Usage Tips:
-
Connecting the Module:
-
Connect the VCC pin to a stable power supply (3.4V to 4.5V).
-
Connect the GND pin to the ground of your system.
-
Connect the TXD and RXD pins to the UART interface of your microcontroller (use a level shifter if necessary for 5V systems).
-
Inserting the SIM Card:
-
Insert a valid 1.8V or 3V SIM card into the SIM card slot of the module.
-
Antenna Connection:
-
Attach an external GSM antenna to the SMA connector for better signal reception.
-
Powering Up the Module:
-
Use the PWRKEY pin to turn on the module (pull the PWRKEY pin low for at least 1 second).
-
Communication:
-
Use AT commands via the UART interface to control the module and perform tasks such as making calls, sending SMS, and transmitting data.
