Ikôn Rugged PDA (Windows Mobile 6.1) User Manual 235
When the Ikôn enters suspend mode, the modem remains powered. If the Ikôn 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 Ikôn
wakes from suspend mode, the modem is ready immediately; modem or network initializa-
tion 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 Ikôn if the network status changes, or
there is a new incoming SMS.
6.44.6 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 initialization, resulting in a no-
ticeable delay before the SMS functions become available.
