1Introduction

In order to help customers develop applications with Quectel MC90 module conveniently, Quectel

supplies corresponding development board (MC90-TE-A) to test the module. This document can help

customers quickly understand MC90-TE-A interface specifications, electrical and mechanical details and

1.1. Safety Information

The following safety precautions must be observed during all phases of operation, such as usage, service

or repair of any cellular terminal or mobile incorporating MC90 module. Manufacturers of the cellular

terminal should send the following safety information to users and operating personnel, and incorporate

these guidelines into all manuals supplied with the product. If not so, Quectel assumes no liability for

customers’ failure to comply with these precautions.

Full attention must be given to driving at all times in order to reduce the risk of an

accident. Using a mobile while driving (even with a handsfree kit) causes

distraction and can lead to an accident. Please comply with laws and regulations

restricting the use of wireless devices while driving.

Switch off the cellular terminal or mobile before boarding an aircraft. The operation

of wireless appliances in an aircraft is forbidden to prevent interference with

communication systems. If the device offers an Airplane Mode, then it should be

enabled prior to boarding an aircraft. Please consult the airline staff for more

restrictions on the use of wireless devices on boarding the aircraft.

Wireless devices may cause interference on sensitive medical equipment, so

please be aware of the restrictions on the use of wireless devices when in

hospitals, clinics or other healthcare facilities.

Cellular terminals or mobiles operating over radio signals and cellular network

cannot be guaranteed to connect in all possible conditions (for example, with

unpaid bills or with an invalid (U)SIM card). When emergent help is needed in such

conditions, please remember using emergency call. In order to make or receive a

call, the cellular terminal or mobile must be switched on in a service area with

adequate cellular signal strength.

The cellular terminal or mobile contains a transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it

receives and transmits radio frequency signals. RF interference can occur if it is

used close to TV set, radio, computer or other electric equipment.

In locations with potentially explosive atmospheres, obey all posted signs to turn

off wireless devices such as your phone or other cellular terminals. Areas with

potentially explosive atmospheres include fuelling areas, below decks on boats,

fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, areas where the air contains

chemicals or particles such as grain, dust or metal powders, etc.
