Turn Off - Quectel BC66 Manual

BC66 and that PWRKEY is not kept low all the time as otherwise the module cannot enter Deep
Sleep mode.
2. For BC660K-GL: After the module is powered off, it can be turned on again only after its VBAT
voltage drops below 0.7 V. The actual discharging time of VBAT needs to be determined based on
circuit tests and enough time margin should be left to avoid abnormal module startup. After VBAT is
powered on, RESET_N and BOOT automatically rise to high level due to internal pull-ups.
3. The red part in the above figure is for BC66.
4. The black part in the above figure is for BC660K-GL.
