RC-RICK-XXX1-AT Command (Radiofrequency Command) Description AT+Standby switch RF to standby mode AT+Standby means to switch the state of RF layer to idle state. When the RF layer is in the TX or RX state, if I want to interrupt the current TX or RX state of the RF layer, I can use AT+Standby to make the RF enter the standby mode. AT+Standby means that AT+Standby enters the lowest power consumption state, but BaseBand can still receive AT commands.
