The table below briefly summarizes the various operating modes referred to in the following 

chapters.

Overview of operating modes

Normal 

operation

GSM / GPRS / 

UMTS / HSPA / 

LTE IDLE

No data transfer in progress.

GPRS DATA

GPRS data transfer in progress. Power consumption depends on net-

work settings (e.g. power control level), uplink / downlink data rates and 

GPRS configuration (e.g. used multislot settings).

EGPRS DATA

EGPRS data transfer in progress. Power consumption depends on net-

work settings (e.g. power control level), uplink / downlink data rates and 

EGPRS configuration (e.g. used multislot settings).

UMTS DATA

UMTS data transfer in progress. Power consumption depends on net-

work settings (e.g. TPC Pattern) and data transfer rate.

HSPA DATA

HSPA data transfer in progress. Power consumption depends on net-

work settings (e.g. TPC Pattern) and data transfer rate.

LTE DATA

LTE data transfer in progress. Power consumption depends on network 

settings (e.g. TPC Pattern) and data transfer rate.

Power 

Down

Normal shutdown after sending the AT^SMSO command. Software is not active. Interfaces 

are not accessible. Operating voltage (connected to BATT+) remains applied.

Airplane 

mode

Airplane mode shuts down the radio part of the module, causes the module to log off from 

the GSM/GPRS network and disables all AT commands whose execution requires a radio 

connection.

Airplane mode can be controlled by AT command (see
