252 WORKABOUT PRO Hand-Held Computer With Windows Mobile 5.0 User Manual
• Enabled – Always On
When the WORKABOUT PRO enters suspend mode, the modem remains
powered indefinitely.
• Enabled – Keep on for 5 min
• Enabled – Keep on for 15 min
• Enabled – Keep on for 30 min
• Enabled – Keep on for 1 hour
• Enabled – Keep on for 2 hours
When the hand-held enters suspend mode, the modem remains powered. If
the WORKABOUT PRO is not turned on again during the configured time,
the unit briefly wakes up from suspend mode, shuts down the modem, and
enters suspend mode again. The default mode is Enabled - Keep on for 1
hour.
At the cost of a slightly increased power consumption in suspend mode, the modes
where the modem remains powered during suspend mode have several advantages.
When the hand-held wakes from suspend mode, the modem is ready immediately;
modem or network initialization is not required. A packet data session can thus
remain active during suspend mode. In these modes, the modem is also able to wake
up the hand-held if the network status changes, or there is a new incoming SMS.
6.33.6 SMS Menu
SMS functions are accessed through the SMS menu. For modems that support a
SIM card, the SIM initialization typically takes longer than the network initializa-
tion, resulting in a noticeable delay before the SMS functions become available.
