| STAGE | MINIMUM VOLTAGE | SENSOR MEASUREMENTS | DATA TRANSMISSION | NOTE |
| 1. normal mode | > 6 V | ☑ | ☑ | default (normal) operating mode where the device measures and logs sensors data and transmits the logs to the FieldClimate cloud |
| 2. gathering mode | 5.8 V – 6 V | ☑ | ☒ | device is only measuring and logging sensors data, it does not have enough power to execute transmission |
| 3. Sleeping mode | < 5.8 V | ☒ | ☒ | device does not have enough power to measure the sensors or to do the data transmissions |
