1Introduction

In this document you can find the information on how to use the evaluation board (EVB) to develop and

test Quectel L80, L80-R, L86, and LC86L modules.

1.1. Safety Information

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

or repair of any terminal incorporating Quectel L80, L80-R, L86 and LC86L modules. Manufacturers of the

terminal should distribute the following safety information to users and operating personnel and include

these guidelines into all manuals supplied with the product. Otherwise, Quectel assumes no liability for

customers’ failure to comply with these precautions.

Ensure that the use of the product conforms to the national safety and

environmental regulations, and is allowed to be used in the country and in the

required environment.

Keep away from explosive and flammable materials. The use of electronic

products in extreme power supply conditions and locations with potentially

explosive atmospheres may cause fire and explosion hazards.

The product must be powered by a stable voltage source. Additionally, the wiring

must conform to security and fire prevention regulations.

Proper ESD handling procedures must be applied throughout the mounting,

handling and operation of any application that incorporates the module to avoid

ESD damages.

1. 1) The antenna connector is invalid for the L80-R module, as the module does not support an external

antenna.

2. 2) The L80-R does not support active antenna detection interface, so the D307 (AADET_N) is invalid for

this module as well. Additionally, D305 and D306 are not supported by any of the applicable modules.

3. 3) The L80 and L80-R modules do not support the FORCE_ON interface, so the FORCE_ON button is

invalid for those modules.
