OFF = Device OFF, Fast blink = Searching for Network & Not Registered, Slow Blink = Registered with full service, Permanently on = call is active. See Telit DE910-DUAL manual for additional information. 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 DE910-DUAL modem module. 0 1.65V Ground Pin 1.8V or 3.3V 1.8V No connection 5.5V Must be implemented 0 Modem Request to Send hardware flow control input Must be implemented VIL: GND to 0.15V VIH: VREF-0.4 V to VREF 16 RTS Input 17 DIO3 I/O Programmable GPIO_03 on Telit DE910-DUAL module 0 1.8V No connection 18 DIO2 I/O Programmable GPIO_02 on Telit DE910-DUAL module 0 1.8V No connection 19 ADC1 Input 0 1.2V No connection 20 ON_OFF Input 0 1.8V Must be implemented. 2.1.2.2 ADC_IN1 input on TelitDE910-DUAL module (12bit resolution, 24.4dBm 24.4dBm 3.0 or 5.0V 5.3 Recommended Antennas Type Manufacturer Part Number Primary & Diversity Taoglas​ TG.30.8113 Taoglas​ MA.301.A.AB.001 Primary & Diversity Primary & GNSS 1 MobileMark1​ 1 PSKN3-900/1900S Note 1​: U.FL to SMA adapter required.
