To resume normal operation after a total power loss (no or empty battery) the "Power-On Reset Override (PORO)" facility needs to be disabled. As the oscillator may take a long time (200 ms to 2 s) to resume normal operation. The default behaviour is to use the PORO facility. But with the PORO active no interrupts are generated on the interrupt pin (INT).
