    3.1. USB Interface Figure 4: Micro-USB Interface The main power is supplied via Micro-USB interface. Quectel provides two ways for data communication: Micro-USB and UART interface which are controlled by serial port alternation switch (S401). Both of RS232 and Micro-USB cable are necessary, if you want to use UART in order to output NEMA. So the easy way is that use Micro-USB cable which both provides the power and output NEMA.
