Parameter Definition
BSS_SHUT This flag determines whether the unit should
shut-down before the battery is drained to
the point where it may become damaged,
and no longer hold a charge. If the flag is 0
(the default), then the battery will continue
to discharge until it is dead (that is, data is
prioritized above battery life). If the flag is 1,
then the unit will shut down before the battery
is damaged (that is, battery life is prioritized
above data).
BSS_DISC This flag represents whether the batteries
where fully discharged when the unit was last
shut-down. This flag is used internally by the
firmware, and should not be altered by the user.
BSS_WPLC This flag represents whether the EF5XX should
write-protect when the battery charge is too low
to completely save data. The default value is 1
to protect data.
