3.4.2.2.3.5.2.2. Turn off the Module through AT Command
It is also a safe way to use AT+QPOWD command to turn off the module. For more details about the
command, see document [2].
The module is designed to be turned on with a host GPIO. Pull down FULL_CARD_POWER_OFF# pin
after the module’s USB/PCIe is removed. Otherwise, the module will be powered on again.
