4.2.2.1. Power down SIM800 by the PWRKEY Pin
User can power down SIM800 by pulling down the PWRKEY pin for at least 1 second and then release. Please
refer to the power on circuit. The power down sequence is illustrated in following figure.
Figure 13: Timing of power down SIM800 by PWRKEY
Note: When module is powered off by pulling down PWRKEY, the pull down time exceeds 33 seconds will
course the module power up.
This procedure makes the module log off from the network and allows the software to enter into a secure state to
save data before completely shut down.
Before the completion of the power down procedure, the module will send URC:
NORMAL POWER DOWN
At this moment, AT commands can not be executed any more, and only the RTC is still active. Power down mode
can also be indicated by STATUS pin, which is low level at this time.
4.2.2.2. Power down SIM800 by AT Command
SIM800 can be powered down by AT command “AT+CPOWD=1”. This procedure makes the module log off from
the network and allows the software to enter into a secure state to save data before completely shut down.
Before the completion of the power down procedure, the module will send URC:
NORMAL POWER DOWN
At this moment, AT commands can not be executed any more, and only the RTC is still active. Power down mode
can also be indicated by STATUS pin, which is at low level at this time.
For details about the AT command “AT+CPOWD”, please refer to document [1]
