(Maximum power) Averaged GSM/EDGE data current consumption (includes USB bus current)
GSM/GPRS Quad GSM 560 mA Max PCL for each band

Peak current (averaged
over 100 s)
2.75 A Worst case on 850/900 band.
a. Highest current is on Band II (PCS1900)
b. Approximate current difference between speeds = 20 mA
Example: Current(7.2 Mbps) = Current(3.6 Mbps) + 20 mA = Current(1.8 Mbps) + 40 mA
c. Highest current is on 850/900 band Class 10 (Class 12 implements power backoff). Current on 1800/900 bands is typically
100–200 mA less.
