500ms should be delayed after detecting the low level of STATUS. The restart scenario is
illustrated as the following figure.

Upon system requirement, there are several actions to drive the module to enter low current
consumption status. For example, "AT+CFUN" can be used to set module into minimum
functionality mode and DTR hardware interface signal can be used to lead system to SLEEP
mode.
