The thing is that I am 100% positive that my version C displayed little 
bars, along with the 210V stuff and the contunual beeping.  

IF you look in Jim Donnelley's handbook it says when in the diagnostic mode
that 
"[G]       ESD test monitor. Bars indicate battery status."

The regular manuals say nothing at all about this.  I suppose I will have to 
wait until the batteries get low.  I would like to know if the pressence of the
bars indicates that the batteries are getting low.
