The minimum input voltage is software defined with a user selectable range of 3.88V to 5.08V in 80mV increments. Out of
the box, the minimum input voltage is set to 4.36V in order for the LiPo battery to be able to properly charge.
3G operation
2G operation
The Electron is available in three different versions: A 2G version based on u-blox G350 cellular module, and two 3G versions
based on U260 and U270 modules. The difference between the 3G versions is their operating frequency band which differs
based on the country. All of these cellular modules are GSM only and do not support CDMA networks.
