*Note: The STATUS pin can be used to detect whether module is powered on or not. When module 
has been powered on and firmware goes ready, STATUS will be high level, or else STATUS will 
still low level. 
3.4.3  Reset Function 
SIM7020 can be reset by pulling the RESET pin to ground. 
Note: This function is only used as an emergency reset. The RESET pin will be ineffectiveness in 
the power off mode.     
The RESET pin has been pulled up to 1.8V with a 40KΩ resistor internally. So it does not need to 
be pulled up externally. It is strongly recommended to put a100nF capacitor and an ESD protection 
diode close to the RESET pin. Please refer to the following figure for the recommended reference 
circuit.
