2.2 Operating Modes
The table below summarizes the various operating modes of SIM808.
Table 4: Overview of operating modes
Mode Function
GSM/GPRS
SLEEP
Module will automatically go into sleep mode if the conditions of sleep
mode are enabling and there is no on air and no hardware interrupt (such as
GPIO interrupt or data on serial port).
In this case, the current consumption of module will reduce to the minimal
level.
In sleep mode, the module can still receive paging message and SMS.
GSM
IDLE
Software is active. Module registered to the GSM network, and the module
is ready to communicate.
GSM
TALK
Connection between two subscribers is in progress. In this case, the power
consumption depends on network settings such as DTX off/on,
FR/EFR/HR, hopping sequences, antenna.
GPRS
STANDBY
Module is ready for GPRS data transfer, but no data is currently sent or
received. In this case, power consumption depends on network settings and
GPRS configuration.
GPRS
DATA
There is GPRS data transfer (PPP or TCP or UDP) in progress. In this case,
power consumption is related with network settings (e.g. power control
level); uplink/downlink data rates and GPRS configuration (e.g. used
multi-slot settings).
Normal
operation
Charge The mode support charge function (Default is not support).
Power down
Normal power down by sending the AT command “AT+CPOWD=1” or using the PWRKEY.
The power management unit shuts down the power supply for the baseband part of the
module, and only the power supply for the RTC is remained. Software is not active. The
serial port is not accessible. Power supply (connected to VBAT) remains applied.
Minimum
functionality
mode
AT command “AT+CFUN” can be used to set the module to a minimum functionality mode
without removing the power supply. In this mode, the RF part of the module will not work or
the SIM card will not be accessible, or both RF part and SIM card will be closed, and the
serial port is still accessible. The power consumption in this mode is lower than normal
mode.
