3.3.3.2 Temperature Control during Emergency Call
If the temperature limit is exceeded while an emergency call is in progress the engine
continues to measure the temperature, but deactivates the shutdown functionality. If the
temperature is still out of range when the call ends, the module switches off immediately
(without another alert message).
3.3.3.3 Undervoltage Shutdown if Battery NTC is Present
In applications where the module’s charging technique is used and an NTC is connected to
the GSM_BATT_TEMP terminal, the software constantly monitors the applied voltage. If the
measured battery voltage is no more sufficient to set up a call the following URC will be
presented:
^SBC: Undervoltage.
The message will be reported, for example, when you attempt to make a call while the
voltage is close to the critical limit and further power loss is caused during the transmit burst.
To remind you that the battery needs to be charged soon, the URC appears several times
before the module switches off.
To enable or disable the URC use the AT^SBC command. The URC will be enabled when
you enter the write command and specify the power consumption of your GSM application.
