Abstract
In a mobile wireless communication end device having an electric power source including a cell, and a signal processing part and a transmitting-receiving part, to which electric power is applied from the electric power source, operation is performed in operation mode selected previously by the user when voltage of the electric power source is dropped. The signal processing part and the transmitting-receiving part have a normal operation mode operating at normal electric power and a low power operation mode operating at electric power lower than the normal operation mode. The mobile wireless communication end device includes operation mode setting apparatus for previously setting the operation mode of the device, observing apparatus for observing the voltage of the cell of the electric power source and generating a low power operation request signal when the voltage becomes a prescribed value or less, and apparatus for changing the signal processing part and the transmitting-receiving part to low power operation mode, when the low power operation mode is set by the operation mode setting means and the low power operation request signal is generated by the observing apparatus.
