Note: When shut off VBAT and power on VRTC only, the clock error becomes larger.
4.5. Serial Port and USB Interface
SIM800C default provides one unbalanced asynchronous serial ports. The module is designed as a DCE (Data
Communication Equipment). The following figure shows the connection between module and client (DTE).
