^SBC: Undervoltage
The message will be reported, for example, when you attempt to set up a call
while the voltage is close to the critical limit and further power loss is caused du r-
ing the transmit burst. To remind you that the battery needs to be charged so on,
the URC appears several times before the module switches off.
When the module is in IDLE mode it takes typically one minute to dere gister from
the network and to switch off.
Undervoltage protection in mains operated applications:
· The undervoltage protection is also efficient in applications whic h are not bat-
tery operated, i.e. in applications where the ACCU_TEMP pin is not con-
nected. To use this feature it is sufficient to issue the write comm and which
automatically enables the presentation of URCs. You do not need to specify
<current>. Please note, that in contrast to battery powered applications , the
ME will present the undervoltage URC only once and will then switch off with-
out sending any further messages.

Siemens
Note
· If Multiplex mode is active, any virtual channel can be used to enter the write
command and to specify <current>. The undervoltage URC appears simulta-
neously on all three channels.
· The URC "^SYSSTART CHARGE-ONLY MODE" is indicated automatically
when the engine enters this mode (except when autobauding is active). Un like
the undervoltage URC, it cannot be disabled or enabled by the user.

Note: While charging is in progress, no battery capacity value is ava ilable. To
query the battery capacity disconnect the charger. If the charger con nects exter-
nally to the host device no charging parameters are transferred to the m odule. In
this case, the command cannot be used.
