1.  Use RESET_N only when turning off the module by 

AT+QPOWD 

command and PWRKEY pin failed.   

2. 

Ensure that there is no large capacitance on PWRKEY and RESET_N pins. 

 

3.9. 

(U)SIM Interfaces 

 

EG95 provides two (U)SIM interfaces, and only one (U)SIM card can work at a time. The (U)SIM 1 and 

(U)SIM 2 cards can be switched by 

AT+QDSIM

 command. For more details, please refer to 

document 

[2]

 

The (U)SIM interfaces circuitry meet ETSI and IMT-2000 requirements. Both 1.8V and 3.0V (U)SIM cards 

are supported.
