If the voltage is lower than the threshold, the module might fail to start. If the voltage is higher than the threshold
or there is a voltage burst during the startup, the module might be damaged permanently.
If you use LDO or DC-DC to supply power for the module, ensure that it outputs at least 2.5A current. When the
module works at maximum power in the GSM/GPRS system, the transient peak current might reach the peak.
Add a large capacitor near the VBAT pin to enhance the capability to output continuous current and avoid voltage
drop.

If the module works in an environment of -30°C to -40°C or 75°C to 85°C, RF performance might be beyond the
requirements of 3GPP. This does not affect the running of the module. The RF performance will meet the 3GPP
standard after the temperature reaches the operating range.
