  • Telematics device and method of operation
    Publication number: 20040198466
    Abstract: A method of operating a telematics device includes a control unit (106) communicating an ignition status (139) of a vehicle (103) to a wireless device (104). The wireless device detects the ignition status and determines if a low-power mode (109) is available. If the low-power mode is available, the wireless device can communicate a low-power mode available signal (204) to the control unit. Upon receipt of the low-power mode available signal, the control unit communicates a shutdown time (206) to the wireless device and enters a power-off status (105). The wireless device enters the low-power mode and monitors for a power-on condition (115).
