It's in there. I quote:
Battery Check
After inserting the batteries, it is often helpful to make a
quick check to see if batteries are inserted properly, and the
camera's electrical systems are functioning. To check battery
voltage, activate the camera's metering system by pressing the
shutter button partway, and observe the viewfinder LED shutter
speed display. The shutter speed LED will glow continuously
if normal voltage is being supplied.
Low Battery Warning
When batteries become weak, the viewfinder shutter speed LED
will begin to flicker. Although all electronic systems will
continue to function accurately until the display goes out
completely, both batteries should be replaced promptly to
ensure uninterrupted operation of the camera's electronic
exposure controls.
It then goes on to explain how the shutter will continue to function
without batteries at shutter speeds from 1/2000 to "X", while
selecting an electronically controlled shutter speed (1/60 to 4s) will
cause the mirror to lock in the up position as a warning, until you
turn the shutter speed back to a mechanically controlled speed.
