10.3 Using the Alarm Output GPIO6 
The GPIO6 pad, when configured as Alarm Output, is controlled by the GE863-QUAD / PY module 
and will rise when the alarm starts and fall after the issue of a dedicated AT command. 
This output can be used to power up the GE863-QUAD / PY controlling microcontroller or application 
at the alarm time, giving you the possibility to program a timely system wake-up to achieve some 
periodic actions and completely turn off either the application and the GE863-QUAD / PY during sleep 
periods, drammatically reducing the sleep comsumption to few μA. 
In battery powered devices this feature will greatly improve the autonomy of the device. 
10.4  Using the Buzzer Output GPIO7 
The GPIO7 pad, when configured as Buzzer Output, is controlled by the GE863-QUAD / PY module 
and will drive with appropriate square waves a Buzzer driver. 
This permits to your application to easily implement Buzzer feature with ringing tones or melody 
played at the call incoming, tone playing on SMS incoming or simply playing a tone or melody when 
needed by your application. 
A sample interface scheme is included below to give you an idea of how to interface a Buzzer to the 
GPIO7: 
 
 
NOTE: To correctly drive a buzzer a driver must be provided, its characteristics depend on the Buzzer and for them 
refer to your buzzer vendor.
