1.3.2Safety Precautions
The following safety precautions must be observed during all phases of the operation, usage,
service or repair of any cellular terminal or mobile incorporating GWM300. Manufacturers of
the cellular terminal are advised to convey the following safety information to users and operating personnel and incorporate these guidelines into all manuals supplied with the product.
Failure to comply with these precautions violates safety standards of design, manufacture and
intended use of the product. Gemalto M2M GmbH assumes no liability for customer’s failure to
comply with these precautions.
When in hospitals or other health care facilities, observe the restrictions on the use
of mobiles. Switch off the cellular terminal or mobile if to be instructed to do so by
the guidelines posted in sensitive areas. Medical equipment may b e sensitive to RF
energy.
The operation of cardiac pacemakers, other implanted medical equipment and
hearing aids can be affected by interference from cellular terminals or mobiles
placed close to the device. If in doubt about potential danger, conta ct the physician
or the manufacturer of the device to verify that the equipment is properly shielded.
Pacemaker patients are advised to keep their hand-held mobile away from the
pacemaker, while it is on. This personal subgroup always should check the distance
to the mobile.
Switch off the cellular terminal or mobile before boarding an aircraft. Make sure it
cannot be switched on inadvertently. The operation o f wireless appliances in an aircraft is forbidden to prevent interference with communications systems. Failure to
observe these instructions may lead to the suspension or denial of cellular services
to the offender, legal action, or both.
Check the local and actual laws about these themes.
Do not operate the cellular terminal or mobile in the presence of flammable gases
or fumes. Switch off the cellular terminal when you are near petrol stations, fuel
depots, chemical plants or where b las ting ope ratio ns ar e in pr ogre ss. Op erat ion of
any electrical equipment in potentially explosive atmospheres can constitute a
safety hazard.
Your cellular terminal or mobile receives and transmits radio frequency energy wh ile
switched on. Remember that interference can occur if it is used close to TV sets,
radios, computers or inadequately shielded equipment. Follow any special regulations and always switch off th e cellular terminal or mobile whereve r forbidden, or
when you suspect that it may cause interference or danger.
Road safety comes first! Do not use a hand-held cellular terminal or mobile while
driving a vehicle unless it is securely mounted in a holder for speakerphone operation. Before making a call with a hand-held terminal or mobile park the vehicle.
Speakerphones must be installed by qualified personnel. Faulty installation or operation can constitute a safety hazard.
Check the actual and local laws about these themes.

IMPORTANT!
Cellular terminals or mobiles operate using radio signals and cellular networks. In
that case connections cannot be guarante ed at all times under all conditions. Therefore, you should never rely solely upon any wireless device for essential communications, for example emergency calls.
Remember, in order to make calls or receive calls the cellular terminal or mobile
must be switched on in a service area with adequate cellular signal strength.
Some networks do not allow for emergency calls if certain network services or
phone features are in use (e.g. lock functions, fixed dialing etc.). You may need to
deactivate those features before you can make an emergency call.
Some networks require a valid SIM card to be properly inserted in the cellular terminal or mobile.
If a power supply unit is used to supply the device it must meet the demands placed
on SELV circuits in accordance with EN60950. The maximum permissible connection length between the device and the supply source should not exceed 3m.
According to the guidelines for human exposure to radio frequency energy, an
antenna connected to the FME jack of the device should be placed at least 20cm
away from human bodies.

3.4.1RS-232 Interface
The RS-232 interface is implemented as a serial asynchronous transmitter and receiver conforming to ITU-T V.24 Interchange Circuits DCE. Based on the conventions for DCE-DTE connections it communicates with the host application (DTE) using the following signals:
•Port TxD @ application sends data to TXD0 of the GWM300
•Port RxD @ application receives data from RXD0 of the GWM300
The serial interface (also called ASC0) is configured for 8 data bits, no parity and 1 stop bit, and
is by default operated at a fixed baud rate of 9600bps, b ut can be conf igured for bit rates from
1200bps to 921kbps. Autobauding supports bit rates from 1.2kbps to 230kbps. Hardware handshake using the RTS0 and CTS0 signals and XON/XOFF software flow control are supported.
In addition, the modem control signals DTR0 and DCD0 are available. There are different
modes of operation that can be set with AT commands.
3.4.2Power Supply
The power supply of the GWM300 has to be a single voltage source of V
=5V…26V capable
PLUS
of providing a peak current of about 2.5A at 15V during an active transmission . The uplink burst
causes strong ripple (drop) on the power lines. The absolute minimum voltage during drops
must be >5V.

In general, be sure not to turn on the GWM300 while it is beyond the safety limits of voltage
stated in Section 4.1. GWM300 immediately switches off after having started and detected
these inappropriate conditions. In extreme cases this can cause permanent damage to the
GWM300.
3.5.1Turn GWM300 on
GWM300 is automatically turned on and started into normal mode by plugging or by re-plugging an appropriate power supply unit at the power supply line BATT+.
3.5.2Reset/Restart GWM300
GWM300 can be reset/restarted by entering the command AT+CFUN=x,1. For details on
AT+CFUN please see [1].
3.5.3Turn GWM300 off
Normal shutdown:
•To turn off the GWM300 use the AT^SMSO command, rather t han disconnecting the mains
adapter.
This switch off procedure lets the GWM300 log off from the netwo rk and allows the software
to enter a secure state and save data before disconnecting the power supply. After
AT^SMSO has been entered the GWM300 returns the following result codes:
^SMSO: MS OFF
OK
^SHUTDOWN
The "^SHUTDOWN" result code indicates that the GWM300 turns off in less than 1 second.
After the shutdown procedure is complete the GWM300 enters the Power Down mode. The
RTC is still fed from the voltage regulator in the power supply ASIC.
Only after power off and power on again, i.e., turning off and on the power supply line, can the
terminal be switches on again. Apart from teh normal shutdown
3.5.4Disconnecting Power Supply
Before disconnecting the power supply from the BATT+ pin, make sure that the GWM300 is in
a safe condition. The best way is to wait 1s after the "^SHUTDOWN" result code has been indicated.

3.6SIM Interface
The SIM interface is intended for 1.8V and 3V SIM cards in accordance with GSM 11.12 Phase 2.
The card holder is a five wire interface according to GSM 11.11. The SIM card holder is protected by a rubber cover that has to be opened before a SIM can be inserted.
Figure 5: SIM interface
The SIM - with the circuit side facing upwards - is inserted by gently pushing it into the SIM card
holder until it snaps hold. It is now protected from accidental removal. The SIM can be removed
from the card holder by using a flat object such as a screwdriver to carefully press the inserted
SIM until it snaps out again.
All signals of the SIM interface are protected from electrostatic discharge.
Removing and inserting the SIM card during operation requires is not supported by GWM300.
Note: No guarantee can be given, nor any liability accepted, if loss of data is encountered after
removing the SIM card during operation. Also, no guarantee can be given for properly initializing any SIM card that the user inserts after having removed a SIM card during operation. I n this
case, the application must restart the GWM300.
3.7Status LED
GWM300 has a green LED to indicate its operating status.
Figure 6: Status LED
The LED is enabled by default, but can be configured by AT command AT^SLED. For more
information on the AT^SLED command please refer to [1].

3.8RF Antenna Interface
An external RF antenna is connected via the GWM300’s female FME connector that is also the
antenna reference point (ARP).
Figure 7: Antenna connector
The system impedance is 50. In any case, for good RF performance, the return loss of the
customer application’s antenna should be better than 10dB (VSWR < 2). GWM300 withstand
a total mismatch at this connector when transmitting with maximum RF power.
Additional ESD protection to the antenna connector is provided. No DC voltage must be applied
to the antenna circuit to protect it from damage.
Please note that the terminal should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of
20cm between the antenna connected to the terminal and any human bodies. Also, the transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
The antenna's character impedance should be 50
. It it recommended that the antenna should
have VSWR <=2:1, within the working band frequency range.
