3.4.2.1. Power down module using the PWRKEY pin
Customer’s application can turn off the module by driving the PWRKEY to a low level voltage for
certain time. The power-down scenario is illustrated as in Figure 9.
The power-down procedure causes the module to log off from the network and allows the
software to save important data before completely disconnecting the power supply, thus it is a safe
way.
Before the completion of the power-down procedure, the module sends out the result code as
shown below:
NORMAL POWER DOWN
Note: This result code does not appear when autobauding is active and DTE and DCE are not
correctly synchronized after start-up. The module is recommended to set a fixed baud rate.
After this moment, no other AT commands can be executed. And then the module enters the
POWER DOWN mode, only the RTC is still active. The POWER DOWN mode can also be
indicated by the STATUS pin, which is a low level voltage in this mode.

3.4.2.2. Power down module using AT command
Customer’s application can use an AT command “AT+QPOWD=1” to turn off the module. This
command will let the module to log off from the network and allow the software to save important
