Enable Sleep
• —Sleep Mode places the transceiver into a "hiber-
nated" low power state, with a nominal current draw of less than
10 mA (at 13 Vdc). "Wake-up" time is approximately 50 milli-
seconds. Sleep Mode is often used at battery/solar-powered
remote sites to conserve power. An active low on Pin 4 of the
