AT Command Set
MC35_ATC_01_V04.00 Page 58 of 238 02.04.2002
- For every channel a different <text> parameter can be stored.
- <text> will be output on the same logical channel the alarm was entered.
If not in multiplex mode, <text> will be output independent of the related
channel.
- The read command returns all pending alarms, independent on which
logical channel an alarm was entered. It´s up to the user to identify these
alarms by specific <text>s.
Example 1:
You may want to configure a reminder call for May 31, 2001, at 9.30h, including
the message "Good Morning".
Write command:
AT+CALA="01/05/31,09:30:00",0,0,"Good Morning"
OK
Do not switch off the GSM engine. When the alarm is executed the ME returns
the following URC:
+CALA: Good Morning
Example 2:
To set a fresh alarm using the same message as in Example 1, simply enter
date and time. <n>, <type>, <text>, <tlength> can be omitted:
AT+CALA="01/05/31,08:50:00"
OK
When the alarm is executed the URC comes with the same message:
+CALA: Good Morning
Examples
Example 3:
To configure the alarm mode, e.g. for May 20, 2001, at 8.30h, enter
AT+CALA="01/05/20,08:30:00"
OK
Next, power down the ME:
AT^SMSO
^SMSO: MS OFF
When the alarm is executed the ME wakes up to Alarm mode and displays a
URC. If available, this line is followed by the individual <text> most recently
saved. If no individual message was saved only the first line appears.
^SYSSTART ALARM MODE
+CALA: Good Morning

AT^SBC In Alarm mode, you can only query the present current consumption and check
whether or not a charger is connected. The battery capacity is returned as 0, re-
gardless of the actual voltage (since the values measured directly on the cell are
not delivered to the module).
AT^SCTM Query temperature of GSM engine
AT^SMSO Power down GSM engine
