3.5. Power Saving
3.5.1. Sleep Mode
BG96-NA is able to reduce its current consumption to a minimum value during the sleep mode. The
following section describes power saving procedure of BG96-NA module.
3.5.1.1. UART Application
If the host communicates with module via UART interface, the following preconditions can let the module
enter into sleep mode.
 Execute AT+QSCLK=1 command to enable sleep mode.
 Drive DTR to high level.
The following figure shows the connection between the module and the host.

 Driving the host DTR to low level will wake up the module.
 When BG96-NA has URC to report, RI signal will wake up the host. Refer to Chapter 3.15 for details
about RI behavior.
 AP_READY* will detect the sleep state of the host (can be configured to high level or low level
detection). Please refer to AT+QCFG=“apready” command for details.
