4.1.2. Monitoring Power Supply
AT command “AT+CBC” can be used to monitor the VBAT voltage. For detail, please refer to document [1].
4.2. Power on/off SIM800C
4.2.1. Power on SIM800C
Customer can power on SIM800C by pulling down the PWRKEY pin for at least 1 second and release. This pin
is already pulled up to VBAT in the module internal, so external pull up is not necessary. Reference circuits are
shown as below.
