Startup
Before startup, the components required for 
your application must be connected. The 
SIM card must be inserted in a deenergized 
state.
The TC35 Terminal is ready for operation 
when supply voltage is applied and the 
ignition line is activated. If the 
recommended plug-in power supply unit is 
used, the ignition line is already connected 
to the supply voltage line, and the TC35 
Terminal is thus immediately switched to 
the active state. It starts the network search 
and registers with network operator. Please 
read the following conditions for switching 
the Terminal on and off:

Simply applying supply voltage (+ to pin 1 
and GND to pin 6) alone is not enough to 
switch on the TC35 Terminal.
It can be switched on in two different ways:
Activation of the IGT_IN ignition signal 
on the power supply connection
The switching regulator is switched on with 
the IGT_IN=high signal. When the 
switching regulator is switched on, VBAT is 
generated as the operating voltage for the 
GSM module. This still does not activate the 
GSM module. Triggered by VBAT, a 
transistor switch generates the IGT ignition 
signal with a delay of approx. 100ms for the 
GSM module. Only then is it switched on. 
(It exits the POWER DOWN operating 
state.)
