:1. Shorting '''AL''' and '''ON''' will automatically power on
 
:2. '''GND''' and '''PSW''' are pins for external reset/momentary switch

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


* ⚠️ '''Note:''' 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.

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


'''⚡ Function 1: Power Always On'''
[[File:X306 IMG 6998.JPG|700px|X306]]
* '''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'''
'''🔘 Function 1: AL & ON - Power Always On'''
* '''How to connect''': Prepare a momentary push button and connect it '''between''' the GND and PSW pins.
* '''Short''': Power always on, power button disabled.
* '''Effect''': You can use this button to power the Raspberry Pi on/off.
* '''Open''': Power button Press to switch on, Hold 3 seconds to switch 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.

'''🔘 Function 2: PSW & GND - External Power Switch'''
 
* '''How to connect''': Prepare a momentary push switch and connect it '''between''' the GND and PSW pins.
'''📌 Tips'''
* '''Effect''': Same function as onboard Button.
* The two functions are independent — you can use one, both, or neither.
* '''⚠️ Note''': PSW GND are the two connection points for the switch. '''Do not short them directly.'''
* If using both: short AL-ON for auto power-on, and connect a switch between GND-PSW. They do not interfere with each other.
