Figure 17 roughly describes the current consumption profile of the SARA-G300 and SARA-G310 modules (when 
their EXT32K input is not fed by a signal, i.e. left unconnected), or  the SARA-G340 and SARA-G350 modules 
(‘00’ versions only), or the SARA-U2 modules, when power saving is disabled: the module is registered with the 
network,  active  mode  is  maintained,  and  the  receiver  and  the  DSP  are  periodically  activated  to  monitor  the 
paging channel for paging block reception.

Figure 17: VCC current consumption profile versus time of the SARA-G300 and SARA-G310 modules (when their EXT32K input is 
not fed by a signal), or the SARA-G340 and SARA-G350 modules (‘00’ versions only), or the SARA-U2 modules, when registered 
with the network, with power saving disabled: the active mode is always held, and the receiver and the DSP are periodically 
activated to monitor the paging channel 
 
For detailed modules’ VCC current  consumption values in fixed  active mode  (module registered  with 2G  /  3G 
network  with  power  saving  disabled),  see  the  SARA-G3  series  Data  Sheet [1]  and  the  SARA-U2  series  Data 
Sheet [2].
