Power Modes and Information

The PinPoint‐E can be configured to switch power modes in response to specific events, such as when the voltage to the modem drops below a configured threshold or when the DTR changes, in order to conserve a vehicleʹs battery life. The stand‐ by state, low‐power mode, will prevent the modem from draining the battery while allowing the modem to quickly power up to regular operation when it is needed.

Tip: If you want to use Low Power Mode, you should choose either voltage level or DTR/RTS as the trigger, not both.

You can configure Low Power mode using AceManager.
