the module will not work, but  the serial port  and USB port  are  still 
acces
sible. The power consumption in this mode is lower than normal 
mode. 
PSM mode 
In this mode, the module will be the least current consumption. 
Meanwhile
, all the output of the LDO and DCDC in the module will be 
closed except the RTC power. And also all of the functions will be 
unavailable except the RTC function. In PSM, RTC_GPIO0 will 
change state from high to low.    RTC_EINT or PWRKEY    can wake 
Power off mode 
Module will go into power off mode by sending the AT command 
“AT+ C P OWD ” or pull down the PWRKEY pin, normally. In this 
mode the power management unit shuts down the power supply, and 
software is not active. The serial port and USB are is not accessible.   
 
5.3.2  Sleep mode 
In sleep mode, the current consumption of module will be reduced to the minimal level, and module 
can still receive paging message and SMS. 
Several hardware and software conditions must be satisfied together in order to let SIM7020 enter 
sleep mode:   
1. UART condition   
2. USB condition   
3. Software condition 
5.3.3  Minimum functionality mode and Flight mode 
Minimum functionality mode ceases a majority function of the module, thus minimizing the power 
consumption. This mode is set by the  AT command which provides a choice of the functionality 
levels. 
 
●  AT+CFUN=0: Minimum functionality 
●  AT+CFUN=1: Full functionality (Default) 
●  AT+CFUN=4: Flight mode 
 
If SIM7020 has been set to minimum functionality mode, the RF function and SIM card function will 
be closed. In this case, the serial port and USB are still accessible, but RF function and SIM card will 
be unavailable.   
If SIM7020 has been set to flight mode, the RF function will be closed. In this case, the serial port 
and USB are still accessible, but RF function will be unavailable.   
When SIM7020 is in minimum functionality or flight mode, it can return to full functionality by the 
AT command “AT+CFUN=1”.
