Customer can also use “AT+CLVL” to adjust the output gain level of receiver and speaker.
“AT+QECHO” is used to set the parameters for echo cancellation control. “AT+QSIDET” is used
to set the side-tone gain level. For more details, please refer to document [1].

3.10.1. Decrease TDD noise and other noise
The 33pF capacitor is applied for filtering out 900MHz RF interference when the module is
transmitting at GSM900MHz. Without placing this capacitor, TDD noise could be heard.
Moreover, the 10pF capacitor here is for filtering out 1800MHz RF interference. However, the
resonant frequency point of a capacitor largely depends on the material and production technique.
Therefore, customer would have to discuss with its capacitor vendor to choose the most suitable
capacitor for filtering out GSM850MHz, GSM900MHz, DCS1800MHz and PCS1900MHz
separately.
The severity degree of the RF interference in the voice channel during GSM transmitting period
largely depends on the application design. In some cases, GSM900 TDD noise is more severe;
while in other cases, DCS1800 TDD noise is more obvious. Therefore, customer can have a
choice based on test results. Sometimes, even no RF filtering capacitor is required.
The capacitor which is used for filtering out RF noise should be close to RJ11 or other audio
interfaces. Audio alignment should be as short as possible.
In order to decrease radio or other signal interference, the position of RF antenna should be kept
away from audio interface and audio alignment. Power alignment and audio alignment should not
be parallel, and power alignment should be far away from audio alignment.
The differential audio traces have to be placed according to the differential signal layout rule.
