What's that small wire on the 857 power lead?

I have 2 FT857D's (with addon SSB 2.3kc and CW 500hz filters). Both have the brown wire. If you look at the boards of the 857D and 897D, they are identical. The brown wire puts it into low power, "battery save" mode, just like the 897D does when in battery mode.
