1.14.3 Power Save Mode
Power Save Mode (PSM) allows a reduction in system power consumption by selectively switching parts of the
receiver on and off.
Power Save mode is not available with NEO-6P, NEO-6T and NEO-6V.
1.15 Configuration
1.15.1 Boot-time configuration
NEO-6 modules provide configuration pins for boot-time configuration. These become effective immediately
after start-up. Once the module has started, the configuration settings can be modified with UBX configuration
messages. The modified settings remain effective until power-down or reset. If these settings have been stored
in battery-backup RAM, then the modified configuration will be retained, as long as the backup battery supply is
not interrupted.
NEO-6 modules include both CFG_COM0 and CFG_COM1 pins and can be configured as seen in Table 6.

NEO-6 modules include a CFG_GPS0 pin, which enables the boot-time configuration of the power mode. These
settings are described in Table 7. Default settings in bold.

Static activation of the CFG_COM and CFG_GPS pins is not compatible with use of the SPI interface.
1.16 Design-in
In order to obtain the necessary information to conduct a proper design-in, u-blox strongly recommends
consulting the LEA-6/NEO-6/MAX-6 Hardware Integration Manual [1].
