[Pro2006] Flashing battery warning and beeping

[P.L.]

I've had this same problem for a couple of years now and I emailed the group 
a few times and nobody ever seemed to have the same problem so nobody ever 
had an answer.

If you figure anything out, please post it.

Sylvia, could you possibly email me the schematic too and any other ones you 
have for the 2006 would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Paul
