PSM is similar to switch off, but the module is still registered on the network. After waking up from PSM mode, the module does not need to reattach or reestablish a PDN connection. Therefore, after the module enters the PSM, it can not immediately respond to user requests. When the module needs to use the PSM, it will request an activity time value during each attach and TAU process. If the network side supports PSM and accepts the module to use the PSM, then the network confirms PSM usage by assigning the module an activity time value. If the module wants to change the activity time value, for example when the conditions in the module change, the module will request the desired value during the TAU. If the network side supports PSM, PSM function can be enabled by AT command. Wake up the module from the PSM state as follows: 1. Pull PWRKEY pin to low level to wake up the module; 2. Wait for the timer (T3412) overflow, the module will automatically wake up. 3.3 Control Signal The M910-GL module provides two control signals for power on/off and reset operations. The pin definitions are as follows: Pin name I/O Pin Description EMG_RST I 33 When the module is in work, give it a Tst (150 ~ 460ms) low level, and then pull it high, the module is reset

Please refer to the AT command manual for the specific AT command. 3.5.3 USIM design requirements SIM card circuit design shall meet EMC standards and ESD requirements, and at the same time, it shall improve anti-interference ability to ensure that the SIM card can work stably. The design needs to strictly observe the following rules:  SIM card slot is placed as close to the module as possible, away from the RF antenna, DCDC power, clock signal lines and other strong interference sources;  Adopt the SIM card slot with metal shield shell to improve anti-interference ability;  The length of cable from the module to the SIM card slot shall not exceed 100mm. Longer cable reduces signal quality.  CCCLK and CCIO signals are isolated to avoid mutual interference. If it is difficult to do so, SIM signal needs to be protected as a set;  The filter capacitor and ESD device of SIM card signal cable are placed close to the SIM card slot. Select 22 ~ 33pF capacitor for ESD device equivalent capacitor. 3.6 UART Interface 3.6.1 UART interface definition M910-GL module has two serial interfaces: serial interface 0 and serial interface 1.

M910-GL Hardware User Manual Page 36 of 45 4.2 Antenna Design 4.2.1 Antenna design requirements 1) Antenna efficiency Antenna efficiency is the ratio of antenna input power to radiated power. Due to the antenna return loss, material loss, and coupling loss, the radiated power is always lower than the input power. Recommend> 40% (-4dB). 2) S11 or VSWR S11 shows that the matching degree of the antenna’s 50 ohm impedance, to a certain extent, affects the antenna efficiency. VSWR test methods can be used to measure this parameter. Recommend S11 <-10dB. 3) Polarization Polarization is the rotation direction of the electric field in the maximum radiation direction of the antenna. It is recommended to use linear polarization. 4) Radiation pattern Radiation pattern refers to the antenna’s electromagnetic field strength in the far field in all directions. Half-wave dipole antenna is the most suitable terminal antenna. For built-in antenna, PIFA antennas or IFA antennas are recommended: Antenna area: 6mm high*10mm wide*100mm long. Antenna radiation direction: Omni_directional. 5) Gain and directivity Antenna directivity refers to the electromagnetic field strength of electromagnetic wave in all directions. Gain is a collection of antenna benefits and antenna directivity. Recommended antenna gain ≤2.5dBi. 6) Interference In addition to the antenna performance, other interferences on the PCB also may affect the performance of the module. In order to ensure the high performance of the module, interference must be controlled. Suggestions: For example, LCD, CPU, FPC cable, audio circuit, power supply should be as far as possible away from the antenna, and make the appropriate isolation and shielding, or filtering on the path. 7) Antenna index requirements M910-GL module main antenna requirements Frequency range It shall use the most suitable antenna to adapt
