3.1.1. Sleep Mode
DRX can reduce the current power consumption of the module to the minimum value during sleep mode,
and DRX cycle index values are broadcasted by the wireless network. The figure below shows the
relationship between the DRX run time and the current power consumption in sleep mode. The longer

Software is active. The module has registered on the network, and
Idle
it is ready to send and receive data.
Network is connected. In this mode, the power consumption is
Voice/Data
decided by network setting and data transfer rate.
AT+CFUN=0 command sets the module to minimum functionality mode without
removing the power supply. In this case, both RF function and (U)SIM card are
invalid.
AT+CFUN=4 command or driving W_DISABLE# low will set the module to
airplane mode. In this case, the RF function is invalid.
When AT+QSCLK=1 command is executed and the host's USB bus enters
suspend state, the module will enter sleep mode. The module keeps receiving
paging messages, SMS, voice calls and TCP/UDP data from the network with its
current consumption reducing to the minimal level.
In this mode, the power management unit shuts down the power supply.
Software is inactive, all application interfaces are inaccessible, and the operating
voltage (connected to VBAT_RF and VBAT_BB) remains applied.
