The turning off of the device can be done in two ways:

by software command
by hardware shutdown

When the device is shut down by software command or by hardware shutdown, it issues to the
network a detach request that informs the network that the device will not be reachable any more.

In the case of Network unavailability the detach will be attempted few seconds (typical 6secs).
After this timeout the module will be shut down.

2.4.1.2 Hardware shutdown

To turn OFF the GE863-GPS the pin ON# must be tied low for at least 2 second and then released.
The same circuitry for the power on can be used.
The device shuts down after the release of the ON# pin.

When it goes low, the device has powered off.
