A simple level shifter based on diodes is used on W_DISABLE1# pin and W_DISABLE2# pin which are
pulled up to a 1.8 V voltage in the module, as shown in the following figure. So, the control signals (GPIO)
of the host device could be at 1.8 V or 3.3 V voltage level. W_DISABLE1# and W_DISABLE2# are active
LOW signals, and a reference circuit is shown as below.

4.5.3. WWAN_LED#
The WWAN_LED# signal is used to indicate RF status of the module, and its sink current is up to 10 mA.
To reduce current consumption of the LED, a current-limited resistor must be placed in series with the
LED, as illustrated in the figure below. The LED is ON when the WWAN_LED# signal is at low level.
