Table 4: Comparison Charge-only and Charge mode

How to activate mode
Connect charger to charger input of host
application charging circuit and module's
VCHARGE pin while TC65 is
• operating, e.g. in IDLE or TALK mode
• in SLEEP mode
Connect charger to charger input of host
application charging circuit and module's
VCHARGE pin while TC65 is
• in Power-down mode
• in Normal mode: Connect charger to
the VCHARGE
AT^SMSO.

Description of mode
• Battery can be charged while GSM module
remains operational and registered to the
GSM network.
• In IDLE and TALK mode, the serial interfaces
are accessible. All AT commands can be
used to full extent.
NOTE: If the module operates at maximum
power level (PCL5) and GPRS Class 12 at the
same time the current consumption is higher than
the current supplied by the charger.
• Battery can be charged while GSM engine is
deregistered from GSM network.
• Charging runs smoothly due to constant
current consumption.
• The AT interface is accessible and allows to
use the commands listed below.
