| <div style="padding: 15px; background-color: #f8f9fa;">

The V1.3 & V1.5 version has a 4-pin reserved interface (AL ON & PSW GND) that can be used for the following functions:

<span style="color: #c0392b; font-weight: bold;">⚠️ To use these expansion functions, you will need to prepare your own soldering tools, 4-pin header, jumper cap, and 2-pin momentary switch. These items are not included in the X306 package.</span>

'''🔧 Preparation'''

* Solder a 4-pin header to the reserved interface of X306.

* If you don't need these functions, just use the board as is — no action required.

:1. ~~Shorting '''AL''' and '''ON''' will automatically power on~~

[[File:X306 IMG 6998.JPG|700px|X306]]

:2. '''GND''' and '''PSW''' are ~~pins~~ for ~~external reset~~/~~momentary switch~~

'''🔘 Function 1: AL & ON - Power Always On'''

* '''Short''': Power always on, power button disabled.

* '''Open''': Power button Press to switch on, Hold 3 seconds to switch off.

'''🔘 Function 2: PSW & GND - External Power Switch'''

* '''How to connect''': Prepare a momentary push switch and connect it '''between''' the GND and PSW pins.

* '''Effect''': Same function as onboard Button.

* '''⚠️ Note''': PSW GND are the two connection points for the switch. '''Do not short them directly.'''

* Integrated battery reverse polarity protection circuit

* Integrated over current protection and over voltage protection

* Intelligent automatic charging and discharging

* Intelligent automatic charging and discharging. '''When the battery discharges to 2.4V, the built-in protection chip will cut off the battery connection'''

* 4 blue LEDs indicate battery charging and discharging levels of 25%, 50% , 75% and 100%

* Red & green LEDs show the status of power on/off and charging status

~~The V1.3 version has a 4-pin reserved interface (AL, ON, GND, PSW) that can be used for the following functions:~~

~~'''🔧 Preparation'''~~

* This interface does '''not''' come with pre-soldered headers. If you need to use the functions below, you will need to solder a 4-pin header yourself.

* If you don't need these functions, just use the board as is — no action required.

~~'''⚡ Function 1: Auto Power-on'''~~

* '''How to connect''': Short the AL and ON pins with a jumper cap or solder bridge.

* '''Effect''': When power is connected, the Raspberry Pi will boot up automatically — no need to press any button.

~~'''🔘 Function 2: External Power Button'''~~

* '''How to connect''': Prepare a momentary push button and connect it '''between''' the GND and PSW pins.

* '''Effect''': You can use this button to power the Raspberry Pi on/off.

* '''⚠️ Note''': GND and PSW are the two connection points for the switch. '''Do not short them directly''' — they must be connected through an external switch.

~~'''📌 Tips'''~~

* The two functions are independent — you can use one, both, or neither.

* If using both: short AL-ON for auto power-on, and connect a switch between GND-PSW. They do not interfere with each other.
