1. Introduction
GSM3 click
™
carries SIM800H, a quad-band
(850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900MHz) GSM/GPRS
module that transmits voice, sms and data
information. The board communicates with
the target board MCU through the following
mikroBUS
lines: Tx and Rx (UART), RST
™
(reset), STA (status indicator), RTS, PWK
(PWRKEY, used to power on/down the module)
and CTS. GSM3 click
is designed to use 3.3V
™
and 5V I/O voltage levels.
2. Soldering the headers
Before using your click
™
board, make sure
to solder 1x8 male headers to both left and
right side of the board. Two 1x8 male headers
are included with the board in the package.

appropriate soldering pads.

Turn the board upward again. Make sure
to align the headers so that they are
perpendicular to the board, then solder the
pins carefully.
3. Plugging the board in
Once you have soldered the headers your
board is ready to be placed into the desired
mikroBUS
socket. Make sure to align the cut
™
in the lower-right part of the board with the
markings on the silkscreen at the mikroBUS
socket. If all the pins are aligned
correctly, push the board
all the way into the socket.
4. Essential features
The underside of GSM3 click
holds the SIM
™
card slot. Aside from that the click
following additional features: audio input/
output connection pad (for microphone
and earphones, can also be used as an FM
antenna). The STM800H module supports
Bluetooth so the click
has an active 2.4GHz
™
antenna. A connector for an external GSM
antenna is also provided. Two indication
LEDs signal the operating and network
status of the module.
