8.2 Electrical Characteristics 
8.2.1 Power Supply 
Table 13: Electrical characteristics 
Operating Voltage 
ranges  
5.5 V to 32 V DC (GSM or DCS or GPRS). 
Maximum current  480 mA Average at 5.5V. 
2.1 A Peak at 5.5 V. 
 
Note
:  
The M1306B is permanently powered once the power supply is connected. The 
following table describes the consequences of over-voltage and under-voltage with 
the Fastrack M1306B. 
Warning:
 
All the input voltages specification described in this chapter are at the M1306B input. 
While powering the M1306B, take into account the input drop caused by the power 
cable. With the delivered cable, this input drop is around 700 mV at 5.5 V and 220 
mV at 32V.

falls below 5.5 V,  the GSM communication is not guaranteed. 
is over 32 V 
(Transient peaks), 
the M1306B guarantees its own protection. 
isover 32 V 
(continuous overvoltage) 
the protection of the M1306B is done by the 
fuse (the supply voltage is disconnected).  
 
The fuse is a 800 mA / 250 V FAST-ACTING 5*20mm. See Chapter 10 for 
recommended references. 
The following table provides information on power consumption of the Fastrack 
M1306B, assuming an operating temperature of +25 °C and using a 3 V SIM card.
