Never use a diode to make the drop voltage between a higher input and module power. Otherwise, Neoway will not provide warranty for product issues caused by this. In this situation, the diode will obviously decrease the module performances, or result in unexpected restarts, due to the forward voltage of diode will vary greatly in different temperature and current.
2 seconds later it will shut down. Another approach to turn off the module is using AT commands. For details, see M590 GPRS Module AT Commands. Figure 3-7 shows the power-off procedure of the module.

M590 GPRS Module Hardware User Guide 3.1.4 RESET You can reset the module by keeping the RESET pin low level for more than 100 ms.The pin is pulled up by an internal resistor and the typical high level is 2.8 V. The RESET pin can be left disconnected if not used. If you use 3.3 V IO system, you are advised to separate it by using triode.
M590 GPRS Module Hardware User Guide If the UART is interfacing with a MCU that has 3.3V logic levels, it is recommended that you add a level shifting circuit outside of the module. Figure 3-12 Recommended circuit for the communication between 3.3V MCU and UART VDD_EXT 0.1 uF...

OUTPUT is connected to URXD of the module and VCC_OUT is connected to VDD_EXT(2.8V) of the module.If the circuit is far away from the VDD_EXTpin, add a 0.1 μF decoupling...
SIM card data IO Internal pull-up M590 supports 3.0 V and 1.8 V SIM cards. VSIM supplies power for SIM card with 30mA. SIM_DATA is internally pulled up by a resistor. External pull-up resistor is not needed. SIM_CLK can work at several frequenciesat 3.25MHz typically.
When the module is running, the LED indicator is driven by the LIGHT to indicate different module status with its various blink behaviors. You can set the blink mode by AT commands. For more details, see M590 GPRS Module AT Command Set.
M590 GPRS Module Hardware User Guide RF Interface 3.6.1 RF Design and PCB Layout A 50 Ω antenna is required. VSWR ranges from 1.1 to 1.5. The antenna should be well matched to achieve best performance. It should be installed far away from high speed logic circuits, DC/DC power, or any other strong disturbing sources.
