If not so, GOSUNCN does not take on any liability for customer failure to comply with these precautions. Full attention must be given to driving at all times in order to reduce the risk of an accident. Using a mobile while driving (even with a hands free kit) cause distraction and can lead to an accident.

The 3.3Vaux signal (PIN No: 2/24//39/41/52, Power Interface). This is the positive signal of 3.3V/3.8V power, and is also the input signaling of module’s power. The power supply is recommended to be within the range of 3.0~4.0V(Typ.3.3V/3.8V) All Rights reserved, No Spreading without GOSUNCN Permission...
The resistors in Figure above is only the recommended value and they need to adjust according to the actual situation. There is anti-shake design with pin WAKEUP_IN internal, external processor need to pull-up or pull-down the pin last for at least 500ms. All Rights reserved, No Spreading without GOSUNCN Permission...
Do not directly connect this signal to the positive end of the power supply. When there is a call/SMS received by the module, it will output the level shown as the figure below through WAKEUP_OUT pin to wake the host. All Rights reserved, No Spreading without GOSUNCN Permission...
