2.2  Operating Modes 
The table below summarizes the various operating modes of SIM800F. 
Table 3: Overview of operating modes 
Mode  Function 
GSM/GPRS 
SLEEP 
Module will automatically go into sleep mode when the sleep mode is 
enabled and there is no on air or hardware interrupt (such as GPIO interrupt 
or data on serial port). 
In this case, the current consumption of module will reduce to the minimal 
level, and the module can still receive paging message and SMS. 
GSM 
IDLE 
Software is active. Module has been registered to the GSM network and is 
ready to communicate. 
GSM 
TALK 
Connection between two subscribers is in progress. In this case, the power 
consumption depends on network settings such as DTX off/on, 
FR/EFR/HR, hopping sequences, antenna. 
GPRS 
STANDBY 
Module is ready for GPRS data transfer, but no data is currently sent or 
received. In this case, power consumption depends on network settings and 
GPRS configuration. 
Normal 
operation 
GPRS 
DATA 
There is GPRS data transfer (PPP or TCP or UDP) in progress. In this case, 
power consumption is related with network settings (e.g. power control 
level), uplink/downlink data rates and GPRS configuration (e.g. used 
multi-slot settings). 
Power off 
Normal power off by sending the AT command “AT+CPOWD=1” or using the PWRKEY. 
The power management unit shuts down the power supply for the baseband part of the 
module, and only the power supply for the RTC is remained. Software is not active. The 
serial port is not accessible. Power supply (connected to VBAT) remains applied. 
Minimum 
functionality 
mode 
AT command “AT+CFUN” can be used to set the module to a minimum functionality mode. 
In this mode, the RF function and SIM card function can be disabled, but the serial port is 
still accessible. The power consumption in this mode is lower than normal mode.
