A.1 Programming the Watchdog Timer
To program the watchdog timer, you must write a program which writes a
value to I/O port address 443 (hex). This output value represents time
interval. The value range is from 01 (hex) to FF (hex), and the related
time interval is 1 sec. to 255 sec.
Data Time Interval
01 1 sec.
02 2 sec.

FF 255 sec.
After data entry, your program must refresh the watchdog timer by rewrit-
ing the I/O port 443. When you want to disable the watchdog timer, your
program should read I/O port 043 (hex). The following example shows
how you might program the watchdog timer in BASIC:
10 REM
