 
 
The power supply should have good regulation with < 200mV 
drop at 2.2A. 
 
Adequate supply decoupling (10,000uF min.) is added at 
terminal connector to reduce ripple and smooth supply voltage 
steps. 
 
The power supply be capable of supplying non-ideal current 
consumption conditions of up to 2.2A for up to 20 seconds and 
with a duty cycle (set by data usage) ~ 30% maximum. 
 
Multiple pins are assigned to both power and ground 
connections for the modem. Connection of all designated pins 
to the appropriate supply or ground in the host/terminal is 
necessary to accommodate modem current requirements. 
 
The host/terminal must provide a continuous supply.  
The modem is fully compliant with the DataTAC Power Save 
Management system. The modem exists in the lowest power state 
possible while still providing uninterrupted service. By de-asserting 
the HOSTPWR_ON signal, the modem disconnects from the 
network then enters a near-zero power state. The modem resets if 
the power source is cycled. This can cause network service issues, 
since the modem might not have had a chance to de-register. The 
modem spends the majority of time in sleep mode. 
Conservation 
In installations requiring power conservation (such as, when the 
modem is powered from a battery or solar cell), you must monitor 
modem power consumption in various operating states. Even though 
the Boomer II OEM modems are designed for minimal power 
consumption, by using the network Power Save protocol offered by 
DataTAC networks you can further reduce power consumption. 
Another power saving idea is to activate the modem only when it is 
needed. 
Note: The on-board LEDs may be disabled to minimise power 
consumption. Refer to Appendix A - NCL Interface. All LEDs will 
flash on start-up and the Receive and Transmit LEDs will flash on 
power down regardless of the state of the LED disable control. 
Power Save Protocol 
The modem typically uses current provided by the host/terminal 
battery. For the product to be usable for a reasonable period in portable 
applications, the host/terminal battery power must be conserved. To 
meet this requirement, the modem uses DataTAC Power Save protocol. 
The Power Save Protocol defines the following four modem power 
consumption states:
