Re: Low Battery Shutdown, Installation, Full Screen, etc...

While this may be a solution, I would be much happier finding a way to inform
the user to change the battery and shutting down the device or ensuring that
my program is always loaded onto the unit. I'm sure this has to be possible
otherwise the units wouldn't come up with the OS when the battery goes
completely dead.
