OFF = Device OFF, Fast blink = Searching for Network & Not Registered, Slow Blink = Registered with full service, Permanently on = call is active. See TelitGE910-QUAD manual for additional information. 0 1.65V 14 VREF Input Voltage reference for offboard I/O signals. This signal drives the input voltage side of an onboard buffer which converts all external I/O voltage from VREF range to 1.8V range to drive the onboard Telit HE910 modem module. 15 GND Input Ground Pin 1.8V or 3.3V 1.8V No connection 5.0V Must be implemented 0 Must be implemented 16 RTS Input Modem Request to Send hardware flow control input VIL: GND to 0.15V 17 DIO3 I/O Programmable GPIO_03 on TelitGE910QUAD module 0 1.8V No connection 18 DIO2 I/O Programmable GPIO_02 on TelitGE910QUAD module 0 1.8V No connection 19 ADC1 Input ADC_IN1 input on TelitGE910-QUAD module (10bit resolution, 2 W VSWR recommended
