Operating currentin sleep mode
2
: means the current drawn by the module in sleep mode, a low power consumption
state, in which its RF function is functioning properly but its peripheral interfaces are disabled. If there is an incoming
call or SMS, the module will exit from the sleep mode, and after the incoming call or voice instant messaging has
ended, the module will re-enter the sleep mode.
Operating currentin idle mode
3
: means the current drawn by the module in a normal operating mode, but no data
service is being processed.
Operating currentin normal operation mode
4
: means the current drawn by the module when there are on-going data
services. In this mode, only the current value in LTE system is exemplified. For other current values in other network
modes, please refer to the current test report.
