- The following batch file will reset the low battery warning - it will
- stay off only if main batteries are above warning level.
- c:\_sys\debug < set
- The file "set" must be in same directory as the batch file and
- contains the following two lines:
- e 40:c8 00
- q

- The above procedure makes the use of NiCads a little simpler. The low
- battery warning in my HP95LX triggers at such a high voltage that
- the use of NiCads is perfectly safe - in fact, I can use them for
- some time after the warning goes off, carefully monitoring my
- battery voltage with 95BUDDY or such (battck.com, or any program with
- 3 digit resolution is more reliable for checking battery voltage, even
- though the last digit is only "approximate").
