Abstract
The invention relates to a method for controlling a communications device which has a main operating unit ( ) and a subunit ( ). In order to ensure that as little energy as possible is consumed, the invention provides that, after an operating period, operating state data for the main unit ( ) are stored in a status memory ( ) in the subunit ( ) and, after this, the voltage supply for the main operating unit ( ) is switched off in order to change the communications device to an energy saving mode, and in that, after the voltage supply for the main operating unit ( ) has been switched on, the stored operating state data are transmitted from the status memory ( ) to the main operating unit ( ) in order to operate the communications device during the following operating period.
