Abstract

The invention discloses a mobile radio telephone set including at least one control processor and at least one signal processor which are at least occasionally not in an active mode. To reduce the energy consumption of the mobile radio telephone set in the simplest manner possible, a control unit selects operating modes at least for the control processor and/or the signal processor. By utilizing a separate control unit, more particularly two or more coupled processors or other switching units of the whole mobile radio telephone set may be controlled independently. Each coupled unit may at once individually be set to its own operating mode to operate only the currently necessary units in this manner and reduce the energy consumption in this manner.
