accessory connect shall be set to low (0V). It remains low until the External Emergency
Time has passed or the user exits the emergency. If the user presses emergency during
the External Emergency Time, the timer starts over. If the user exits emergency before
the External Emergency Time has passed, the output line returns to Vbatt.
