3.2. Turning On and Off the Module
3.2.1. Turning On the CC864-DUAL
To turn on CC864-DUAL, the pad ON# must be tied low for at least 1 second and
then released.
The maximum current that can be drained from the ON# pad is 0,1 mA.
A simple circuit to do it is:
3.2.2. Initialization and Activation state
Upon turning on CC864-DUAL, CC864-DUAL is not activated yet because the boot
sequence of CC864-DUAL is still going on internally. It takes about 10 seconds to
complete the initializing the module internally.
For this reason, it would be useless to try to access CC864-DUAL during a
Initialization state as below. To get the desirable stability, CC864-DUAL needs at
least 10 seconds after the PWRMON goes High.
During the Initialization state, any kind of AT-command is not available. DTE must be
waiting for the Activation state to communicate with CC864-DUAL.

CC864-DUAL Hardware User Guide
1vv0300791 Rev 4.4 – 2011-01-26
Reproduction forbidden without Telit Communications S.p.A’s. written authorization - All Rights Reserved. Page 18 of 63
NOTE:
To check if the CC864-DUAL has powered on, the hardware line PWRMON must be
monitored. When PWRMON goes high, the module has powered on.
NOTE:
Do not 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 CC864-DUAL power regulator and
improper power on/off of the module. The line ON# must be connected only in open
collector configuration.
NOTE:
In this document all the lines are inverted. Active low signals are labeled with a name
that ends with a "#" or with a bar over the name.
NOTE:
CC864-DUAL turns fully on also by supplying power to the Charge pad (provided
there is a battery on the VBATT pads).
For example:
1- Let us assume you need to drive the ON# pad with a totem pole output of a
+1.8/5 V microcontroller (uP_OUT1):
3.2.3. Turning Off the CC864-DUAL
The module may be turned off with either a software command or a hardware
shutdown circuit.
When the device is shut down, it notifies the network that it is powering down and is
therefore no longer reachable.
Warning: Never disconnect power before the power off procedure is completed. This
may cause severe damage and render the module inoperable.

3.2.3.1. Hardware Shutdown
To turn the CC864-DUAL off, the ON/OFF Pin must be tied low for 2 second and
then released.
The same circuitry and timing used for powering on the module must be used for
powering off the module.
The device shuts down after the ON_OFF pin is released.
When the hold time of ON/OFF# is above 2 seconds, CC864-DUAL goes into the
finalization state and finally will shut down PWRMON at the end of this state.
The period of the finalization state can differ according to the situation in which the
CC864-DUAL is so it cannot be fixed definitely.
Normally it will be above 10 seconds later from releasing ON/OFF# and DTE should
monitor the status of PWRMON to see the actual power off.
TIP:
To check if the device has powered off, hardware line PWRMON must be monitored.
When PWRMON goes low, the device has powered off.
3.2.3.2. Software Shutdown
The “Software User Guide” contains procedures for shutting down the module using
AT-commands.
3.2.4. Hardware Reset
To perform a hardware reset and to reboot the module, the RESET pin must be tied
low for at least 200 milliseconds and then released. The following figure shows a
sample circuit to accomplish this operation:

1vv0300791 Rev 4.4 – 2011-01-26
Reproduction forbidden without Telit Communications S.p.A’s. written authorization - All Rights Reserved. Page 20 of 63
TIP: A hardware reset circuit should be always implemented on the host board and
used as an emergency reset procedure only.
NOTE: If unused, the RESET pin may be left unconnected. Otherwise, it must
always be connected to an open collector transistor to permit the internal
circuitry to control the signal during the power on reset and under voltage lockout
functions.
Reset Signal Operating Levels:
Signal MIN MAX
RESET Input High 2.0V* 2.6V
RESET Input Low 0V .2V
*This signal is internally pulled up so the pin can be left floating if not used.
An Example
Let us assume you need to drive the RESET# pad with a totem pole output of a
+1.8/5 V microcontroller (uP_OUT2):
