5.1 Turning ON the GE865
To turn on the GE865 the pad ON# must be tied low for at least 1 second and then
released.
When the power supply voltage is lower than 3.4V the pad ON# must be tied low at least
3 seconds.
The maximum current that can be drained from the ON# pad is 0,1 mA.
A simple circuit to do it is:

Reproduction forbidden without Telit Communications S.p.A. written authorization - All Rights Reserved page 18 of 82
NOTE:
Don't use any pull up resistor on the ON# line, it is internally pulled up. Using pull up
resistor may bring to latch up problems on the GE865 power regulator and improper
power on/off of the module. The line ON# must be connected only in open collector
configuration.
GE865 Hardware User Guide
1vv0300799 Rev.11 – 13-07-2010
NOTE:
In this document all the lines that are inverted, hence have active low signals are
labelled
TIP:
To check if the device has powered on, the hardware line PWRMON should be
monitored. After 900ms the line raised up the device could be considered powered on.
NOTE:
It is mandatory to avoid sending data to the serial ports during the first 200mS of the
module startup.

A flow chart showing the proper turn on procedure is displayed below:
NOTE:
In order to avoid a back powering effect it is recommended to avoid having any HIGH
logic level signal applied to the digital pins of the GE865 when the module is powered
off or during an ON/OFF transition.

For example:

microcontroller (uP_OUT1):
2- Let's assume you need to drive the ON# pad directly with an ON/OFF button:

5.2 Turning OFF the GE865
Turning off of the device can be done in two ways:
via AT command (see GE865 Software User Guide, AT#SHDN) by tying low pin ON#
Either ways, the device issues a detach request to network informing that the device will not be
reachable any more.
To turn OFF the GE865 the pad ON# must be tied low for at least 2 seconds and then released. A Pulse
duration less than 2 seconds should also start the power off procedure, but this is not guaranteed.
The same circuitry and timing for the power on must be used.
The device shuts down after the release of the ON# pad.

TIP:
To check if the device has been powered off, the hardware line PWRMON must be
monitored. The device is powered off when PWRMON goes low.
