Now, a paging timing cycle consists of the actual fixed length paging plus a variable length
pause before the next paging. In the pauses between listening to paging messages, the module
resumes power saving, as shown in Figure 34.

The varying pauses explain the different potential for power saving. The longer the pause the
less power is consumed.
Generally, power saving depends on the module’s application scenario and may differ from the
above mentioned normal operation. The power saving interval may be shorter than 0.47 sec-
onds or longer than 2.12 seconds.
