A method and apparatus for initiating data communications from a radio communication device (101) to a computing device (103), the radio communication device (101) capable of operating in both a power-conserving, limited-function mode and a full-function mode. The radio communication device (101) elevates operation to the full-function mode in response to a need to communicate with the computing device (103), then transmits to the computing device (103) an attempt to communicate. The radio communication device (101) continues operation in the full-function mode for a predetermined response time period after completing the attempt to communicate, and retransmits the attempt to communicate in response to receiving a retry request from the computing device (103) before expiration of the predetermined response time period. |
