3.6.2.1. Turn off the Module Using the PWRKEY Pin

Driving the PWRKEY pin to a low-level voltage for at least 650ms, the module will execute power-down
procedure after the PWRKEY is released. The timing of turning off the module is illustrated in the following
figure.

3.6.2.2. Turn off Module Using AT Command

It is also a safe way to use AT+QPOWD command to turn off the module, which is similar to the procedure
of turning off the module via PWRKEY pin.
Please refer to document [2] for details about AT+QPOWD command.
NOTES
1. In order to avoid damaging internal flash, please do not switch off the power supply when the
module works normally. Only after the module is shut down by PWRKEY or AT command, the
power supply can be cut off.
2. When turning off the module with the AT command, please keep PWRKEY at a high level after the
execution of the command. Otherwise, the module will turn itself back on after being shut down.

3.6.3. Reset the Module

The RESET_N pin can be used to reset the module. The module can be reset by pulling the RESET_N
pin low for at least 300ms and then releasing it. The RESET_N signal is sensitive to interference, so it is
recommended that the traces between the RESET_N pin and customers' device should be as short as
