Table 13 Operational timing of nRF24L01
When the nRF24L01 is in power down it must always settle in Standby for 1.5ms
before it can enter one of the TX or RX modes. Note that the configuration word will
be lost if VDD is turned off and that the device then must be configured before going
to one of the TX or RX mode.
