2.18  VCC_RTC (Real Time Clock) 
2.18.1 Interface  description 
This pin is used as a back-up power supply for the internal Real Time Clock. 
The RTC is supported by the module when powered on but a back-up power 
supply is needed to save date and hour when the module is switched off. 
If the RTC is not used this pin can be left open.
